This is a relationship-focused sales position for someone who enjoys meeting decision-makers, building trust, identifying customer needs, and closing profitable commercial painting projects. You will develop new business while maintaining relationships with previous and existing customers.

This is not a blueprint estimating or plan-and-spec bidding position. You will not be responsible for preparing detailed takeoffs for large construction projects. Instead, you will identify sales opportunities, conduct customer meetings and site visits, and work with our estimating and operations teams to develop winning proposals.

What You'll Do

• Build and manage a strong pipeline of qualified sales opportunities
• Meet with business owners, property managers, facility managers, HOA board members, and other commercial decision-makers
• Identify upcoming painting, maintenance, repainting, and capital improvement needs
• Generate leads through prospecting, referrals, networking, previous customers, and local business relationships
• Reconnect with past customers to generate repeat business
• Conduct site visits to understand customer needs and gather project information
• Ask effective questions to identify customer priorities, timelines, budgets, and concerns
• Work with the estimating team to develop accurate proposals and recommended project solutions
• Present proposals and clearly communicate project scope, value, scheduling, and expectations
• Follow up consistently with prospects and customers
• Negotiate agreements and close profitable projects
• Manage opportunities from initial contact through project award
• Coordinate a smooth handoff of awarded projects to the operations team
• Maintain accurate customer, opportunity, and follow-up information in the company CRM
• Attend local networking events, business organizations, and industry association meetings
• Represent Blair Commercial Painting with professionalism, honesty, and a customer-first mindset
• Build long-term relationships that lead to repeat business and referrals

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in outside sales, business development, account management, or relationship-based sales
• A successful track record of generating leads, developing opportunities, and closing business
• Strong relationship-building and consultative selling skills
• Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation abilities
• Confidence speaking with business owners, property managers, facility managers, and other decision-makers
• Self-motivation and the ability to manage a sales territory independently
• Strong organizational, follow-up, and time-management skills
• A professional appearance and demeanor
• A customer-first approach with a strong commitment to follow-through
• Comfort visiting commercial and industrial properties
• A valid driver's license and the ability to travel throughout Southeastern Wisconsin
• Honesty, dependability, accountability, and a strong work ethic
