What are the responsibilities and job description for the Experienced Retail Sales Manager position at STU’S HOME IMPROVEMENT OUTLET?

Retail Sales Manager

Base Salary Override Commission · High-Ticket Retail Sales · $125,000–$225,000 OTE

Build the team. Own the number. Get paid on both.

You've led a commission floor before, so you know the truth of it: a great sales team is built, not hired.

We are looking for an experienced sales manager who has built and led a team of people in a commission-based retail environment. This experience is a hard requirement.

At STU'S HOME IMPROVEMENT OUTLET, you'll run a showroom sales team selling high-ticket home improvement products to customers who walk in ready to buy — no lead-generation grind, just warm traffic and real deals to close. Your job is to turn good reps into great ones and hold the floor to a number, while your own earnings ride on the team you build.

If you've done this in furniture, automotive, home improvement, windows, flooring, or another high-ticket environment, this is a chance to take full ownership of a floor's performance — and be paid like it when your team delivers.

What you'll own

You run the day-to-day: setting clear expectations, coaching reps on engagement, presentation, follow-up, and closing, and holding people accountable to their numbers without killing the energy on the floor. You'll track activity, appointments, and results, spot where deals stall, and step into complex or high-value sales yourself when a rep needs backup. You'll also help hire, onboard, and develop the team, and shape the sales strategy that lifts the whole floor — not just the top performer.

The reps who work for you should get better every month. That's the job.

What you bring
  • 2 years selling high-ticket products or services (furniture, autos, appliances, windows and doors, flooring, roofing, remodeling, building materials, or similar)
  • Management experience in a commission-based, retail environment REQUIRED
  • Direct experience leading or managing a commission-based sales team, ideally in a high-ticket retail or showroom environment
  • A track record of coaching reps, tracking performance, setting expectations, and getting a team to hit its goals
  • A confident closer yourself — comfortable stepping into a high-value sale and modeling how it's done
  • Organized enough to run multiple priorities and read the numbers, steady enough to lead by example
  • Valid driver's license · authorized to work in the U.S. · able to work full-time onsite
Compensation

Competitive base salary plus override commission on team performance, with expected annual earnings of $125,000–$225,000. What you land in that range is driven by how your team performs — build a strong floor and you're rewarded for it, every month.

Why STU'S
  • Real base plus commission tied to team results — you're paid on the floor you build
  • Warm showroom traffic, so your reps sell instead of prospect, and you coach instead of chase leads
  • A team of experienced, high-ticket sellers to develop, not rebuild from scratch
  • Direct impact on results and a clear path to grow your leadership career
  • A culture that actually values accountability and sales performance
