Sales Representative, Flexible pipe, Central Illinois Job
My client is seeking a professional Sales Representative to sell polyethylene pipe to the agricultural, building, and municipal markets in the 'middle third' of Illinois.
You can live anywhere within the territory. Ideal locations are Decatur, Springfield, or Champaign, but up to you.
Must have an agriculture background, but not interested in livestock-only background. Pipe is sold to row-crop farmers, so need a background in grain.
The company will provide you with a small base salary, and you will receive unlimited commissions. Company will GUARANTEE your income up to $80,000 the first 18 months.
You will operate in a protected territory. Company will supply vehicle and cover all expenses.
Company pays 100% of health care benefits.
The company will NOT pay your relocation expenses; preference is for someone already living in the territory. Might consider someone who wants to relocate to the area at their own expense.
From the job description:
Sell pipe directly to farmers (60%) and to contractors and municipalities (40%) through distributors in an established area.
