Budget Blinds

Sales Person - Window Covering Designer

We are looking for a candidate who is an independent, tenacious, genuine salesperson and relationship-driven individual. Someone who diligently pursues new business opportunities yet offers practical solutions guided by sincere, integral business and professional values. The ideal candidate will be motivated by internal standards of excellence to exceed expectations and to be a contributing partner in a growing business. They will genuinely love to help people and organizations achieve their project goals and take pride in their creative, customized client solutions as well as their sales success and role in our business. 

This position will require a consistent and ongoing business development program of scheduled meetings with realtors, builders, architects, interior designers, contractors, tradespeople, property managers, BNI, Chamber and other networking groups. Part-time hours and a flexible work schedule are welcome and frankly ideal. The work schedule is as you make it, but it is important to note, this will not be an 8 to 5 / Monday - Friday position. Consult times are always during daylight hours, but often order inputs and sales documentation are ‘off-hours.’ Your ever-increasing sales results, and expanded industry relationships, will elevate your earning potential. 

In the world of window coverings, we have abundant design options, critical order details, fractions of inches, hundreds of vendors, and countless homes/businesses to decorate, so it’s important that we are able to nimbly swap hats between sales pitch, product specifications and service to make a client feel as though they are our only priority. The candidate that thrives in this position is one that is motivited by sales success while finding joy in providing creative client solutions and sincere customer service. 

You will be the partner of an energetic entrepreneur and directly contribute to the success of this not-so-small, woman-owned small business. You will learn about and become part of the ever-changing interior design community helping people marry window covering function with fashion. You will enjoy many feel-good days as you bring comfort and style to people’s homes and business interiors. You will have fun!
