Learn Sales, Territory Management, and Small Business Operations

Perfect for recent graduates, former athletes, or anyone early in their career who wants to learn sales and business development.

At Surface Experts of Bethesda, we’re building a small, fast‑growing service business that helps apartment communities repair damage to things like countertops, cabinets, tubs, and floors—without replacing them.

This role is not a call‑center sales job. You’ll be out in the field building relationships with property managers, learning how service businesses grow, and seeing how sales, operations, and customer service work together.

Think of it as a paid apprenticeship in business development.

If you’re curious, hardworking, and coachable, we will teach you everything else.

In this role you will develop skills that translate into almost any future career:

• Professional sales and relationship building
• Customer discovery and asking great questions
• Territory management and route planning
• Negotiation and problem solving
• Small‑business operations
• Personal accountability and performance management

Many people spend years trying to learn these skills in an office. You will learn them in the field, quickly, with direct coaching.

Each day you will visit 12–15 apartment communities in Montgomery County and introduce our repair services to maintenance managers.

Your goal is to:

• Build relationships with property managers and maintenance teams
• Walk vacant units to identify repair opportunities
• Schedule repairs for our technician team
• Follow up with customers and ensure great service

You’ll spend most of your day out meeting people, not sitting behind a desk.

You manage your own route and schedule.

You directly impact the growth of the business.

You will work closely with the owner and receive weekly coaching.

You’ll be part of a tight‑knit team where your ideas matter.

Business hours only.

This is a great opportunity for someone who:

• Recently graduated from college
• Played sports or worked in restaurants/hospitality
• Is curious about business or entrepreneurship
• Wants to learn sales and customer leadership
• Enjoys meeting people face‑to‑face

No prior sales experience required.

We will train the right person.

We care more about attributes than experience.

You might be a great fit if you are:

• Coachable – You want feedback and actively work to improve.
• Curious – You enjoy asking questions and learning how things work.
• Accountable – You take ownership of results and follow through.
• Energetic – You enjoy being out in the field meeting people.

• Base salary + commission + performance bonuses
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Healthcare / wellness stipend
• Mileage reimbursement
• Phone stipend

Top performers in this role develop skills that lead to future opportunities in sales, operations, or business leadership.
