Operations · 5 min read read · By daniilsells
Learn how to hire commission-based sales reps for a window cleaning business using Indeed, personal brand recruiting, two interviews, and live door-to-door training. Built for owners who want predictable revenue growth.
Hiring sales reps is one of the fastest ways to scale a window cleaning business — and one of the fastest ways to lose money if done wrong.
In our business, we only hire sales reps who can consistently generate $10,000+ in weekly revenue. Every rep must pass two interviews and a real door-to-door test day before they ever represent our brand.
This article breaks down the exact hiring system we use — from the Indeed job post to screening questions, interviews, and live training — so you can avoid bad hires and build a reliable sales team.
Why Most Window Cleaning Owners Hire Sales Reps the Wrong Way
Most owners fail at hiring sales reps because they:
Hire too fast
Don’t filter aggressively
Hope motivation magically appears
Door-to-door sales is hard. Rejection, walking, and performance pressure eliminate most people quickly. If you don’t filter properly before hiring, you’ll burn time, money, and energy training people who were never a fit.
The solution is not more motivation — it’s a better system.
Step 1: Hiring Window Cleaning Sales Reps on Indeed
The first channel we use to hire sales reps is Indeed.
The biggest mistake owners make on Indeed is trying to sound “nice” or generic. We do the opposite.
Our job description is intentionally direct and clear about:
Door-to-door sales
Commission-based pay
Exact earnings per sale
Real expectations
This works because weak candidates disqualify themselves.
If someone is uncomfortable with commission, rejection, or walking neighborhoods, they quit before you ever talk to them — which is exactly what you want.
Key Numbers We Include in the Job Post
We always include real numbers, not vague promises:
25–40% commission
$137–$212 per sale
1–2 hours to close one sale
Paid training: $20/hour + full commission from day one
The paid training line attracts strong candidates who are confident they’ll perform.
