Job Title: Outside Sales Representative – Building Materials

Location: Northeast Missouri / Quincy, IL region (based around Hannibal, MO, with support for Keokuk, IA, and Marshall, MO)

About You: If you're a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced sales environment, enjoys meeting new people, and is energized by the challenge of opening new markets — this role is made for you. You're someone who takes initiative, builds strong relationships easily, and isn't afraid to pick up the phone or knock on a door to create new opportunities.

You prefer not to be stuck behind a desk and enjoy being out in the field — visiting job sites, shaking hands, and developing relationships with contractors where they work. The added bonus? This sales territory is small and well-connected, so you’ll be home for dinner and sleep in your own bed every night.

About Us: We’re a family-owned, multi-location building materials supplier with a reputation for serving contractors and serious DIYers with integrity and reliability. With operations across northeast Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas, we’re growing into new markets — and we’re looking for a driven, relationship-focused sales professional to help us lead that expansion.

What You’ll Do:

  • Build and grow sales in the Quincy, Illinois area as well as Hannibal, Missouri and Keokuk, Iowa along with other nearby towns and counties
  • Develop long-term relationships with contractors, builders, remodelers, and project managers
  • Conduct in-person visits, site walkthroughs, and product presentations
  • Collaborate closely with inside sales and yard teams at Hannibal, Keokuk, and Marshall to ensure a seamless customer experience
  • Track leads, quotes, and customer activity
  • Report regularly on territory progress, obstacles, and opportunities
What We are Looking For:

  • 2+ years of B2B sales experience 
  • Proven experience in construction trades as a builder or contractor, top end tradesmen or sales to professional customers within an independent building material store, or a big box building material retail store. 
  •  building materials or construction background
  • Strong people skills and the ability to earn trust quickly
  • Highly motivated, organized, and goal-oriented
  • Comfortable traveling throughout the region and managing a focused territory
  • Capable of working independently while staying aligned with company goals
Compensation & Benefits:

  • Base salary: up to $75,000 as a base depending on experience plus unlimited earning potential in bonuses and commissions. 
  • Commission and performance bonuses: combined with the base salary, total compensation ranging from $80,000 to over $125,000 annually, based on results. We don’t cap commissions. As your sales grow, so does your compensation. 
  • Company vehicle
  • Health insurance, retirement plan, and paid time off
  • Professional development through workshops, classes, conferences for continuing education throughout employment with the company
Why Join Us? We’re not just hiring a salesperson — we’re investing in someone to help us grow. You’ll be backed by strong operational teams, a respected name in the region, and the autonomy to build a territory your way. If you’re ready to make a visible impact and grow with a company that values performance and people, we’d love to talk.
