Outside Sales Representative - Hospitality Industry

Territory: Southwest Chicago

About the role

Help Auto-Chlor grow across Southwest Chicago. One cold call, one handshake, and one signed agreement at a time. This is a true outside sales role for someone who thrives on activity, competition, and ownership. You’ll spend your days in the field, face-to-face with decision-makers, building a territory that reflects your effort and discipline. If you like momentum, autonomy, and earning what you’re worth, this role delivers.

Many of our top performers came from kitchens, bars, hotels, catering, or restaurant management. If you understand hospitality operations and how busy operators think, you already have a strong advantage. We’ll teach you the product, the process, and how to win consistently. Here’s the key: experience is not required, work ethic is. Attitude is, and activity is. We will teach you the rest.

• Partner with service and installation teams to ensure new accounts launch successfully
