ENTRY LEVEL ROLE: Jump start an entrepreneurial, growth oriented sales career with Makita!

Your friends are eager to jump-start their careers surrounded by office politics and florescent lighting, but not you. You've got bigger plans in store. You're a "go-getter" with the motivation, passion, and confidence to drive your own success.

This is the opportunity for you. . .

As Retail Sales Representative for Makita power tools, you'll take a "soft" sales approach to interface with and educate the people who sell, buy, and use our products. With energy, creativity, and tremendous people skills, you'll build strong working relationships as you take part in exciting events and help maintain Makita's solid reputation as the innovative power tool manufacturer of choice.

This opportunity is for our greater Atlanta territory. . .

What's In It For You?

Personal autonomy & flexibility - in this position you will not be tied to the structured plans and pace devices that most of our competition use to regulate their sales staff's activities and manage stock supplies at the stores. Because the home centers have taken over much of this responsibility for us, you'll enjoy the liberty to set your own routine and provide your territory with the services you deem appropriate for their individual needs and sales goals.

Association with a great company - visit any construction site, and you're sure to encounter a variety of Makita tools. Our quality and performance has earned us a strongly respected reputation within the contractor community. This reputation has grown consistently over the past 85 years and is certain to endure for many years to come as we continue to lead the industry with the introduction of high quality, innovative tools.

Career growth - many on the Makita team had their beginnings in this entry-level position and continued to develop their careers within the organization. You, too, can position yourself to grow from this role within your first two years into a number of opportunities, including Sales Support Manager, Product Specialist, or Industrial/Commercial Sales Representative.

Excellent benefits - in addition to a competitive base salary and bonus plan, you will enjoy the use of a company vehicle, expense reimbursement, and an excellent benefits package that includes medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401K and profit sharing, vacation time, and tuition reimbursement

If you have superior oral and written communication skills, excellent organizational and time management skills, strong computer skills (including the Microsoft Office Suite of programs). an entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to travel locally, we encourage you to read more and submit your resume online!
