Residential Cabinet Sales & Design Manager

Remmert & Company•Tuscaloosa, AL

About The Position

The Residential Cabinet Sales & Design Manager is responsible for driving residential sales growth while overseeing cabinetry design, pricing, scheduling, and installation. This role blends relationship-based selling, design coordination, and project execution to deliver profitable, on-time projects and an exceptional customer experience. The focus of this job is making connections with people, motivating and inspiring them to achieve their goals and results. Poise and an engaging, empathetic communication style based on natural warmth and enthusiasm are the keys to achieving the objectives of this job. The work involves driving toward results by enrolling the commitment and buy-in of others. While the job requires strong initiative and self-direction, results are only achieved with and through people. A sincere appreciation for people and how they are each uniquely motivated is the foundation for designing and implementing interactive communication and decision-making processes. Knowledge and skill in successfully influencing and persuading others are essential, as understanding how their individual needs and motivations relate to their goals is crucial. The job requires a high degree of “selling”, whether of ideas and policies within the organization, or products or services in the marketplace. The job environment is fast-paced and results-oriented. While there is an urgency to achieving goals, responsibility for achieving results needs to be shared and effectively delegated when necessary. Initiating projects and processes beyond established organizational practices will often require training and developing others, as well as enlisting their support by using a “selling” rather than “telling” communication style. A self-assured, extroverted style that can enliven, engage, and have a positive impact on individuals and groups is essential. The job has a variety of tasks and is dynamic and changing. Because goals and desired results can quickly change, the job requires regularly meeting and proactively establishing relationships with new groups. The ability to understand, quickly react, and motivate others to adapt to the changing organizational environment is a critical key to success. In general, the core of this position requires a motivated and motivating team builder and organization developer.
