Sales Associate

Job Overview

We’re Hiring: Retail Sales Associate (High-Volume | Growth Opportunity)

Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet – Dubuque, IA

Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet is one of the fastest-growing discount home improvement and furniture outlets in the Midwest. We sell scratch & dent appliances, furniture, flooring, and liquidation inventory—and every purchase supports local families, veterans, and community restoration through our nonprofit mission.

We are looking for a driven, people-focused Sales Associate who wants more than just a job. This role is for someone who can sell, build rapport, and grow with us as we expand into multiple location

What You’ll Do

• Greet customers and guide them through a high-energy, high-volume sales floor
• Build rapport, identify needs, and close sales
• Convert walk-ins, Facebook Marketplace leads, and online inquiries into in-store purchases
• Upsell warranties, delivery, and financing when appropriate
• Accurately capture customer info (CRM mindset)
• Stay knowledgeable on inventory, pricing vs retail, and current promotions
• Help maintain a clean, organized, fast-moving showroom

What We’re Looking For

• Sales experience preferred (retail, furniture, appliances, automotive, or commission sales a plus)
• Confident communicator who can talk to anyone
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, no-hand-holding environment
• Coachable, accountable, and competitive
• Willing to work weekends (retail reality)

Compensation & Growth

• Above-average hourly pay
• Performance-based bonuses / commissions
• Clear sales goals and tracking
• Advancement opportunities as we expand
• Leadership paths available for top performers

This is a hands-on role in a real business—not a corporate box store. If you want to help build something, make money, and be part of a mission that actually matters, this is it.
