This is a 100% commission-only position with uncapped earning potential. There is no salary or hourly wage.
This opportunity is intended for an experienced JanSan salesperson who understands how to build and maintain a profitable book of recurring commercial business.
Six-Figure Income Potential

At Norsan, your income is not capped.
A successful representative who builds a substantial book of recurring JanSan business has the opportunity to earn:
$100,000–$150,000 annually
Exceptional producers with larger, highly profitable territories may have the opportunity to earn well beyond $150,000.
Because this is a commission-only position, actual earnings are entirely performance-based and are not guaranteed. Earnings will depend on sales volume, gross profit, customer retention, product mix, territory development, and the applicable commission structure.
Why the Opportunity Can Become Significant
JanSan is a recurring-consumption business. Customers continually need products such as chemicals, paper products, liners, soaps, floor-care products, and facility supplies.
That means a salesperson is not simply chasing one-time transactions.
The goal is to build a book of recurring customers that continues producing sales month after month.
The larger and more profitable the book of business becomes, the greater the representative's earning potential.
Build the territory. Grow the accounts. Keep the customers. Earn the commission.
