The job

What you'd do
Sell glass and aluminum building materials to glass installers and manufacturers across six Midwest states, winning new customers and selling more to current ones. You'll find many of your own new customers.
What you'd sell

Cuts and delivers glass and storefront metal to contractors

When a glazing shop takes on a building job, it needs glass cut and treated to exact sizes before the crew can install anything. The problem is, if the pieces come back wrong or late, the crew sits idle and the job falls behind. Quality Glass & Mirror cuts, toughens, laminates, and insulates glass in its own Omaha shop and delivers it on its own routes, so the crew gets the right pieces on time.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

  1. 1.

    What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?

    OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.

  2. 2.

    What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  3. 3.

    Has the comp plan changed in the last 12 to 18 months? What changed?

    A plan that changes every year means the goalposts keep moving.

  4. 4.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

    Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.

  5. 5.

    What are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

› When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?

    What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.

  2. 2.

    Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?

    The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.

  3. 3.

    I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?

    Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.

Full posting
Quality Glass and Mirror Service is a glass fabricator and aluminum distributor serving glazing contractors and manufacturers across a six-state Midwest territory from our headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. We're growing from a local fabricator into a regional one, and this role is a big part of that. Our name is our reputation, and we take Quality seriously. Your primary objective is to grow revenue at healthy margins. That means winning new accounts, growing our share with the customers we already have, and staying close enough to them to know what they're bidding and why we win or lose. Key Responsibilities: - Own a territory of new and existing accounts through regular customer visits, prospecting, and quoting. - Follow up on every quote. Know whether it was won or lost and why (price, lead time, spec, or relationship), and bring that back to the team. - Work with estimating, customer service, and production to get customers accurate, timely quotes and orders that ship complete and on time. - Sell on value (quality, on-time delivery, and service), not just price. Educate customers on our tempered, insulating, laminated, and specialty glass products, along with aluminum storefront materials. - Keep Salesforce current on every prospect, quote, and account. If it isn't in Salesforce, it didn't happen. - Prospect persistently. Find the glazing contractors and manufacturers who aren't buying from us, or aren't buying enough, and get on their bid lists. - Help customers on larger bids with takeoffs and dialed-in pricing so we're the fabricator they call first. - Stay current on industry trends, competitors, and project activity in your territory. Requirements Background and Experience Required: - 2+ years of outside sales and/or estimating experience in architectural glass, glazing, or a related building products industry. Glass experience strongly preferred. - A track record of growing a territory or book of business, and the ability to tell us specifically how you did it. - Working knowledge of glass products (or the ability to learn quickly) and to explain technical details to customers. Ability to read architectural drawings and specs is a plus. - Experience with Salesforce or a similar CRM, and proficiency with Microsoft Office. - Attention to detail with customer-specific pricing and quoting. - A self-starter with real follow-through who manages their own time and territory with minimal supervision. - Positive attitude and team player, motivated to achieve top-tier results. - Valid driver's license, ability to travel overnight, and authorization to work in the United States. Schedule: - This is a full-time, field-based role. Expect to be in front of customers multiple days per week. - Regular overnight travel is required. Expect roughly 20-40% of your time outside your home metro area, depending on where you're based. Benefits We offer competitive compensation, including base salary, commission on territory growth, and new-customer incentives, plus the benefits below. We're investing in growth across the Midwest, and strong performers will have room to grow into larger roles. Benefits: - Health Insurance - Dental Insurance - Vision Insurance (optional) - Life Insurance - 401k with company match up to 4% - Paid Time Off - Employee discounts - Accident Insurance (optional)
