Business to Business Outside Sales

Outside Sales Professional

Are you looking for a sales job where you can make a difference in a variety of industries? Look no further than the sign and graphics industry! Signs and graphics are used in ways you may not even realize, and the potential for sales is limitless.

As an Outside Sales Professional with FASTSIGNS, you'll enjoy the work-life balance of regular Monday-Friday business hours, with weekends and holidays off. We offer company-paid holidays and paid vacation, as well as the most extensive training programs in the industry. You'll receive a combination of formal and on-the-job introductory, intermediate, and advanced training to help you succeed.

You will receive a book of business to get you started, with a lucrative base salary for the first few months while building your business. After that, you can expect to make around $100,000+ per year with your lucrative commission structure.

In this role, you'll work with people across different industries, providing solutions that make an impact in and around their workplace. You'll spend your days meeting with clients, assessing their needs, prospecting for new business, networking, developing and executing customer solutions, and managing customer relationships. You'll sell a customized and ever-expanding product line based on customer needs and desires.

Our goal is to help you develop an in-depth knowledge of the signs and visual graphics industry and our product offerings. You'll learn the FASTSIGNS selling system through a combination of formal and on-the-job training. You'll identify and develop sales prospects and leads through business referrals and networking, outbound phone and email campaigns, and face-to-face meetings with large and small business customers.

Collaborative selling is our practice, and we'll work with you to develop estimates using our cloud-based point-of-sale estimating and delivery system. You'll collaborate with graphic designers, internal production staff, and custom fabrication vendors/partners to produce and deliver outstanding graphics and signage solutions. You'll manage customer expectations and resolve any customer satisfaction issues.

The challenge? Learning all there is to offer. We have a proven, successful training program to get you the basics, but you'll learn every day of your career with FASTSIGNS because we rarely do the same thing twice.
