Trade Show Sales Specialist
Closets by Design - Salt Lake City
We're looking for a personable, confident, and high-energy individual to represent Closets by Design at Home Shows and trade events throughout Utah. Your mission: engage with attendees, get them excited about what we do, and book free in-home design consultations with our sales team.
What You'll Do
  • Work the booth during scheduled shows (we handle the main setup-some assistance with setup/take-down required).
  • Be on your feet for the duration of the show-approaching attendees, starting conversations, and introducing our products and services.
  • Book as many qualified appointments as possible-your income depends on your energy and ability to connect.
  • Represent our core values in every interaction.

What We're Looking For
  • Outgoing personality and ability to talk to anyone.
  • Confidence and enthusiasm that draw people in.
  • High stamina-you'll be on your feet and in motion for hours.
  • Self-motivation and drive to exceed booking goals.
  • Willingness to assist with light setup and tear-down.
  • Alignment with Closets by Design Salt Lake City's core values of professionalism, integrity, and exceptional service.

Compensation
  • $40/hour for time at the show.
  • $50 per set appointment (average 20-50+ appointments depending on effort and skill).
  • 1099 independent contractor position.

Schedule & Opportunity
  • Shows are scheduled throughout the year-up to 8 events annually across Utah for top performers.
  • Each show lasts several days-weekends required.

Since 1982, we've built a reputation of integrity as the industry leader in customer service and total customer satisfaction. From our no obligation in-home consultation, custom tailored designs and the highest quality product construction, our products simply offer the best value in the industry.
