Sales Representative - Facility Services
or drop it." So I'll put the requisition number and other metadata in a short paragraph at the beginning or end. The instructions: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose."
"Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail."
"Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions."
"IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them."
The posting does state Pay (Salary + Monthly Commission), Schedule (Full Time, 1st Shift, and specific office hours), Benefits (two sections: What We Offer and Benefits). So I should include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections.
But note: "What We Offer" includes salary, car package, training, recognition, career advancement. That's essentially compensation and benefits. Then there's a separate "Benefits" section with medical, dental, vision, 401k, etc. I could combine them under a Benefits heading, but the posting has two distinct sections. I'll keep them separate: maybe "Compensation & Perks" for What We Offer, and "Benefits" for the benefits section. However the instructions say use headings like "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". I'll use "Pay" for the salary/commission part, "Benefits" for the benefits section, and maybe "Perks" for car package, training, recognition? But the instructions prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. I'll combine "What We Offer" into a "Compensation & Benefits" section? But there's a separate Benefits section. Let's see: The "What We Offer" includes: Salary + Monthly Commission, Extensive Car Package, Hands-on Training Program & Certification, Monthly, Quarterly, & Annual Recognition, Limitless Career Advancement & Mentorship Opportunities. The "Benefits" section includes: medical, dental, vision, 401k, disability, life insurance, PTO, holidays, skills development. These are distinct. I'll create two sections: "Compensation & Perks" (or "What We Offer") and "Benefits". But the instructions say use standard headings like "Benefits", "Pay". I'll use "Pay" for the salary/commission, and "Benefits" for the benefits section, and maybe include car package, training, recognition, career advancement under "Benefits" as well? However the posting separates them. I think it's okay to have a "What We Offer" section as a heading, but the instructions say use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those. I'll use "Compensation & Perks" for the What We Offer, and "Benefits" for the benefits section. But to follow the suggested headings, I'll use "Pay" for the salary/commission part, and "Benefits" for the rest. However the car package, training, recognition, career advancement are not exactly "Pay". They are perks. I'll create a "Perks & Development" section? But the instructions say prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. I'll combine all of "What We Offer" into a "Compensation & Perks" section, and the "Benefits" section into "Benefits". That's two sections.
Now, the "A Successful Candidate In This Role Will" list - these are behavioral traits. Could be under "Qualifications" or "Requirements". The "Skills/Qualifications Required" and "Preferred" are clearly requirements. I'll create a "Requirements" section with required and preferred sub-lists.
The "Responsibilities" section: the two paragraphs describe duties. I'll convert them into a list.
The introductory paragraphs about Cintas and the role: that's "About the Role".
Company Information: the paragraph about Cintas Corporation. That's "About the Company". But the instructions don't mention that heading. However it's substantive content. I'll include it as "About the Company".
Metadata: Requisition Number, Job Category, Organization, Employee Status, Schedule, Shift. I'll put them in a short paragraph at the end or beginning. Since the page already shows job title, I'll not repeat title. I'll include a paragraph with the metadata.
Now, let's structure:
- About the Role (intro paragraphs)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (required and preferred)
- Compensation & Perks (What We Offer)
- Benefits (Benefits section)
- About the Company (company description)
- Metadata (short paragraph)
But the instructions say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states Pay (Salary + Monthly Commission), Schedule (Full Time, 1st Shift, and specific office hours), Benefits (two sections). So I should create Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. However the "What We Offer" includes more than pay. I'll create a "Pay" section for the salary/commission, and a "Schedule" section for the schedule details, and a "Benefits" section for the benefits. The car package, training, recognition, career advancement could be under "Benefits" or "Perks". I'll include them under "Benefits" as additional perks. But the posting has a separate "Benefits" heading. I'll keep the "Benefits" heading for the benefits section, and create a "Pay" section for the salary/commission, and a "Schedule" section for the schedule. The car package, training, recognition, career advancement are under "What We Offer". I'll create a "Perks & Development" section? But that might be too many thin sections. The instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I'll combine "What We Offer" into a "Compensation & Perks" section, and the "Benefits" section into "Benefits". But then I'm not using "Pay" and "Schedule" headings. However the instructions say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's not mandatory to use those exact headings, but they are examples. I think it's okay to have "Compensation & Perks" and "Benefits". But the posting explicitly has "What We Offer" and "Benefits". I'll use those as headings? The instructions say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say I cannot use other headings. I'll use "What We Offer" and "Benefits" as headings, but they are not in the example list. However the example list includes "Benefits". "What We Offer" is similar to "Pay" and "Benefits". I'll use "Compensation & Perks" for "What We Offer" and "Benefits" for "Benefits". That seems reasonable.
Let's decide on sections:
1. About the Role
2. Responsibilities
3. Requirements (with Required and Preferred subsections)
4. Compensation & Perks (What We Offer)
5. Benefits
6. About the Company
7. Metadata (short paragraph)
Now, I need to convert prose to lists where appropriate.
- Responsibilities: The text: "In this business-to-business (B2B) sales role, you will apply the learnings from the Cintas Sales Training Program. This includes putting into practice valuable skills in cold-calling, in-person sales, product demonstrations, negotiations, objection-handling, and closing. As an Outside Sales team member, you will be responsible for prospecting, developing, and qualifying leads within your respective territory. You will utilize our CRM to identify, prospect, close new business and consistently achieve weekly sales goals and quotas."
I'll break into list items:
- Apply learnings from Cintas Sales Training Program, including cold-calling, in-person sales, product demonstrations, negotiations, objection-handling, and closing
- Prospect, develop, and qualify leads within assigned territory
- Utilize CRM to identify, prospect, and close new business
- Consistently achieve weekly sales goals and quotas
- Requirements: "A Successful Candidate In This Role Will" list (behavioral traits). Then "Skills/Qualifications Required:" list. Then "Preferred" list.
I'll create a "Requirements" section with two sub-lists: "Required" and "Preferred". The behavioral traits could be under "Required" as well, but they are more like competencies. I'll include them as part of required qualifications.
The "Skills/Qualifications Required:" list:
- High School diploma or GED
- Valid driver’s license
- Ability to spend the majority of the work week meeting prospective customers in the field, including daily travel by car within the assigned local territory
- Ability to work from the assigned Cintas office on Monday and Wednesday from 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., in addition to field sales activities
- Proficiency with MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), intranet/internet and Contact Management System (CMS)
Preferred:
- Bachelor’s Degree (or equivalent) in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field
- Prior sales experience (1 year+), preferably in a similar role
- Prior new business-to-business (B2B) sales experience
The behavioral traits: "competitive, self-motivated, and disciplined; strives to exceed all weekly, quarterly, and annual goals and expectations", etc. I'll include them as bullet points under "Required Competencies" or just part of required.
I'll structure Requirements as:
Requirements
Required
... (behavioral traits and required qualifications)
Preferred
... (preferred qualifications)
But the instructions say use for section headings.
