Sales Representative

No matter how amazing our outdoor and holiday lighting displays are, if we have no customers, no one gets to see them. Our team of talented sales representatives keeps us going by getting the word out about our award-winning designs to potential customers. As the face of the business, our sales representatives know how important it is to be professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the services we provide. If you love meeting new people and live to make a deal, our sales representative might be for you.

As a sales representative for Decorating Elves, you’ll be responsible for acquiring new customers for all four types of lighting services we provide:

• Outdoor lighting
• Landscape lighting
• Christmas lighting and decorations
• Halloween lighting and decorations

For each type of service, we offer design, installation, maintenance, and repair services. Sales representatives make sure our customers can take advantage of our full range of services with minimal effort. We think of our sales representatives kind of like a concierge, guiding our customers to the services that fit them best, then ensuring access to those services is as easy as possible.

We arm our sales representatives with a reputation of almost 20 years of creating jaw-dropping lighting displays here in Tampa Bay. As an established outdoor, landscape, and holiday lighting company, our sales representatives can literally use the Bay area as a living portfolio of our work. This makes selling our services much easier since a customer will never have to go far to find an example of how we bring light and cheer to central Florida!

This is a full-time, commission-based position and is available immediately.
