Pro Sales Associate - Balboa

Pro Sales Associate

To thrive as a Pro Sales Associate, you must be approachable, organized, and genuinely interested in helping our customers. Some basic computer skills are necessary to use our customer management software. An outgoing personality with a positive attitude will help you start up conversations with strangers and being a self-starter will be useful as well so you can jump in and help wherever you see a need. You don't need to have any previous experience or knowledge in paint or sales. We'll teach you everything you need to know, which makes this a perfect starting point to launch your career.

As our Pro Sales Associate at Behr, you'll be working in a Home Depot store as a sales specialist focusing on professional painting contractors and their unique needs. On your own and working with the Pro Desk staff, you'll meet and form relationships with local pros who rely on Behr for excellent products and exceptional customer service. You will build relationships with pros in the store who may be there for paint but are more likely there for something else. When an outside rep sends a contractor to you for paint, you will roll out the red carpet by collaborating with them to get exactly the right products for their needs, mix the paint, collect any sundry paint tools they need and get them in and out of the store quickly so they can get back to work. You will make our professional customers feel like they had a paint store experience.

As a Pro Sales Associate, your work hours will vary based on peak selling times. This could mean weekends, holidays, and shifts that can extend until 7 p.m. We work while consumers shop!

What We're Looking For From You:

• An outgoing personality. You'll support the Home Depot Pro Desk and introduce yourself to any contractors. Get to know them, their business, and their needs. You'll maintain this relationship and follow up regarding their jobs and any future needs.
• Collaboration. You'll work closely with Behr's outside sales reps and take care of our customers when they come into the store, including pulling and tinting orders for pick up. This will require occasional lifting of up to 75 lbs. You'll also work closely with the Home Depot staff. We are all one team, so as their vendor you'll be professional and helpful, working to maintain this mutually beneficial relationship.
• Basic computer skills. You'll enter all your new leads and contacts into Salesforce, our customer relationship management tool. We can train you on this program, but all prior computer knowledge is a plus.
• Bilingual. You are not required to speak a second language, but many of our professional contractors do. If you have this knowledge, that's definitely a bonus.
• A high school diploma or GED equivalent is required for all roles at Behr Paint Company.

What We Offer You:

• Competitive pay and bonus opportunities. Sell more gallons = more money!
• Accrue 15 paid days off your first year plus sick days.
• 401(k) retirement plan with 4% match. Annual retirement profit sharing payments.
• Competitive health plans for individuals and families.
• Check out behr.com/careers to view a comprehensive list of our benefits and perks.
