Job Description

TDS Telecom is a leading telecommunications company dedicated to providing high-speed internet, TV entertainment, and phone services to a wide range of communities across the United States. With over 50 years of experience, TDS Telecom focuses on delivering innovative fiber optic network solutions to small to mid-sized urban, suburban, and rural areas, connecting over 1 million customers nationwide. Their commitment to building and expanding cutting-edge connectivity infrastructure plays a pivotal role in enhancing how people live, work, and communicate. TDS Telecom is renowned for its dedication to customer service, community presence, and technological advancement, making it a trusted provider in the telecommunications industry.

Currently, TDS Telecom is seeking experienced and motivated Senior Direct Sales Representatives to join their expanding team. This role goes beyond traditional door-to-door selling; representatives become trusted advisors and community leaders, introducing homeowners to state-of-the-art fiber internet, TV, and phone services designed to transform everyday living. The position is perfect for individuals with at least one year of door-to-door sales experience who are ready to elevate their careers, earn an impressive income, and benefit from a flexible work schedule.

As a Senior Direct Sales Representative, you will own your territory by engaging with 60 or more homeowners daily, generating meaningful conversations and driving sales that upgrade families to faster, more reliable internet and other premium services. The role combines professionalism, enthusiasm, and expertise to position TDS as the go-to resource for residential communications services in your community. You will experience a hybrid working model with 20 to 25 percent of your administrative duties completed from home, allowing for greater flexibility and work-life balance.

This opportunity offers unlimited earning potential, including a base salary and uncapped commissions, enabling high achievers to surpass $100,000 annually. The work schedule is designed to fit your lifestyle, with a 40-hour week from 9 AM to 9 PM, Monday through Saturday. Additional perks include a monthly gas/mileage stipend, phone allowance, ramp-up payments during the first two months, exclusive rewards such as all-expenses-paid tropical vacations for top performers, and discounted TDS services.

TDS Telecom also provides a comprehensive benefits package from day one, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, life insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid vacation and sick leave, parental leave, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and wellness programs. Associates working 30 or more hours weekly gain access to additional benefits like short-term and long-term disability coverage, education assistance, paid volunteer time, and service discounts.

At TDS, an inclusive work environment is fostered where diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are deeply valued. The company proudly supports equal employment opportunity and encourages all qualified individuals to apply, whether or not they meet every qualification listed. This role is ideal for sales professionals looking to make a real impact, control their careers, and grow with a reputable company that prioritizes employee well-being and professional development.
