Sales Representative
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions and duplicated lines.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "Join a collaborative sales team at one of the largest signage distributors in North America and help grow our Portland market. You'll be the go-to person helping cities, contractors, and businesses get the essential products they need to operate. This is a hybrid role focused on phone-based selling with some in-person relationship building, all team-oriented. You'll work alongside teammates who share goals and wins together, with a mix of inside selling, customer visits, and consultative problem-solving."
- Then "Job Description" heading (but we should not repeat job title; we can treat as "About the role" maybe). The description after: "You'll spend your days on the phone and occasionally in person, helping contractors, cities, and businesses across the Portland metro get the sign and print supplies they can't run without. No cold-calling into the void — you're building a territory, and your team wins together, not against each other. This isn't a sink-or-swim commission gig. You get a base salary, a team that shares leads and strategy, and a company that's been doing this for 150 years and knows how to train people right."
- Then "What a week actually looks like" bullet list: Working the phones to grow existing accounts and open new ones; A handful of in-person visits to contractors and businesses in your territory (mileage covered); Product demos when a customer needs to see it to believe it; Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with teammates who are hitting the same goals you are — sharing what's working, not guarding it.
- Then "Qualifications" heading: "What you bring 0–3 years in sales, customer service, or another customer-facing roleYou pick up the phone. You're not afraid of a "no," and you know how to build rapport fastYou want to be part of a team, not a lone wolfValid driver's license and reliable vehicle (we reimburse the mileage)No sign or print industry experience needed. We'll teach you the product. What we can't teach is grit and the ability to build trust quickly."
- Then "What we bring" heading: "Base salary + commission — you're not surviving on commission aloneFull medical, dental, vision — premiums haven't gone up in 16+ years401(k) with profit sharing — 6% of total compensationA paid trip to St. Louis HQ for hands-on training — product knowledge, systems, sales strategy, shadowing real reps across departments. Travel's on us. Paid parental leave, holidays, PTO rollover, and volunteer time offReal room to grow — we promote from within and build careers, not just fill territories"
- Then "Additional Information" includes training details: "TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT SALES ORIENTATION –SAINT LOUIS, MO: · Opportunity to attend Grimco’s Training & Development Sales Orientation in Saint Louis, Missouri. · Focused training time consisting of a mix of one-on-one training, virtual training, and shadowing. · Training focuses on Grimco’s products, computer systems, phones/customers, sales/service, purchasing, logistics, web store, marketing, safety, accounting, human resources, and reports. · Split between break-out sessions and hands-on learning environment. · Rotation within departments for a diverse look at how employees approach tasks and achieve goals. · Full-time salary includes training period. Travel accommodations and expenses provided per Grimco National Travel Policy. Training location determined by corporate/regional training team schedule."
- Then company description: "We're one of the largest sign and print supply distributors in North America. 65+ locations, still family-owned after 150 years. You get the stability of an established company with the feel of a place where people actually know your name."
- Then "Interested? Learn more at https://connect.grimco.com/careers" (application instruction? maybe we should drop as it's application instruction). Also the legal boilerplate after that: "By completing this online application for employment, you certify..." etc. Should be removed.
Thus we need to extract substantive content and format into sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role (or maybe "Overview") containing intro paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: could be the "What a week actually looks like" list.
- Qualifications: the "What you bring" list.
- Benefits: the "What we bring" list (including base salary + commission, medical, dental, vision, 401k, paid trip, parental leave, holidays, PTO rollover, volunteer time off, growth opportunities). Also maybe Pay section? The posting mentions base salary + commission but not specific numbers. The rule: do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state base salary + commission (Pay) and benefits. So we could have a Pay section (base salary + commission) and Benefits section (medical, dental, vision, 401k, paid trip, parental leave, holidays, PTO rollover, volunteer time off). However the rule says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into a "Compensation & Benefits" section? But headings are prescribed: we can use for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. If we combine, we might lose specificity. But we can still have both Pay and Benefits sections if they have content. The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both Pay and Benefits may be okay if each has substantive content. Pay: base salary + commission (no numbers). Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401k profit sharing, paid trip, parental leave, holidays, PTO rollover, volunteer time off, growth opportunities. That's substantive.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; hybrid role, phone-based selling with some in-person relationship building. Could infer schedule but not explicitly stated. The rule: do NOT create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state specific schedule (e.g., full-time, hours). So we should not include Schedule.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed; we could infer but not explicit. Better not to create Skills unless explicit.
- Responsibilities: we have the week list.
- Qualifications: we have.
- About the role: we have intro.
- Additional Information: training details could be part of Benefits or maybe a separate "Training & Development" section but not in prescribed headings. Could fold into Benefits or About the role. Probably include as part of Benefits or maybe a separate section "Training" but not allowed headings. So we can incorporate training details into Benefits or maybe a separate "Benefits" includes training trip.
Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Qualifications (h3), Pay (h3), Benefits (h3). Ensure we don't repeat job title.
Now we need to format lists using - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract exact phrasing.
Intro paragraphs:
"Join a collaborative sales team at one of the largest signage distributors in North America and help grow our Portland market. You'll be the go-to person helping cities, contractors, and businesses get the essential products they need to operate. This is a hybrid role focused on phone-based selling with some in-person relationship building, all team-oriented. You'll work alongside teammates who share goals and wins together, with a mix of inside selling, customer visits, and consultative problem-solving."
Second paragraph (under Job Description): "You'll spend your days on the phone and occasionally in person, helping contractors, cities, and businesses across the Portland metro get the sign and print supplies they can't run without. No cold-calling into the void — you're building a territory, and your team wins together, not against each other. This isn't a sink-or-swim commission gig. You get a base salary, a team that shares leads and strategy, and a company that's been doing this for 150 years and knows how to train people right."
We could combine these into About the role section as prose (maybe two paragraphs).
Responsibilities: "What a week actually looks like" list items:
- Working the phones to grow existing accounts and open new ones
- A handful of in-person visits to contractors and businesses in your territory (mileage covered)
- Product demos when a customer needs to see it to believe it
- Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with teammates who are hitting the same goals you are — sharing what's working, not guarding it
We need to preserve exact phrasing.
Qualifications: "What you bring" list:
- 0–3 years in sales, customer service, or another customer-facing role
- You pick up the phone. You're not afraid of a "no," and you know how to build rapport fast
- You want to be part of a team, not a lone wolf
- Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle (we reimburse the mileage)
- No sign or print industry experience needed. We'll teach you the product.
- What we can't teach is grit and the ability to build trust quickly.
Note the original text had no punctuation between some sentences; we need to preserve as is but we can format as list items. The original: "What you bring 0–3 years in sales, customer service, or another customer-facing roleYou pick up the phone. You're not afraid of a "no," and you know how to build rapport fastYou want to be part of a team, not a lone wolfValid driver's license and reliable vehicle (we reimburse the mileage)No sign or print industry experience needed. We'll teach you the product. What we can't teach is grit and the ability to build trust quickly."
We need to split logically. We'll create list items:
- 0–3 years in sales, customer service, or another customer-facing role
- You pick up the phone. You're not afraid of a "no," and you know how to build rapport fast
- You want to be part of a team, not a lone wolf
- Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle (we reimburse the mileage)
- No sign or print industry experience needed. We'll teach you the product.
- What we can't teach is grit and the ability to build trust quickly.
That seems fine.
Pay: "Base salary + commission — you're not surviving on commission alone"
We could phrase as: Base salary + commission — you're not surviving on commission alone.
Benefits: list items:
- Full medical, dental, vision — premiums haven't gone up in 16+ years
- 401(k) with profit sharing — 6% of total compensation
- A paid trip to St. Louis HQ for hands-on training — product knowledge, systems, sales strategy, shadowing real reps across departments. Travel's on us.
- Paid parental leave, holidays, PTO rollover, and volunteer time off
- Real room to grow — we promote from within and build careers, not just fill territories
Also training details from Additional Information could be included under Benefits or maybe as part of Benefits (training trip already covered). The Additional Information includes more detail about training orientation: we could incorporate that into Benefits as part of training details. But we already have a paid trip to St. Louis HQ for hands-on training. The Additional Information gives more detail: Opportunity to attend Grimco’s Training & Development Sales Orientation in Saint Louis, Missouri. Focused training time consisting of a mix of one-on-one training, virtual training, and shadowing.
