Schwan & Sons Painting Co. is looking for a motivated Sales Associate / Field Sales Representative to help grow our residential, commercial, and subcontracting business throughout Edmonton and surrounding communities.

This role is for someone who is comfortable speaking with customers, building relationships, following up consistently, and asking for the sale.

We will provide some company-generated opportunities, but successful candidates will also be expected to generate new business through referrals, networking, cold outreach, contractors, property managers, realtors, builders, and other local businesses.

Your earning potential will be directly tied to your ability to generate opportunities, move leads through the sales process, and convert quotes into booked projects.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Responding to and following up with new leads
- Qualifying prospective residential and commercial clients
- Meeting homeowners, property managers, contractors, and commercial customers
- Coordinating site visits and gathering project information
- Assisting with preparing accurate scopes for estimating
- Presenting quotes and explaining the value of our services
- Following up consistently on outstanding estimates
- Closing approved projects
- Generating new leads through referrals, networking, cold calling, email outreach, and local prospecting
- Developing relationships with general contractors, property managers, realtors, builders, and renovation companies
- Identifying subcontracting and overflow opportunities with other painting contractors
- Maintaining an organized pipeline of leads, quotes, follow-ups, and booked work
- Representing Schwan & Sons Painting Co. professionally in the field

How You Earn Compensation will be performance driven, with opportunities to earn at each stage of the sales process.

The structure may include compensation for:

- Each qualified recent lead generated
- Each lead converted into a formal quote




- Each quote converted into a booked job
- Commission based on the value of completed sales
- Additional bonuses for self-generated commercial or subcontracting opportunities
- Mileage reimbursement for approved business travel

There is no set ceiling on earning potential. Strong performers who consistently generate opportunities and close work can significantly increase their monthly income. What Makes This Role Different
- Uncapped earning potential
- Company-provided leads plus self-generated opportunities
- Residential and commercial sales
- Opportunities to develop contractor and subcontractor relationships
- Freedom to build your own pipeline
- Flexible scheduling
- Established local company and existing client base
- Clear sales processes and follow-up systems
- Opportunity to grow into a larger business-development or sales-management role

Who We’re Looking For This role is a strong fit for someone who:
- Is confident speaking with homeowners and business owners
- Enjoys meeting new people and building relationships
- Is comfortable asking directly for the sale
- Understands the importance of consistent follow-up
- Is motivated by performance-based compensation
- Can work independently without constant supervision
- Is comfortable cold calling and prospecting
- Is organized and able to manage multiple opportunities at once
- Wants to increase their income based on results
- Represents the company professionally and respectfully

Requirements
- Previous sales experience preferred
- Experience in painting, construction, home services, property management, or related industries is an asset
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Comfortable making outbound sales calls
- Comfortable sending prospecting and follow-up emails
- Valid driver’s licence
- Reliable vehicle
- Smartphone and access to email




- Ability to travel throughout Edmonton and surrounding communities
- Strong organizational and follow-up skills

What Success Looks Like A successful Sales Associate will consistently:
- Generate new qualified leads every week
- Move leads into scheduled estimate opportunities
- Follow up on every outstanding quote
- Improve quote-to-job conversion
- Build relationships with contractors and property managers
- Develop repeat and referral business
- Identify new commercial and subcontracting opportunities
- Maintain an active sales pipeline
- Help keep Schwan & Sons crews consistently scheduled

The sales process is straightforward: Generate leads → convert leads to quotes → convert quotes to jobs → build long-term relationships.

Who This Role Is NOT For

This position may not be a good fit for someone who:

- Requires constant supervision
- Is uncomfortable making cold calls
- Does not want to prospect for new business
- Avoids asking customers for the sale
- Does not consistently follow up
- Wants to rely entirely on company-provided leads
- Is uncomfortable with performance-based compensation
