EZ Street Sales Manager - Outside Sales

Build Something New. Own the Territory. Grow the Brand.

Gallagher Asphalt is looking for a highly motivated, high-energy EZ Street Sales Manager to help grow one of the most exciting product lines in our business.

This is not a desk job. This is a field-first, relationship-driven sales role for someone who is hungry to win, comfortable hearing “no,” and motivated by turning cold calls into customers. If you are a self-starter with a hunter mentality, strong follow-through, and the drive to expand sales across Greater Chicagoland, this could be your opportunity!

As our EZ Street Sales Manager, you’ll be the face of EZ Street in the market—meeting with municipalities, villages, DOT contacts, utilities, contractors, distributors, and other potential customers to demonstrate the product, build relationships, and grow sales.

About EZ Street

EZ Street is a ready-to-use asphalt product designed for fast, effective, long-lasting pavement repairs. It is used for potholes, utility cuts, overlays, edge repairs, and other asphalt maintenance needs.

Your job? Get it in front of the right people, show them why it works, and build loyal customers across the territory.

What You’ll Do

Hunt New Business

• Build and grow a strong pipeline of new customers
• Make cold calls, walk into municipality/village/DOT offices, and open doors
• Schedule and lead customer visits throughout the territory
• Spend significant time on the road meeting customers face-to-face
• Attend trade shows, conferences, and industry events throughout the year

Demonstrate the Product

• Learn the EZ Street product inside and out
• Conduct regular product demonstrations for current and prospective customers
• Distribute samples and follow up with customers to convert interest into sales
• Help customers understand where, when, and how to use the product successfully

Build Strong Relationships

• Maintain and grow relationships with existing customers
• Create trust with public agencies, contractors, utilities, and private customers
• Follow up consistently and professionally
• Represent Gallagher Asphalt and EZ Street with energy, credibility, and confidence

Stay Organized & Own the Details

• Track customer interactions, leads, opportunities, and follow-up activity
• Use Microsoft Office, especially Excel, and other tools to stay organized
• Keep activity and pipeline information current and accurate
• Partner with internal teams to support product availability, customer needs, and territory growth

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

• 1 years of sales experience or demonstrated sales aptitude
• Willingness to cold call, walk into customer offices, and create opportunity
• Strong organization skills and ability to track leads, customer activity, and follow-up
• Basic working knowledge of Microsoft Office, especially Excel
• Comfort using technology and AI tools to work smarter and stay efficient
• Ability to travel regularly within approximately a 3-hour radius of Thornton, IL
• Willingness to travel overnight approximately 25% of the time, typically about one night per week
• Ability to attend approximately 10–12 trade shows per year, mostly September through April
• Valid driver’s license and a reliable personal vehicle
• Ability to lift a 50 lb bag and learn how to demonstrate the product

You are the kind of person who does not wait for opportunity—you go find it.

You are:

• A hunter
• A relationship builder
• A self-starter
• Resilient and persistent
• Coachable and resourceful
• Organized and accountable
• Positive, team-oriented, and driven
• Comfortable working independently
• Energized by goals, growth, and winning new business

You do not need to know everything on day one. But you do need to bring effort, curiosity, grit, and the willingness to learn fast.

Why Gallagher Asphalt?

At Gallagher Asphalt, you’ll join a team that values people, performance, growth, and doing things the right way. You’ll have the opportunity to help grow a product line with real potential, work with a supportive team, and make a measurable impact in the market.

This role is ideal for someone who wants more than a sales job—it is for someone who wants to build something.
