Design. Sell. Impress. Own Your Career.

Are you a natural with people? Do you love the art of design and the thrill of the close? At Floor Coverings International of Downtown Chicago, we don’t just sell floors — we transform spaces and elevate lifestyles.
We’re looking for an energetic, positive, high-performing Design Associate to join our elite team. You’ll meet clients in their homes, guide them through a stunning Mobile Showroom experience with over 3,000 samples, and help bring their vision to life — all while earning uncapped commissions and building a career in the heart of Chicago.


What You’ll Do:

• Drive to client homes in your territory (appointments provided daily)
• Design personalized flooring solutions using real samples in the customer’s lighting, furniture, and décor
• Build and present professional quotes with down-to-the-penny accuracy
• Learn to close deals on the spot — we don’t do “let me think about it”
• Hand off installations to our in-house coordination team and follow up for 5-star results
• Earn the client’s trust, repeat business, and referrals

What Makes This Role Special:

• Work from home – your hours are set by your appointments
• No showroom hours – You drive the Mobile Showroom to your client.
• Pre-qualified appointments daily — no cold calling required
• Cutting-edge design tools — including digital floor visualizers and real product samples
• Support of a proven brand backed our 5 Star rating, 400,000+ happy customers, and elite national buying power
• A small, ambitious team in Chicago’s fastest-growing flooring market
• You get to be the expert, build lasting relationships, and watch your earnings grow

What We’re Looking For:

• A relationship-builder – you know how to build instant connections and drive through high-status networks
• A closer — you know how to move conversations toward a confident “yes”
• An eye for design — doesn’t have to be formal, but you understand color, light, and balance
• In-home consultative sales experience strongly preferred (flooring, kitchens, solar, closets, etc.)
• Pet friendly – everyone in Chicago has animals, so as long as you are good with animals we are good with you!
• Comfortable driving to multiple appointments per day across the city
• Tech-savvy with tablets, quoting software, and digital tools
• Highly self-motivated, goal-oriented, and obsessed with delivering 5-star service
• Clean driving record — company vehicle is provided

What You’ll Earn:

• $70,000–$100,000+ realistic first-year earnings
• Commission + performance bonuses (no cap)
• Top-performers can expect over $100k annual payouts
• Paid training and mentorship
• Annual company convention to Cancun
• Fuel & mileage reimbursement with company card
• Ongoing personal development and leadership opportunities
• Join an award-winning culture and a team that wins together
