Trade Sales Consultant

Trade Sales Consultant

Pella is seeking a proven outside B2B sales hunter with experience in building materials or construction sales who knows how to grow a territory, influence specs, and win business at the job-site level.

If you've carried a bag, managed a territory, and built relationships with builders, contractors, and remodelers and you're motivated by uncapped commissions and performance, you'll feel right at home here.

The Role

As a Trade Sales Consultant, you'll operate as a territory business manager, responsible for driving new account acquisition and expanding share of wallet within existing customers. You'll work primarily in the field, calling on job sites and offices, influencing product selection early in the project lifecycle, and positioning Pella as the preferred window and door partner.

This is a quota-carrying, outside sales role with full ownership of results.

What You'll Do

• Prospect aggressively within your territory by visiting job sites, builders, contractors, remodelers, and trade partners
• Generate new business through networking, referrals, cold calls, and face-to-face selling
• Grow and manage a book of business with clear focus on new account acquisition and revenue expansion
• Influence product selection through consultative selling, specifications, and value-driven solutions
• Represent Pella at builder events, trade shows, association meetings, and customer events
• Partner with internal operations, service, and quoting teams to ensure smooth execution post-sale
• Maintain accurate pipeline, activity tracking, and forecasting in CRM
• Consistently achieve or exceed sales, profitability, and customer satisfaction targets

Who This Role Is For

You're a self-directed, field-based sales professional who prefers being in front of customers, not behind a desk. You understand how construction businesses operate and how purchasing decisions get made in the field.

Ideal Background

• 4+ years of outside B2B sales or territory management experience
• Experience selling building materials, construction products, or related solutions
• Comfortable calling on job sites, contractor offices, and end users
• Proven ability to open new accounts and develop long-term customer relationships
• Strong negotiation, objection-handling, and closing skills
• Ability to read blueprints, understand job specs, and discuss installation requirements
• High level of independence, organization, and time management

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
• Guaranteed commission ramp for first 3 months
• Mileage reimbursement
• 401(k) with company match
• Full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, HSA & FSA options, life insurance, short- and long-term disability, tuition assistance, and more!
• Home-based role with control over your schedule
• Clear career growth paths within sales and leadership

Territory & Location

• Must reside in Greater Phoenix or surrounding metro area
• Territory-based role with primarily local travel
• No relocation assistance provided

What Sets This Apart

• Strong brand recognition and premium product offering
• Sales support, operations backing, and internal expertise behind every deal
• Balance of hunter activity + relationship-based growth
• Long-term customer partnerships, not transactional selling
