Job Description
What are the position details ?
Paid Weekly - Reps are paid $25.00 base-appt, that is not based on sales results. A commission structure is available and is set up based on performance. There is an opportunity to make more, but there is still a fall back for the sales rep to make an income even if they have an off week.
Solid training - We've been training people to do well for over 40 years. We teach our reps how to do well in this role before they start and offer continued support and additional training as time goes on. Even if someone doesn't decide to stay with us long term, the sales, networking, & communication skills they build are needed for any field.
Product - We work with Cutco products that are used in the home focusing on the kitchen and some gardening tools as well. Previous experience & knowledge about home goods or sales isn't needed.
Flexible scheduling - We help our reps create a schedule that works best for them. Some work as much as possible, some work part time, some are looking for seasonal work, and others choose to earn extra income around other commitments such as classes, their full time jobs, internships, or family obligations.
Location - Sales reps work from home and locally after training. Meetings and training are held in the office.
Opportunity for Advancement - Reps can move into long term sales positions or become a manger (even if they only start out part time).
What are the requirements?
Enjoy working with people
All ages eighteen plus or seventeen and a high school graduate
Conditions apply
Willing to learn and apply new skills.
Who would do well in the position?
People who have done well with us in the past have had experience in retail, fast food, cashier, administrative assistant, receptionist/office work, landscaping, and in just about any field you can imagine (some have had no experience at all!). We welcome all applicants who have a positive attitude and are willing to work hard and learn new things.
This entry level sales position is a great opportunity for anyone looking for flexible work.
If you think you would be a great fit for our sales team, fill out your contact information and a receptionist will follow up with you about setting up a virtual interview with a manager.
We encourage applicants of all ages and experience, as we do not discriminate on the basis of an applicant's age.
