Description
Are you eager to begin a career in sales in the Lowcountry?
Southern Lumber is an 85 year-old family owned and operated business that supplies building materials, windows and doors, and custom millwork to home builders around Charleston.
We are growing and looking for an eager to learn, detail oriented, hard working individuals to join our inside sales trainee program! You will learn about our products and operations while helping customers with their orders as a specialty sales representative, counter sales, or sales coordinator. In our program, you will gain experience in multiple departments to understand how the company works as a whole and discover which department you would thrive in long-term.
Front counter sales representatives help walk-in customers (mostly homeowners) who need to place special item orders with vendors of products we don't have readily available on the yard. You will work with customers, vendors, and our internal receiving department, shipping team, and millwork shop.
Retail sales representatives help walk-in customers (mostly contractors) who are more familiar with our stocked products. You will create tickets, accept payments, process returns, and set up deliveries.
Both of these roles often lead to a coordinator position. Coordinators assist our outside sales representatives in placing orders for builders. In all of these opportunities, you will be building skills to create a strong sales career with Southern Lumber.
