About This Outside Sales Role in St. Louis

We are a leading St. Louis staffing firm that has been serving the local business community for over 30 years. We are looking for a driven professional to join our team as an Outside Sales Representative. This is a permanent, internal position working directly for our franchise—not a temporary assignment or client placement. You will be hunting new B2B accounts across the city.

Your sales territory is strictly the City of St. Louis (not the county). You will be on the road every day, driving targeted routes, walking into businesses, and meeting local decision-makers face-to-face. If you prefer sitting at a desk managing existing accounts and sending emails, this is not the right fit.

This is a pure business development role where you build from the ground up. There is no existing book to coast on and no warm leads handed to you. You find the prospects, get in the door, and close the deal.

No prior B2B sales background required. We provide full, paid sales training. What we cannot teach is the internal drive to make cold calls, knock on doors, and build relationships in person.

Compensation & Incentives

• Base Salary: $45,000 to $50,000 annually

• Uncapped Commission: Top performers clear $65,000+ in their first year

• Performance Rewards: Annual Caribbean trip incentive for top sales achievers

What the Job Looks Like Day to Day

• Field Prospecting: Complete 100 face-to-face drop-ins per week across your assigned St. Louis City territory.

• Setting Meetings: Schedule and hold 10 to 15 formal sales appointments each week.

• Decision-Maker Engagement: Conduct 70 quality conversations per week with business owners, hiring managers, and HR leads.

• Closing Business: Onboard and close 1 to 2 new client accounts per week by day 90.

What We Are Looking For

• Drive & Grit: Hungry, organized, and confident building rapport with diverse business leaders.

• Strong Presence: Exceptional interpersonal communication skills—better in person than on paper.

• Mobility: Reliable personal vehicle, valid driver's license, and comfort driving throughout St. Louis City daily.

• Self-Motivated: Ability to manage your time, route planning, and daily activity independently.

Benefits

• Health insurance, Paid Time Off (PTO), and 401(k) retirement plan

• Comprehensive B2B sales training and ongoing executive coaching

• A supportive internal team environment that wants you to succeed
