Viwinco Windows•St. Louis, MO

About The Position

Viwinco is a leading manufacturer of high-performance vinyl windows and patio doors serving professional building material dealers, distributors, contractors, remodelers, builders, and homeowners throughout the Eastern United States. At Viwinco, our sales team does more than sell windows. We partner with our customers to help them grow their businesses, develop new opportunities, solve problems, and win in their local markets. We are looking for a motivated, competitive, relationship-driven sales professional to join our team as a Sales Representative for our Mid-West territory. We are in search of an experienced Sales Representative to be responsible for managing, developing, and growing our new Mid-West territory by strengthening existing customer relationships, building partnerships with in-home remodeling companies, and aggressively pursuing new business opportunities. This position requires a salesperson who is comfortable working throughout the entire sales cycle—from identifying prospects and presenting Viwinco products to supporting dealers, contractors, builders, remodelers, architects, and other industry professionals after the sale. Experience in in-home sales or selling to in-home remodeling companies is strongly preferred. Success will be measured not simply by maintaining existing business, but by the representative’s ability to increase market share, develop new accounts, expand product penetration, and consistently grow territory revenue.
