Learn Sales, Territory Management, and Small Business Operations
Surface Experts of Bethesda Perfect for recent graduates, former athletes, or anyone early in their career who wants to learn sales and business development.
At Surface Experts of Bethesda, we’re building a small, fast‑growing service business that helps apartment communities repair damage to things like countertops, cabinets, tubs, and floors—without replacing them.
This role is not a call‑center sales job. You’ll be out in the field building relationships with property managers, learning how service businesses grow, and seeing how sales, operations, and customer service work together.
Think of it as a paid apprenticeship in business development.
If you’re curious, hardworking, and coachable, we will teach you everything else.

Customer discovery and asking great questions
Territory management and route planning

Your goal is:

Walk vacant units to identify repair opportunities
Schedule repairs for our technician team
Follow up with customers and ensure great service
You’ll spend most of your day out meeting people, not sitting behind a desk.
