Outside Sales Representative — Austin Territory (Route Sales)

Job Summary Build Austin from the Ground Up Cavalier Products has been serving Texas automotive and industrial shops since 2000. We run seven sales routes across DFW, East Texas, Houston, and San Antonio - and we're opening our eighth in Austin. What We Do We sell shop supplies and consumables — fasteners, electrical terminals, hose clamps, adhesives, lubricants, sealants, and thousands of other SKUs — directly to automotive repair shops, collision centers, dealerships, fleet operations, and industrial and construction businesses. Our reps don't take orders over the phone. They walk the shop floor, manage the customer's inventory on site, and restock what's running low. We win on service, reliability, and the relationships our reps build - which is why many of our accounts have stayed with us for decades. What You'll Do Run your own territory across Austin and the surrounding communities — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Kyle, Buda, and the satellite towns along the I-35 corridor Build a customer book from scratch, starting with a target prospect list we develop with you Service and grow existing accounts through regular, scheduled visits Manage your truck inventory so you have what your customers need, when they need it Take your truck home at night and start your day where it makes sense — not at a warehouse What We're Looking For Required: Proven sales experience with a track record you can speak to Valid driver's license and clean driving record Comfort working independently and managing your own schedule Basic computer skills (CRM, email, mobile apps) Ability to commute within the Austin metro area Strongly preferred: Sales background in the automotive, construction, industrial, or MRO/distribution space Experience in outside sales, route sales, or territory development Familiarity with shop environments and the people who run them You do not need to know our products. We'll teach you that. What we can't teach is the willingness to walk into a shop you've never been in, introduce yourself, and start a relationship. You Won't Be Doing This Alone New territory doesn't mean figuring it out on your own. You'll be trained by seasoned reps who have built successful routes from nothing, including ride-alongs and direct mentorship from our founder, who has spent 26 years doing exactly this. They'll work with you on product knowledge, the sales approach that has made this business work, and the practical side of running a route well. Behind you is a back-office team that replenishes what you sell each week and ships it directly to you — so your truck stays stocked without you having to run back to a warehouse. We'll also help you build your initial prospect list and get those first accounts opened. Compensation & Benefits Guaranteed minimum of $45,000 in your first year while you build your territory, with commission-based earnings growing to $100,000+ as your route matures Bonus opportunities tied to new account acquisition and territory growth Company vehicle, fuel, and all product inventory provided Paid training and ongoing mentorship (see above) Paid time off and paid holidays Monday through Friday, day shift — you may occasionally use part of a Saturday for inventory or truck upkeep, but weekends are not a scheduled workday or a selling requirement Why This Role Is Different Most route sales jobs hand you someone else's leftovers. This one hands you a metro of roughly 1,800 automotive service businesses with no Cavalier presence at all. Every account you open is one you built — and our most established reps built their territories the same way, starting exactly where you'll start. Our sales reps stay with us an average of more than six years. In outside sales, that's rare — and it's the clearest evidence we can give you that this model works for the people running it. Pay: $50,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year Benefits: Paid time off Paid training Work Location: O…
