The role

As a new Sales Associate, you’ll join a sales team that is driving our steady growth. This is a steppingstone to a full Sales Representative position as we grow. You’ll develop leads and gather information through telephone, online prospecting and responding to lead generation. You’ll assist in turning warm leads into new business through presentations, showing how Northern Uniform provides the solutions these prospective customers need.

• A people person – you love meeting new people and feel energized by social interactions.

This is a full-time permanent position, with first year, on-target earnings upwards of $50,000. We offer generous commissions, bonuses, a group benefits plan, pension plan, and vacation. Most of your time will be spent in the office on the phone and computer reaching out to leads, setting appointments, entering new customer information and being the first point of contact for visitors and prospects walking in.
