Sales Manager- Furniture Outlet Store

SALES MANAGER — HIGH ENERGY | FLOOR FIRST | GROWTH MINDED

| Dubuque, Iowa | Full-Time

$85,000 – $100,000+ | Base + Uncapped Commission | Immediate Opening

WE NEED SOMEONE WHO BRINGS THE ENERGY, ROLLS UP THEIR SLEEVES, AND GETS IT DONE.

We are a fast-growing privately owned retail operation in the Dubuque area and we are expanding into new markets. We have the traffic, the leads, the inventory, and the financing programs. What we need now is a high-energy Sales Manager who increases revenue through sales — not through planning, not through meetings, not through reports — through selling.

If you are the kind of person who walks in every morning ready to attack the day, refuses to let a customer leave without a fight, and makes everyone around you better — we want to talk to you this week.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Walk in every day with energy that sets the tone for the entire team

• Lead from the floor — closing deals personally every single day alongside your team

• Coach salespeople through live customer interactions in real time

• Drive traffic through Facebook Marketplace, social media, and promotional campaigns

• Build and execute a monthly marketing calendar that fills the store

• Run a follow-up system where no lead is ever abandoned or forgotten

• Ensure every customer speaks to management before leaving — no exceptions

• Present consumer financing on every transaction

• Run daily morning huddles with role play, objection handling, and accountability

• Manage every salesperson's lead pipeline daily

• Capture every customer's contact information

• Report daily results to ownership every evening

• Help build the systems and culture needed to expand into new markets

WHO YOU ARE

• High energy — you walk in and the whole floor shifts

• A roll-up-your-sleeves leader — no job is beneath you, no customer is someone else's problem

• A strong closer — you do not let maybes walk out the door

• A proven traffic driver — social media, Marketplace, and promotions that actually bring people in

• A systems builder — follow-up cadences, lead logs, and daily accountability that produce results

• A coach — your team gets better every week because of you

• Growth minded — excited by the idea of helping build something beyond one location

• 3+ years of retail sales leadership with documented revenue results

• Expert at consumer financing — you present it, close with it, and train your team on it

• Motivated by commission and results — not a guaranteed paycheck

• Available weekends without exception

• You respond to leads within minutes — not hours

• The store runs better every single day you are there

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive base salary paid bi-weekly

• Uncapped commission on personal sales

• Monthly store performance bonus

• Growth accelerator bonuses for hitting revenue milestones

• A company that is actively expanding into new markets — real growth opportunity

• Direct access to ownership — no corporate red tape

• The strongest lead pipeline and customer traffic in our company's history

• Employee discount on all merchandise

• Top performers earn $80,000 to $100,000+ per year

STRONG PREFERENCE FOR CANDIDATES FROM

Furniture, appliance, mattress, flooring, or home improvement retail. Car sales and high-volume commission retail backgrounds also considered. No rent-to-own experience.

HOW TO APPLY

Answer these three questions to be considered:

1. Describe a time you walked into an underperforming sales environment and turned it around. What specifically did you do and what were the results?

2. How do you personally drive customer traffic into a store? Give me a specific example of something you did that worked.

3. A customer is heading for the door without buying. What do you do in that exact moment?

Applications without answers to all three questions will not be considered.

We move fast. We are expanding. If you have the energy, the drive, and the track record — apply now.
