Job Description
Vander Haag's is a respected, family-owned company that has established itself as a leader in the truck and equipment sales industry across the Midwest and beyond. With a strong focus on developing people from within, Vander Haag's offers long-term career opportunities where dedicated team members can grow into leadership and specialized roles. The company prides itself on maintaining a supportive work environment that focuses on relationship-building, customer service, and continuous learning, ensuring employees have the resources and training needed to succeed and advance professionally.
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. As the individual's expertise and confidence grow, the role transitions into a full-time sales position where they will handle their own customer accounts, manage inventory, and identify new sales opportunities.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys interacting with people, building meaningful relationships, and solving customer problems. No prior experience in truck sales is required as Vander Haag's provides extensive training and support to help new employees understand truck specifications, financing options, trade evaluations, and inventory management. The company values self-motivated candidates who are comfortable making outbound calls, organized, and willing to learn an entirely new industry.
The working hours are Monday through Friday, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with no evenings, weekends, or holidays required, making it a balanced career choice for those seeking stability. 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. If you are looking for a career rather than just a job and want to enter a dynamic sales environment in the truck and equipment industry, Vander Haag's Whole Unit Sales team in Des Moines is an excellent place to start and thrive.
