Auto-Chlor System is a nationwide, family-owned company proudly serving the hospitality industry since 1938. We're seeking a driven Outside Sales Representative to develop new business throughout the greater Louisville area, with a strong focus on growing our presence in the Lexington market.
This is a true outside sales role built for someone who enjoys prospecting, cold calling, getting in front of decision-makers, and closing new business. You'll own your sales activity, build your pipeline, and develop a territory with significant long-term earning potential.
Compensation & Earning Potential

- Uncapped commission — your earning potential grows with your sales performance
- Guaranteed commission during paid training to give you stability while learning the business
The first year is about learning our products, understanding the market, establishing relationships, and building your territory. As that foundation develops, so does your earning potential.

You'll:
- Prospect and cold call restaurants and hospitality businesses to generate new opportunities

- Build your own pipeline and consistently pursue new business
- Develop and manage the Louisville East territory, with a dedicated focus on expanding the Lexington market
- Identify customer needs and present Auto-Chlor's commercial dishwashing, cleaning, and sanitizing solutions
- Manage opportunities from initial prospecting through close

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is competitive, self-motivated, and comfortable creating opportunities rather than waiting for leads.
You should be someone who:
- Enjoys prospecting and developing new business
- Is comfortable with cold calling and in-person sales
- Can confidently approach business owners and decision-makers
- Is motivated by goals, commission, and uncapped earning potential
- Can independently manage a territory and sales pipeline
