Contractor Sales Representative
Wood Shed Lumber & Hardware Supply
Pay based on experience
Contractors need more than someone to take an order. They need a sales representative who understands what they’re building, catches details before they become problems, and follows through from the first quote to the final delivery.
Wood Shed Lumber & Hardware Supply is looking for an experienced Contractor Sales Representative to develop lasting relationships with builders and contractors in our area. You’ll earn their business by knowing your products, providing accurate quotes, staying involved in their projects, and being someone they can count on when plans change.
This role calls for initiative and good judgment. You’ll manage your customer relationships, work closely with our inside sales and store teams, and take responsibility for the service you provide.
What you’ll do
- Build relationships with new contractors and strengthen existing accounts
- Meet with customers and visit job sites to understand upcoming projects
- Review plans, prepare or assist with material takeoffs, and develop accurate quotes
- Recommend products and solutions that fit the project and the customer’s needs
- Follow up on quotes, orders, deliveries, and customer questions
- Coordinate with inside sales, yard, and delivery teams to keep projects moving
- Maintain customer and sales records and work toward sales goals
- Resolve issues promptly and keep customers informed
What you’ll bring
Relevant experience is important for this position. We’re looking for someone with a background in contractor sales, lumber and building materials, residential construction, or a closely related field.
You should be comfortable discussing how a project comes together, reading plans or working from material lists, and explaining products to people who use them every day. Just as important, you need the organization to manage multiple projects and the follow-through to keep your word.
Experience preparing quotes and material takeoffs is strongly preferred. Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to build lasting customer relationships are essential.
Why Wood Shed?
Wood Shed is a locally owned business where relationships matter. This is an opportunity to build a customer base, put your industry knowledge to work, and grow a long-term career with a team that supports the customers you serve.
If you know the building industry and want to be the person contractors call first, we’d like to meet you. Apply today.
Welcome to Wood Shed Lumber & Hardware Supply
Carrollton, Missouri has had a locally-family owned lumber and hardware store for over 67 years. The tradition continues with the Eiserer family purchasing Warren Lumber Yard in June 2016 and operating the business as WOOD SHED Lumber & Hardware Supply – Do It Best.
We aim to provide the best electrical, plumbing, hardware, fasteners, hand and power tools, automotive, paint and sundries, gift and décor, gas and pellet grills, lumber and building materials. We don’t stop there, we help find solutions to help customers build, maintain, and entertain where they live and to impact and grow the communities we serve.
We offer over 67,000 items through our warehouse that can be shipped to your door, or to our store! Other services provided are UPS shipping and drop off location, key cutting, glass cutting, propane refills and delivery.
Growing Our Roots
The WOOD SHED Lumber & Hardware Supply has teamed up as a business partner with the local elementary classroom. The children and the team enjoy the classroom visits by sharing a great story and conversation. These amazing children bless us beyond measures by showering us with thoughtful thank you cards and artwork. We love being in the classroom!
The Eiserer Family
It's all hands on deck in the store or in the community. Our little family grew to five just after purchasing the business and couldn't be more excited to learn and grow together. For years Porter, Cecily and Novah assist in the family business by sharing our story on KMZU and KRLI radio, putting up the truck orders, and assisting customers. In 2021 the Eiserer family grew to six with a second son, Marlo.
Our Customers are the Best Customers
The WOOD SHED team enjoys entertaining our customers every chance we can. Fish Fry, Chilli & Cinnamon Rolls, Traeger grilled chicken, deer, or brisket. You never know when the Traeger grill just might be smokin'.
Without our customers, our growth as a business wouldn't be possible: thank you!
In 2021, Wood Shed expanded to Richmond and Concordia, MO with the purchase of the Derstler Lumber businesses. The growth allows for more opportunities of growth for its employees. It also opened the business up for better buying opportunities which helps better serve the communities.
In 2023, Wood Shed will be expanding to Cameron and Warrensburg, MO. The need to find more like minded home improvement folks to help serve our customers has arrived. What is it you are looking for in your next career move, because we believe we've got a good thing going on over at Wood Shed.
