Part-Time Commercial Sales Representative

Job Description

Job Description

Job Summary
We’re a trusted Portland commercial cleaning company looking for a part-time salesperson . This is a true hunter role — you identify prospects, make cold calls, walk into businesses, conduct site assessments, and close deals.

You’ll build your own book of business and earn recurring commissions for as long as clients stay with us. Perfect for an experienced sales professional who wants flexible hours and real earning potential without a full-time commitment.

Responsibilities

• Prospect and cold outreach to commercial businesses (industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, trucking companies, office buildings, pet clinics, etc.)
• Conduct on-site walkthroughs and assess cleaning needs
• Prepare and deliver professional proposals
• Follow up persistently until deals are closed (most take 5–10 touches)
• Build and manage your own pipeline of $500–$12,000/month contracts
• Track activity and report weekly to the CEO

Requirements

• 2+ years of B2B sales experience (commercial services, facilities, or recurring contracts preferred)
• Local to Portland metro / SW Washington — you must know this market
• Comfortable with cold calls and unannounced walk-ins
• Professional, resilient, and self-motivated
• Comfortable working in industrial environments (plants, warehouses, trucking yards)

You are NOT a fit if:

• You rely on inbound leads or marketing to fill your pipeline
• You get discouraged after a few rejections
• You want a desk job or guaranteed full-time hours

Pay Structure

• Base Pay: $20–$30 per hour (minimum $20/hour, higher end negotiable based on experience)
• New Account Commission: 6–9% of first-month contract value (negotiable based on experience)
• Recurring Commission: 2.5–3.5% of monthly contract value, paid every month for as long as the client remains active (negotiable based on experience)

Real Examples:

• Close a $4,000/month office building → $240–$360 upfront + $100–$140/month recurring
• Close a $12,000/month industrial account → $720–$1,080 upfront + up to $420/month recurring
