The Role
As our Paint Sales Specialist, you'll be the go-to expert for customers navigating color selection, product recommendations, and paint solutions for their projects.

What You'll Do
- Guide customers through color selection and help them choose the right products and tools for their complete paint project
- Develop and grow relationships with professional paint contractors, becoming their trusted supplier of choice
- Understand contractor needs — job timelines, volume requirements, product preferences and deliver proactive, reliable service
- Mix, tint, and match paint accurately and efficiently
- Drive paint department sales by building relationships with both residential and professional customers
- Stay current on Benjamin Moore product lines, promotions, and new offerings
- Maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked paint department
- Process contractor orders accurately and ensure timely fulfillment
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in paint sales or a paint department retail environment
- Strong working knowledge of Benjamin Moore products (required)
- Experience working with professional paint contractors is a strong plus
- Excellent customer service and communication skills
- Ability to operate paint mixing and tinting equipment
- A passion for helping customers bring their vision to life
- Self-motivated with a track record of meeting or exceeding sales goals
- Availability to work a full-time schedule including weekend hours
Why Norfolk Hardware & Home Center?
- Competitive pay commensurate with experience
- A supportive, team-oriented environment
- Local, family-owned company serving the community for 92 years
- The opportunity to work with a premium product line and a loyal, growing contractor customer base
If you're a paint sales professional who loves helping people — from weekend DIYers to busy painting crews — and knows Benjamin Moore inside and out, we'd love to hear from you.
