Design Sales Consultant

Overview

We are partnering with a leading manufacturer of premium woven carpets to identify a Sales Representative for the Las Vegas, Nevada market. This is a studio-based position focused on developing relationships within the architecture and design (A&D), hospitality, gaming, resort, and luxury residential sectors.

This is a unique succession opportunity to work alongside an established sales representative with more than 20 years of experience in the territory. The successful candidate will initially focus on learning the products, customers, design services, and specification process while building relationships within existing accounts and gradually developing new business opportunities.

The ideal candidate has established experience within the A&D community, a strong understanding of design and color, and the ability to provide exceptional design and specification support. Previous experience representing a manufacturer is beneficial but not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Work alongside an experienced sales representative to learn the Las Vegas market, customer relationships, products, and specification processes
• Participate in client meetings, design presentations, project discussions, and site visits
• Build and strengthen relationships with interior designers, architects, hotel ownership groups, developers, purchasing groups, and other industry professionals
• Develop relationships within existing accounts, particularly at the interior designer level, to support long-term customer continuity
• Support carpet specifications for hospitality, gaming, resort, luxury residential, and mixed-use projects
• Present premium woven carpet products and design solutions through consultations, presentations, lunch-and-learns, and industry events
• Assist with the specification and project sales process from initial presentation through project award
• Collaborate with internal design, planning, operations, and project management teams
• Coordinate with ownership groups and purchasing agents to support specifications and project sales
• Track customer relationships, projects, and sales opportunities using CRM systems
• Identify new business opportunities while maintaining and expanding existing customer relationships
• Monitor market trends, competitive activity, and upcoming project opportunities
• Participate in hospitality trade shows, networking events, and industry conferences
• Provide timely reporting and participate in company meetings and training
• Gradually assume greater responsibility for existing accounts and territory development as part of the long-term succession plan

Ideal Background

• Strong understanding of design principles, color, and their application within interior environments
• Experience working within the architecture and design (A&D) community, particularly with interior designers and architects, required
• Understanding of what architects and designers value in a vendor representative, including design expertise, product knowledge, and responsive service
• Experience working with hospitality groups or other commercial clients preferred
• Previous manufacturer representation or traditional B2B sales experience beneficial but not required
• Las Vegas market knowledge or established industry relationships preferred, but not required
• Strong communication, presentation, relationship-building, and organizational skills
• Self-motivated, collaborative, and interested in developing a long-term career within the hospitality interiors industry
• Ability to learn from an experienced sales professional while progressively assuming responsibility for customer relationships
• Comfortable working independently while maintaining close collaboration with the existing representative and internal teams

What We're Looking For

We are seeking a design-focused professional who understands the importance of color, aesthetics, and exceptional service within the architecture and design community.

The ideal candidate brings established A&D experience and understands how to support interior designers throughout the specification process. Traditional sales experience is less important than design knowledge, relationship-building ability, and an understanding of what makes a valuable vendor partner.

This is a long-term succession opportunity focused on maintaining established customer relationships, expanding connections within existing accounts, and gradually assuming greater responsibility for the Las Vegas territory while developing new business opportunities.
