This isn’t just a place to work, it’s a second home, a second family, our Ernest family.
Ready to build something that’s yours, forever?
At Ernest, we don’t just sell packaging, we build partnerships. We’re looking for a Territory Sales Representative who thrives in the field, loves the chase, and builds lasting relationships that pay off (literally).
This is outside sales with serious upside. You’ll prospect, pitch, and open new accounts and then own and grow them. You’ll keep earning residual income from every account you bring in. That’s right, forever.
What You’ll Do
- Engage potential clients through proactive, in-person outreach and meaningful relationship-building within your territory
- Develop a book of business through new client acquisition
- Manage and grow the accounts you open, these are yours to keep
- Offer solutions with our products in packaging, automation, janitorial, safety, and beyond
- Represent the Ernest brand with professionalism and personality
What You’ll Get
- Uncapped earnings: Base salary + 15% commission + bonuses + car allowance
- Residual income from your accounts (even years down the line). High impact, high reward. $200k–$400k isn’t a stretch, it’s the standard for our best.
- Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO
- Culture that clicks: Fun, supportive, driven, we root for each other
- Legacy with lift: 75+ years of innovation, and we’re still growing
What We’re Looking For
- Passion for sales and relationship-building
- Previous experience in outside sales is required
- Hunter mentality with a knack for face-to-face engagement
- Resilience, positivity, and an entrepreneurial gritty spirit
We're not your typical company, and we don’t want typical salespeople. We want someone bold, curious, driven, and ready to grow something extraordinary. If this is you, let's do this. Unbox your potential by moving packaging forward, with Ernest.

About this role
Ernest is looking for an outside sales representative to build and own a territory in the Boise area, selling packaging solutions and related products to B2B clients. You'll spend time in the field prospecting, pitching new accounts, and managing the relationships you develop—and here's the key difference: the accounts you bring in stay yours. That means you'll continue earning commission on them for years, creating genuine residual income alongside your base salary and bonuses. The compensation structure reflects this model: $200k–$400k is standard for top performers, with uncapped commissions, a car allowance, and full benefits.
This role suits someone with proven outside sales experience who genuinely enjoys face-to-face relationship-building and has the resilience to hunt for new business. You need to be self-directed, comfortable with rejection, and driven by the idea of building something that's truly yours within the company. Ernest emphasizes culture and community—they're explicit about valuing their people and creating a supportive environment—so if you thrive in a collaborative, appreciative workplace alongside the competitive sales environment, that matters here.
The work is hybrid: field, remote, and office time depending on what the day requires. You're joining a company with over 80 years of history and a track record of innovation, but one that still operates with the personalized service mentality it started with in a Los Angeles garage.
