The Role

Kincaid’s Is Music, Inc. is now hiring for an Inside Salesperson. We are a musical instrument and accessory retail store (brick & mortar and online) that helps people find the instruments and accessories they need to make great music that positively impacts humans and the world. Yet many, especially parents of school band and orchestra participants, don’t know what they need. We help them find instruments affordably and guide them through their (or their child’s) musical journey.

ROLE: Inside Salesperson

REPORTS TO: Director of Sales JOB TYPE: Full-Time Employee (40 hours a week) LOCATION: Springfield, OH

Mission/ Purpose:

Guide those who call, email or come into the store by pointing out relevant and timely solutions to the problems they face, as well as warning them of potential issues they may not yet see, and providing them with a way to easily and affordably navigate those challenges.

Sales being the engine that allows the entire company to run effectively, win/win situations must be found between customer and company so we can continue to help as many people as we can.

You will have three primary roles:

Help identify the needs of our customers (potential or realized) and guide them to the solutions that work best for them. Whether face-to-face, over the phone, via email, chat or social media, guiding customers to the solutions for their musical problems is your top priority. Show our prospective customers that you understand them better than anyone, care about them more than our competitors, and help them by offering our products and services.

Follow up with customers to ensure customer satisfaction while seeking referral opportunities, testimonials, and 5-star Google reviews.

Looking for sales opportunities - proactively seeking to connect with potential customers and/or encouraging them to come in, rather than waiting for them to come to us.

Role Competencies:

Results-Oriented – You are able to set goals, focus on the task at hand, and won’t rest until you’ve achieved them.

Customer Centric – You focus on how we can create a world class experience for our in-store customers and improve customer satisfaction.

Time Management - You are great at time management and know how to protect others’ time so they are able to focus on their most important tasks.

Dependability - Not only do you come to work on time each day (you know, the bare necessities of the job), but you contact our customers when you say you will and you consistently come through for your teammates.

Persistent – You don’t take “No’s” personally, but learn from them in order to turn them into “Yes’s”.

The Benefits

Starting Base Pay (no experience): $31,200 / year Commission: 10% Gross Margin of sales + multiple spiffs Expected Income In First Year (range depends on commission): $37,000 - $55,000 / year Benefits: Paid vacation & sick leave, Health, Dental & Vision Insurance, Life Insurance, Simple IRA w/matching contributions, Long-Term & Short-Term Disability, generous employee purchase discounts, fun and friendly work environment.

The Requirements

We believe in finding people that are a great match for the role they play. That’s why we’re looking for the right candidate who has the perfect combination of being driven by purpose and fueled by passion, and is open to being coached to their next level of growth.

MBA’s, GPA’s, and degrees aren’t what we’re looking for over here, although if you have them, that’s great! What matters more is that your heart is in it and you have a track record of getting stuff done!

That being said, feel free to apply even if you don’t check all the boxes below. Just make sure to mention that in your application and explain why we should consider you.

Required:

Have music experience in your past.
