Role Overview

Imagine starting your day in the vibrant heart of Montréal, Quebec, Canada, where the city's iconic skyline meets endless business opportunities. As a Sales Representative at Cintas in Montréal, Quebec, you'll be the driving force behind our Facility Services Division's growth. This isn't just a job—it's a launchpad for a rewarding career in business-to-business sales. Cintas, a global leader headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, has been helping over one million businesses stay Ready™ for the workday with essential products like uniforms, mats, restroom supplies, and safety solutions. In Montréal, with its thriving economy boasting over 4,000 square kilometers of diverse industries from tech startups in Mile End to manufacturing giants in the east end, you'll target new accounts that keep facilities clean, safe, and professional.

Your role focuses on new business development, where you'll prospect high-potential leads, master cold calling techniques honed through Cintas' renowned 13-week training program, and deliver presentations that close deals. Picture yourself navigating the bustling streets of Plateau-Mont-Royal or the industrial parks of Saint-Laurent, building relationships with restaurant owners needing fresh mats, office managers seeking restroom supplies, or factory supervisors requiring first aid kits. Success here means not just meeting quotas but exceeding them, fueled by uncapped commissions and a supportive team that celebrates every win.

Day in the Life

Your day as a Cintas Sales Representative in Montréal begins at 8 AM with a steaming café au lait from a local boulangerie, reviewing your territory map on your company-issued tablet. By 9 AM, you're hitting the pavement—or more likely, the autoroute— in your leased vehicle, complete with gas, insurance, and maintenance allowances. First stop: a cold call blitz from your mobile office, qualifying leads from business intelligence you've gathered on prospects like boutique hotels in Old Montréal or food processing plants in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

Mid-morning, you set an appointment with a promising restaurant chain in Vieux-Port. Arriving with product samples—crisp towels, anti-fatigue mats—you deliver a dynamic presentation showcasing how Cintas keeps their space spotless and compliant. Lunch is grabbed on the go, perhaps poutine from a food truck, while updating your CRM. Afternoon brings follow-ups, negotiations, and ideally, signing a new contract that boosts your pipeline. Evenings wrap with team check-ins, planning tomorrow's hunts, and tracking progress toward monthly bonuses. It's dynamic, autonomous, and deeply rewarding, blending Montréal's French flair with high-stakes sales action.

Why Montréal

Montréal, Quebec, Canada, isn't just a location—it's a sales powerhouse. As Canada's second-largest city with a metropolitan population exceeding 4.2 million, it pulses with opportunity.

Boasting North America's largest inland port and a booming aerospace sector with players like Bombardier, Montréal offers endless B2B prospects. Neighborhoods like the Golden Square Mile house corporate HQs, while Saint-Henri's creative agencies need facility services to match their innovative vibe.

Beyond business, Montréal's quality of life is unmatched: world-class festivals like Jazz Fest, affordable living compared to Toronto, and a food scene rivaling Paris.
