Sales Development Program

Sales Development Program

The Sales Development Program is a 12-week program that supports our Consumer Brands Group. Selected candidates will support the Lowe's stores within the geographic region into which they are hired. The training location for the development program will be in the North Region and trainees must be located here for the duration of the training program. Trainees will be expected to travel to multiple stores in the assigned area to get the true experience of a Sales Representative within our company. In addition, trainees may be asked to travel outside of their assigned region to support business needs in other geographies, requiring travel both local and overnight. Preference will be given to candidates that are open to relocating based on business need upon completion of the program. This Development Program is the ideal fast track for candidates with long-term goals of pursuing a Sales Management career for a Fortune 500 company and provides immense opportunity to learn about Sherwin-Williams, the Consumer Brands Group and our multiple categories and channels of business. Following completion of the program, you will have the opportunity to apply for a post-program promotion within the Consumer Brands Group career path or with other Sherwin-Williams divisions. Post program opportunities may require relocation. Job duties involve contact with customers, which may include minors; and access to cash and other payment methods, electronic equipment, personal information, store merchandise, and other items of value, and such access may be supervised or unsupervised. The Company therefore has determined that a review of criminal history is necessary to protect the business and its operations and reputation and is necessary to protect the safety of the Company's customers, staff, employees, vendors, contractors, and the public.
