Commercial Sales Representative

Commercial Sales Representative- CertaPro Painters of Colorado Springs

CertaPro Painters of Colorado Springs is looking for someone to join our team as the Commercial Sales Associate/Representative in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas. We have a growing business and we need to add another high performing sales professional. CertaPro Painters is a leader in the residential and commercial painting industry nationally and locally. Our success has been built on the foundation of delivering certainty to our customers and employees. This sales role is amazing! It is full commission but the right person could make $100,000-$200,000 a year! This person would do both residential and commercial sales with the idea that the commercial sales would eventually be what this person does full time and they would be the backup for residential sales in our busiest spring and summer months in 2025.

Why CertaPro Painters of Colorado Springs

• We are the best nationally and locally. Although we are proud to be a part of the national CertaPro franchise system, the largest and most respected paint company in the United States, the local team has carved out our own incredible identity who is committed to family, fun and massive success.

Job Responsibilities:

Ideally, we would hire someone who wants to cultivate relationships with clients through networking and entertaining. Although we have existing customers who will provide repeat business, we need someone who is excited about identifying and introducing themselves to new commercial painting clients.

This is a sales job so we want hungry sales people who know how to close work. As mentioned previously, in the first year (2025) we would like to see this sales person do mostly commercial but also be available to handle residential sales when we are busy. Eventually this person would be a full time commercial sales representative.
