Business Development Consultant

Schaeffer Mfg.

Tired of Corporate Oversight? Ready to Build Something That's Yours?

If you're entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and looking for an opportunity where your effort directly determines your income, this might be right for you.

Schaeffer's Specialized Lubricants is seeking an Independent Sales Representative (1099) to develop and grow accounts in industrial, agricultural, construction, trucking, manufacturing, automotive, and other markets. Everything that moves requires lubricants!

This is not a corporate sales job. There are no mandatory meetings, micromanagers, or a boss checking your data in the CRM. Instead, you'll have the freedom and support to build your own business, set your own schedule, and create a recurring revenue stream by representing premium products that customers reorder again and again.

Why Schaeffer's?

For over 185 years, Schaeffer's has built a reputation for manufacturing high-performance lubricants, fuels additives, greases and other products that help clients reduce downtime, improve equipment performance, and lower operating costs

Our products are designed to create long-term customer relationships—not one-time sales

Our products are made in the USA, the company is family owned and growing

.

Who This Opportunity Is Perfect For

  • Current business owners looking to add a complementary revenue stream
  • Equipment dealers and service providers
  • Entrepreneurs who want to build an asset rather than just earn a paycheck
  • Corporate professionals who are tired of being managed and want more control over their future

What You'll Do

  • Identify and develop new business opportunities
  • Build relationships with business owners and decision-makers
  • Conduct product education and lubricant surveys
  • Help clients reduce maintenance costs, improve equipment reliability with documented ROI
  • Grow and maintain a book of business with repeat customers

What We Offer

  • Independent contractor (1099) status
  • Unlimited income potential, no layoffs, downsizing, etc.
  • Flexible schedule and territory development
  • Industry-leading products with a strong reputation
  • Comprehensive product and sales training
  • Technical support from experienced professionals
  • Opportunity to build a long-term business with residual incone

What We're Looking For

  • Strong work ethic and self-discipline
  • Entrepreneurial mindset
  • Ability to build relationships and earn trust
  • Sales experience is helpful but not required
  • Desire to control your own income and schedule

Take Control of Your Future

If you're looking for another job, this probably isn't for you.

If you're looking for the opportunity to build a business, create recurring income, and enjoy the freedom that comes with being your own boss while representing a proven premium product line, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today to learn more about becoming an Independent Sales Representative for Schaeffer's Specialized Lubricants.
