What are the responsibilities and job description for the Outside Sales Representative position at Max's Welding Supplies?
Outside Sales Representative – Max’s Welding Supplies (El Dorado & Emporia)
Location: Based in El Dorado, Kansas (servicing both regions)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Who We Are (and Why You’ll Like Selling for Us)
We’re Max’s Welding Supplies — a family-run outfit that’s been fueling welders, fabricators, and hard workers across Kansas for decades. We’re not fancy — but we’re proud, steady, and serious about taking care of our people (and our customers).
If you’re the kind of person who can talk business over the sound of a cutting torch, remember names, and build trust faster than a salesman in a cowboy hat, we need you.
This job is part relationship builder, part problem solver, part comedian — because let’s face it, good sales takes all three.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
· Shaking hands, building relationships, and keeping customers happy across both El Dorado and Emporia.
· Driving around (your playlist, your choice) to meet folks who actually want to see you show up.
· Finding new business opportunities — without being “that” pushy salesperson.
· Working with the operations and delivery crews so customers always get what they need, when they need it.
· Writing quotes, handling bids, and doing it all with a smile that says, “We’ve got you covered.”
· Repping Max’s with pride — because this brand’s been trusted longer than most trucks on the lot.
What We’re Looking For
· 3 years in outside sales (bonus if it’s in welding, industrial supply, or something with grease involved).
· A people person who can talk to anyone — shop owners, drivers, or the guy fixing the air compressor.
· A good listener who knows how to turn “maybe later” into “let’s do it.”
· Reliable, self-motivated, and allergic to excuses.
· Must have a valid driver’s license and a decent sense of direction.
· Comfortable traveling between El Dorado and Emporia — no overnights, just solid Kansas days.
The Heart of Max’s
Sales here isn’t about pressure — it’s about partnership. Our best salespeople know every customer’s story, care about their business, and take pride in being the person they call first when they need something. When you work for Max’s, you’re not just closing deals — you’re carrying forward the heart of a company that still believes in handshakes and hard work.
What’s In It for You
· Base pay commission structure— you sell, you earn.
· Paid time off (because even the best talkers need a break).
· Company credit card for travel between locations.
· No overnights — home every night, barbecue optional.
· The chance to grow your career with people who actually mean it when they say “family company.”
Unofficial Motto
Build relationships, not excuses. Make ‘em laugh, make ‘em loyal, make ‘em customers for life.
