Your design instincts are worth more than your current income reflects. If you are physically in Houston, TX, read on.
If you have spent years developing your eye for space, your ability to listen to a client and your talent for presenting solutions that make people say yes — and you are still wondering when that skill set will be fully rewarded, read on. Closet Factory is a nationally recognized, 40-year leader in custom home storage solutions, and we are looking for design-minded employees who understand how transforming a space can genuinely change how people live.
Unique even in our industry, two nationally recognized retailers have partnered with us — expanding our marketing reach, strengthening our brand recognition and fueling a growth trajectory that creates more opportunity for you every year. For someone whose design instincts and client skills are already proven, a 100% commission role means your income is finally limited by nothing but your own ambition. The skills you have spent years developing are exactly what this role rewards — and here, there is no ceiling on what those skills can earn you.
Designers turn the chaos of each client's home into an organized work of art — custom closets, home offices, garages, pantries and more. Our clients invite you into their homes — your ability to read a space, listen thoughtfully and present a compelling vision is what separates good designers from great ones. When you present a Closet Factory solution, you represent something genuinely worth designing — every product we create is custom built to the client's exact specifications and comes with a transferrable limited lifetime warranty that stays with the home. The solution you provide is so compelling, our typical client buys or refers ten projects over their lifetime relationship.
You may not think of yourself as a salesperson — and that's understandable. But consider this: the most successful people in your field — the ones running their own firms — are among the best salespeople in the world. They listen carefully, understand what a client truly needs, present a compelling vision within a budget and ask for a commitment. That is exactly what you will do here, with the full support of our training program to bridge any gaps.
Our brand attracts homeowners who are ready to buy — 85% of the prospects we meet with are actively planning a purchase. Whether they buy from us is where your design instincts, listening skills and ability to present a compelling solution at a price point the client is comfortable proceeding with make all the difference. Our close rate of 54% — nearly double the industry average — is the direct result of a deliberate, client oriented sales process that takes budget seriously from the very first conversation.
This is a real sales role that rewards skill, process and patience. The prospect will not hand over their credit card — you will earn it. Your product knowledge will develop through your existing design instincts, energy and desire to learn.
The income gap between where you are today and where you start here is smaller than you might think — and the ceiling on the other side of this role is transformational. Top performers earn $100,000+ in this role. The harder you work, the better you get and the more you earn. Beyond commission, we offer monthly and annual performance bonuses. Many of our most successful designers came to us from design and architecture backgrounds and found that this role finally gave their talents a financial return worthy of their skills.
You will join a passionate local team that wants to see you win. We generate and schedule your leads, convert them into appointments and provide software, training and support. You must be available to host 4 appointments per week in clients' homes. The schedule requires flexibility including evenings and Saturdays — in exchange, you control how you build your days. Your territory is the entire city of Houston and your appointment locations reflect that. If it's a mutual fit, you'll kick things off in our one-week paid training program — designed to add the business development skills that complete your existing design instincts.
