What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sales Estimator position at Smith & Co. Painting?
About the Role
This is a ground-floor opportunity for someone who wants to learn how a real business operates — and get paid to do it.
As our Sales Estimator, you'll work directly alongside the owner, get in front of clients, price and sell jobs, and play an active role in keeping projects running smoothly.
No painting experience required. No sales background needed. What we're looking for is the right person — someone hungry, coachable, and ready to bet on themselves.
What You'll Do:
Estimating & Sales
- Walk properties and develop accurate project estimates
- Present proposals and close jobs with residential clients
- Follow up on leads and build strong client relationships
- Learn our pricing system from the ground up — we'll train you completely
Project Coordination
- Serve as the point of contact for active projects
- Coordinate crews, timelines, and client expectations
- Keep jobs on schedule and clients informed from start to finish
Business & Field Support
- Assist with local marketing — door hangers, community outreach, and grassroots campaigns
- Support content creation for our brand
- Show up where needed — this role wears many hats and that's intentional
Compensation
- $40,000 base salary
- Commission on jobs you sell and manage — realistic first-year total: $65,000
- Company car provided
- Direct mentorship from an industry leader who has helped grow 300 painting companies.
Who We're Looking For
You don't need a degree or industry experience. You need the right mindset.
✅ Hungry to earn — commission is an opportunity, not a risk
✅ Self-motivated — you're already investing in yourself outside of work
✅ Coachable — you ask questions, take feedback, and apply it fast
✅ People person — you're comfortable talking to clients and building trust
✅ Whatever it takes — no task is beneath you when the team needs it done
This Role Is Not For You If
❌ You need to be micromanaged
❌ You're looking for a job to coast through
❌ You're not willing to get uncomfortable to grow
