Counter Sales Representative - Industrial

Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for a high-energy, fast-paced Counter Sales Representative to join our team. This role is the first point of contact for customers and plays a critical part in daily operations.

This is not a typical cashier or retail position . Our environment is fast-moving and high-pressure, requiring strong multitasking, attention to detail, and the ability to handle multiple customers at once—both in person and over the phone.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong multitasking and organizational skills
• Ability to work quickly and accurately under pressure
• Friendly, assertive, and professional communication style
• Fast learner with a strong sense of urgency
• Comfortable handling multiple responsibilities at once
• Good computer skills and ability to learn internal systems
• Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented
• Bilingual (Spanish/English) is a plus, but not required

What You’ll Do

• Greet and assist walk-in customers in a professional and efficient manner
• Answer incoming calls (35–60+ per day) and provide immediate assistance
• Respond to customer emails while managing in-person and phone interactions
• Enter orders accurately into QuickBooks using product and service codes (no barcode system)
• Process hardware, steel materials, and service orders
• Generate invoices and packing slips for customers
• Assist customers with general product questions and basic guidance when needed
• Maintain awareness of multiple customers at once and manage time effectively
• Help pull small items, carry materials, and assist customers in the showroom or yard when needed

Work Environment & Expectations

• High-paced, high-pressure environment — some days are nonstop
• Must be able to multitask constantly (walk-ins, phone calls, and emails at the same time)
• Calls must be answered quickly (by the 2nd ring when possible)
• Customers are often in a hurry and may be under pressure — strong customer handling skills are required
• Accuracy and speed are equally important — mistakes can delay jobs, cost money, and impact customer relationships

Training & Development

• First 3 weeks: Basic training and system/product introduction
• Weeks 4–6: Continued learning, asking questions, building confidence
• By 2 months: Expected to operate independently with minimal supervision

This position is the face of our company and a key part of our daily operations. The right person will help ensure customers are taken care of quickly, accurately, and professionally every time.
