Schaeffer Manufacturing Company (Remote | 1099 Independent Contractor)

• Specialty products and aerosols

Role Overview

You will develop and manage accounts across:

• Manufacturing and industrial operations
• Fleet and transportation
• Construction and heavy equipment
• Agriculture and mining
• Food production and equipment maintenance

Your focus will be consultative selling— and we train you how to provide technical solutions and products that improve equipment reliability, extend service intervals, reduce maintenance costs, and create measurable value for customers.

Compensation Structure

Ideal Candidate Profile

This opportunity is well-suited for professionals who value:

• Relationship-based selling
• Long-term account development
• Business ownership mindset
• Income scalability
• Independence with structure

In this role, you operate as an independent business owner, not an employee. You control your schedule, your growth, your income, and your market development. There is no daily management, no micromanagement, and no corporate quotas tied to clocking hours.

What Schaeffer provides:

• A proven product line
• A trusted brand
• Technical training
• Sales systems
• Corporate infrastructure
• Support teams
• Marketing tools

What you build:

• Your book of business
