Design. Sell. Impress. Own Your Career.

Are you a natural with people? Do you love the art of design and the thrill of the close? At Floor Coverings International of Downtown Chicago, we don’t just sell floors — we transform spaces and elevate lifestyles.

We’re looking for an energetic, positive, high-performing Design Associate to join our elite team. You’ll meet clients in their homes, guide them through a stunning Mobile Showroom experience with over 3,000 samples, and help bring their vision to life — all while earning uncapped commissions and building a career in the heart of Chicago.

What You’ll Do:

Drive to client homes in your territory (appointments provided daily)
Design personalized flooring solutions using real samples in the customer’s lighting, furniture, and décor
Build and present professional quotes with down-to-the-penny accuracy
Learn to close deals on the spot — we don’t do “let me think about it”
Hand off installations to our in-house coordination team and follow up for 5-star results
Earn the client’s trust, repeat business, and referrals

What Makes This Role Special:

Work from home – your hours are set by your appointments
No showroom hours – You drive the Mobile Showroom to your client.
Pre-qualified appointments daily — no cold calling required
Cutting-edge design tools — including digital floor visualizers and real product samples
Support of a proven brand backed our 5 Star rating, 400,000+ happy customers, and elite national buying power
A small, ambitious team in Chicago’s fastest-growing flooring market
You get to be the expert, build lasting relationships, and watch your earnings grow

What We’re Looking For:

A relationship-builder – you know how to build instant connections and drive through high-status networks
A closer — you know how to move conversations toward a confident “yes”
An eye for design — doesn’t have to be formal, but you understand color, light, and balance
In-home consultative sales experience strongly preferred (flooring, kitchens, solar, closets, etc.)
Pet friendly – everyone in Chicago has animals, so as long as you are good with animals we are good with you!
Comfortable driving to multiple appointments per day across the city
Tech-savvy with tablets, quoting software, and digital tools
Highly self-motivated, goal-oriented, and obsessed with delivering 5-star service
Clean driving record — company vehicle is provided

What You’ll Earn:

$70,000–$100,000+ realistic first-year earnings
Commission + performance bonuses (no cap)
Top-performers can expect over $100k annual payouts
Paid training and mentorship
