Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day at 7:30 AM in Cintas' state-of-the-art Omaha facility on the city's west side. After a quick team huddle where you review overnight leads and set daily targets, you're in your company-leased vehicle, tablet in hand, AirCard keeping you connected. Your first stop: a cold call to a logistics firm in La Vista, Nebraska, just south of Omaha. Using business intelligence gathered from our CRM, you highlight how our first aid cabinets and AEDs can reduce their OSHA risks.

By 10 AM, you've set two appointments and transported sample kits to a construction site near Eppley Airfield. Lunch is on the go—a power meeting with a prospect at a downtown Omaha diner, where you demo our eye-wash stations. Afternoon brings follow-ups: qualifying leads from yesterday's calls, updating your sales pipeline, and prepping for a 3 PM presentation at a food processing plant in Council Bluffs, across the Missouri River. End your day logging wins, celebrating a new quarterly bonus trigger, and planning tomorrow's route—all before heading home by 6 PM, with commission checks stacking up.

This rhythm repeats with variety: networking at Omaha Chamber events, riding along with mentors, or tackling inbound leads from our marketing campaigns. It's high-energy, rewarding work where your efforts directly translate to income and impact.
