Picture yourself as the trusted advisor walking into local manufacturing plants, offices, and construction sites across Lincoln, ensuring every employee has access to top-tier first aid kits, AEDs, eye wash stations, and safety gear that meets OSHA standards. At Cintas, our Service Sales Representatives are the frontline heroes who blend sales acumen with genuine care for workplace safety.

The role demands a blend of relationship-building prowess and technical know-how. You'll start your day planning routes through Lincoln's bustling districts—from the historic Haymarket to the innovative R&D hubs near the University of Nebraska. Your mission? Exceed customer expectations by servicing accounts with precision, replacing depleted supplies, and spotting opportunities to upsell life-saving products.

Day in the Life

Imagine kicking off your Monday at 7 AM in Cintas' Lincoln facility, your company van loaded with fresh supplies. Your first stop: a construction site near Pioneers Park, where you inspect eyewash stations, replenish bandages, and train the crew on new CPR kits. The site manager raves about last month's service, and you seize the moment to introduce our advanced AED units—closing the deal on the spot.

By 10 AM, you're weaving through downtown Lincoln traffic to service a corporate office in the Haymarket District. Here, you perform monthly checks on fire extinguishers, update safety posters, and discuss OSHA compliance gaps. Lunch is a quick bite at a local spot like The Oven, fueling you for afternoon calls. Post-lunch, prospect a new automotive client near Gateway Mall, demoing our spill control products and scheduling a full audit.

Wrapping up by 5 PM, you log activities in our CRM, review tomorrow's route, and hit your sales quota. Evenings might involve team huddles sharing success stories. This rhythm—60% service, 40% sales—builds lasting client bonds while driving revenue in Lincoln's thriving economy.
