- Design personalized flooring solutions using real samples in the customer’s lighting, furniture, and décor

- You get to be the expert, build lasting relationships, and watch your earnings grow
What We’re Looking For:
- A relationship-builder – you know how to build instant connections and drive through high-status networks
- A closer — you know how to move conversations toward a confident “yes”
- An eye for design — doesn’t have to be formal, but you understand color, light, and balance
- In-home consultative sales experience strongly preferred (flooring, kitchens, solar, closets, etc.)
- Pet friendly – everyone in Chicago has animals, so as long as you are good with animals we are good with you!
- Comfortable driving to multiple appointments per day across the city
