A defined path to Sales Manager, General Sales Manager, and beyond.

Some people love the win. Others love watching someone else get there. If you have a genuine passion for people and team development - if you have led, coached, or mentored others and found real meaning in it - this is a place to keep building that. We are looking for candidates with leadership experience who want to grow into a career, not just a job. You do not need furniture experience. We will teach you the business.

Lead it. Build it. Own it.

HOW YOU'LL LEAD + GROW

You'll learn about our business from the floor up - because you cannot coach a sales process you haven't mastered yourself.

LEARN — Weeks 1–8

• Pay: $25/hour or Commission/Bonus
• Paid professional training in product knowledge, the FDE sales process, technology, guest experience, financing, and protection - plus early exposure to floor leadership and the FDE Leadership Toolkit.

LEAD — Weeks 9–16

• Pay: $22/hour or Commission/Bonus
• Build your own book of business while you begin coaching others - mentoring new team members, supporting the floor, and developing the leadership behaviors we certify against.

OWN — Week 17+

• Pay: Assistant Selling Manager: $10,000 base + uncapped commission + bonuses
• Step into the leadership seat. Earn on your own production plus individual and store revenue bonuses, with Premier and President recognition and a path toward Sales Manager and General Sales Manager.

We pay you to learn. We coach you while you lead. Then we hand you a team.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Assistant Selling Managers carry their own book of business and help everyone around them get better.

• Drive sales by facilitating, encouraging, and consulting with team members - not just selling yourself.
• Stay in Position to Impact on the showroom floor, supporting team members who need guidance and stepping in for guests.
• Coach, train, and develop the sales team alongside the General Sales Manager and Sales Manager.
• Serve as a role model during onboarding, mentoring new team members through their first weeks.
• Assist in the recruitment and selection of service-minded team members.
• Assume full managerial responsibilities when the General Sales Manager or Sales Manager is unavailable, including opening and closing procedures.
• Meet or exceed your own sales quotas while measuring and improving team performance.
• Build your own guest pipeline through prospecting, follow-up, referrals, and appointment setting.
• Complete the FDE Leadership Toolkit certification, Leadership Training, and Manager's Essentials.

Leadership here means getting results through others - while still writing your own business.

WHO THRIVES HERE

We can teach furniture. We're looking for proven people leadership:

• You have current or recent experience leading people - supervising, coaching, or developing a team.

• You can hold people accountable with warmth - clear expectations, honest feedback, no drama.
• You set goals, measure performance, and follow through consistently.
