Overview

At TDS Telecom, our Sales teams are our front-lines. They are interacting with customers everyday, at their doorstep -- educating them on our products and services, and how they can enrich their life. If you enjoy an entrepreneurial approach to outside sales, relationship building, having flexibility to create your schedule, and having trust from your leadership team to get the job done, our Direct Sales Representative opening might be right for you!

As a Direct Sales Representative, you will be selling our products and services door-to-door. You will be canvassing different neighborhoods in your assigned territory, door knocking and selling Internet, TV, and phone services to customers. If you enjoy being outdoors and not being tied to a desk, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Schedule:

Manage your own 40-hour work-week between 9am-9pm Monday-Saturday

Whether your background is in sales, recruiting, IT, education, social work or a similar field, this could be the right career path for you. Our Direct Sales teams are made up of diverse individuals from different backgrounds, but one thing is the same - they enjoy the flexibility we offer, the family-oriented "people first" approach to our culture, and the ability to grow in their career here.
