Outside Sales Representative – Commission-Based

CoolVu of Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley / South Bay, California
Part-Time | Flexible Schedule | Commission-Based

About the Opportunity

CoolVu of Silicon Valley is seeking a motivated, entrepreneurial sales professional to help grow our residential and commercial window-film business.

We provide architectural window-film solutions for solar control, heat and glare reduction, UV protection, privacy, security, and decorative applications.

This is a performance-driven opportunity for someone who enjoys generating leads, building customer relationships, developing referral partners, and closing new business. Compensation is commission-based with no cap on earnings.

More importantly, we are looking for someone who may eventually want to help build—and potentially own part of—the business, rather than remain only a salesperson.

Responsibilities

• Generate residential and commercial sales opportunities
• Build relationships with homeowners, business owners, property managers, contractors, glass companies, designers, and real-estate professionals
• Conduct local networking, direct outreach, neighborhood prospecting, and referral development
• Identify customer needs related to heat, glare, UV protection, privacy, security, and decorative films
• Schedule qualified consultations and site visits
• Present CoolVu solutions using approved product information and pricing guidelines
• Follow up with prospects and help move opportunities toward closing
• Maintain clear records of self-generated leads and sales activity
• Hand qualified projects to CoolVu for technical review, final estimating, contracting, and installation

Path to Potential Ownership

This opportunity is intended for someone who wants to build long-term value—not simply collect short-term commissions.

A representative who consistently generates profitable revenue, develops valuable customer and referral relationships, demonstrates sound judgment, and takes an active role in growing the operation may be considered for a structured path toward profit participation and potentially ownership.

The concept is similar to sweat equity: meaningful participation would be earned over time through measurable business results and sustained contribution.

Ownership is not automatically granted or guaranteed by accepting this position. Any future arrangement would depend on performance, business economics, cultural fit, mutual agreement, required approvals, and a separately documented agreement covering eligibility, valuation, vesting, responsibilities, and ownership terms.

Compensation

• Self-generated residential projects: 7% of collected project revenue
• Self-generated commercial projects under $10,000: 5% of collected project revenue
• Self-generated commercial projects of $10,000 or more: 3% of collected project revenue
• Company-generated opportunities actively sold and closed by the representative: 2%–3% of collected revenue
• Qualified self-generated appointments that are completed: $25–$50
• New strategic referral partner: $100 after the partner’s first completed and paid project

Commissions are paid after CoolVu receives the applicable customer payment. Complete commission terms will be provided in a written compensation agreement.

Ideal Candidate

• Entrepreneurial and comfortable creating opportunities from the ground up
• Motivated by performance-based compensation
• Comfortable starting conversations and building relationships
• Professional and trustworthy when representing a local business
• Able to work independently without constant supervision
• Interested in residential improvement, commercial property, construction, architecture, security, or local business development
• Able to travel locally throughout Silicon Valley
• Has reliable transportation
• Prior sales experience is helpful but not required
• Existing relationships with contractors, property managers, glass companies, designers, or real-estate professionals are especially valuable
• Interested in potentially assuming greater operational and ownership responsibility as the business grows
