Territory Sales Representative - Metro Detroit

Sales Representative Job at Behr

To thrive as a Sales Representative with Behr, you must be organized, approachable, professional, and be ready to manage every aspect of Behr-related business in five or more Home Depot stores in your area.

Our Territory Sales Representatives help us put our best foot forward, every single day. Daily, you will visit your stores and be the face of Behr. You'll do sales, relationship-building, merchandising, ordering, and any problem solving required. With every task and interaction, you will leave someone with a positive impression of Behr and the knowledge that we genuinely want to help them do their work better.

As a Territory Sales Representative, your work hours will vary based on peak selling times. This could mean weekends, holidays, and shifts that can extend until 7pm. We work while the consumer shops!

Here's what a typical day looks like for a Sales Rep:

• Sales. A proactive approach to selling that creates value for the customer will be very important for success.
• Relationships. The biggest and most important aspect of this job is building relationships. From Home Depot managers, Home Depot associates, other Behr reps, professional contractors, and residential customers in the stores… you will work with anyone to ensure Behr is able to help them with whatever project they're working on.
• Training. You'll train Home Depot associates, Behr team members, and even the public on Behr's product line. From time to time, you may lead a class or demonstration in the store to show customers how to properly stain a deck, paint trim, or find the proper finish for different rooms in their house. You must be comfortable speaking to groups and able to communicate clearly so they get all the knowledge you can share.
• Merchandising. We want our paint chips, brochures, and products to be fully stocked and the area clean to create a vibrant and eye-catching display. Your merchandising skills will draw customers to our products. This will require occasional lifting of up to 75 lbs.
• Ordering. Keeping the stores stocked with colorants, point-of-purchase materials like samples and brochures, etc… that's all part of your job. You will keep an eye on this inventory and order needed materials.
• Travel. You will travel between stores on a consistent and regular basis, making sure you spend adequate time at each location. You'll use an app to facilitate the tracking of your mileage for reimbursement. Be ready to supply a copy of your license and insurance information upon offer to keep the pre-employment process running smoothly.

Here's what we offer you:

• Competitive pay and bonus opportunities. Sell more gallons = more money!
• Accrue 15 paid days off the first year.
