Located in Des Moines, IA, Vander Haag's is currently seeking a motivated and relationship-focused individual to join their Whole Unit Sales team. This role is well-suited to individuals who are eager to start a career in sales without having to wait for years to build experience. The position begins with managing inbound sales leads, prospecting new customers, and gaining valuable industry knowledge about trucks and equipment.

Compensation includes a base salary in the range of $60,000 to $70,000 per year during the training period, with a guaranteed commission paid bi-weekly. Once the employee transitions into the full sales role, they become eligible for an uncapped sales commission program that offers substantial earning potential based directly on performance.

In addition to competitive pay, Vander Haag's provides a generous benefits package that supports employee well-being, including multiple health and dental insurance plans, a 401(k) plan with company match, health savings accounts, paid time off, maternity and paternity leave, and employee appreciation events. The company fosters a positive culture with ongoing training and career development opportunities to help employees grow professionally and achieve their career goals.

Joining Vander Haag's means becoming part of a committed team that values your growth, offers job security, and rewards your efforts with uncapped income potential.
