Role Overview

In the heart of Lubbock, Texas, Cintas is on the hunt for dynamic Service Sales Representatives in First Aid and Safety. This isn't just a job—it's your gateway to building lasting relationships while ensuring businesses stay compliant and safe. Picture yourself as the go-to expert, rolling up to local companies in your company vehicle, ready to refresh their first aid kits, inspect eye-wash stations, and recommend cutting-edge safety gear that keeps employees protected. Every day, you'll blend sales savvy with genuine service, turning routine visits into opportunities for growth and loyalty.

No two days are the same—one moment you're upselling defibrillators to a construction firm, the next calibrating fire extinguishers for a bustling warehouse. With a territory centered in Lubbock, you'll cover the South Plains, from Texas Tech University environs to agribusiness hubs, making a tangible impact on workplace safety.

Day in the Life

Your alarm buzzes at 6:30 AM in sunny Lubbock, Texas. After a quick breakfast overlooking the vast High Plains, you grab your Cintas gear and hit the road in your fully stocked service van. First stop: a manufacturing plant on the outskirts of town. You check in with the safety manager, a familiar face from last month's visit. Time to restock their first aid cabinet—bandages, gloves, and trauma kits fly off the shelves as you note expiring items. Spotting an opportunity, you demo a new automated external defibrillator (AED), highlighting its voice-guided instructions and how it aligns with OSHA standards. The manager's eyes light up; sale closed before coffee break.

Next, a construction site near Lubbock Reese Technology Center. Hard hats and dust swirl as you service their eye-wash stations, flushing lines and verifying flow rates. You upsell high-visibility vests and ergonomic gloves, weaving in stats on reduced injury rates. Lunch is a quick drive-thru at a local spot, fueling up for afternoon calls. Post-lunch, cold-call a growing oilfield services company—your pitch on comprehensive safety programs lands a trial order. Back at the Lubbock branch by 4 PM, you log activities in the CRM, review tomorrow's route, and join a team huddle sharing wins. Home by 6 PM, you've not only hit your service metrics but boosted revenue too. This rhythm in Lubbock blends autonomy with camaraderie, all under Texas skies.
