Most People Couldn't Do This Job.
But If You're Built Different, You Already Know It.
Most job ads list requirements. This one describes a person.
- You're the kind of person who hears "no" and doesn't take it personally.
- You knock on the next door before the last one has even closed.
- You've been in situations where you had to push through when it would've been easier to quit, and you found out something about yourself: you don't quit.
- You like to compete. You keep score, even when nobody's asking you to. You'd rather have a hard goal and chase it than coast through an easy day. When you set a target, you hit it and then you want to beat it.
- You're comfortable talking to strangers. You can read a person in ten seconds, find something real to connect on, and leave them glad they answered the door.
- You show up every day, on time, ready to work — rain, heat, or a slow afternoon. Your effort doesn't depend on your mood.
If that sounds like you, keep reading.
About RocketPainter Kingston
We're a locally-owned and operated painting company in Kingston, Ontario, built on a simple idea: treat every client's home like it's our own.
We're known across Kingston for showing up on time, communicating clearly, doing exceptional work, and leaving every job site spotless. Our clients say things like "best painting experience ever" and "professional, respectful, and proud of their work." We intend to keep it that way, and we need the right person to help us do it.
We don't just hire bodies. We hire people who fit.
Our V.I.P.S. Values
Every decision we make, every job we take on, every interaction we have — these four values guide us. They're not aspirational. They're operational.
V — Value.
We create real value for every single person we interact with clients, teammates, and neighbours alike. Not just putting paint on walls, but genuinely improving people's lives.
I — Integrity
We show up on time. We do what we say we're going to do. Every time, without
exception. Our word is our bond — and our reputation is built on it.
P — Pride
We take pride in our craft and in how we represent this company at every door. "Good enough" isn't in our vocabulary.
S — Serving Others
We go out of our way, and then some, to improve the experience of everyone we interact with. Being of service to others isn't a task. It's a privilege we take seriously.
What You'll Be Doing
As our Field Marketing Manager (Canvasser), you're the first face of RocketPainter in the neighbourhoods we serve. Your job is to go door-to-door, introduce homeowners to what we do, spark genuine interest, and book qualified estimate appointments for our sales team.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
At the Door
- Canvass assigned neighbourhoods on foot, connecting with homeowners face-to-face
- Introduce RocketPainter warmly and professionally. You represent the brand at every door
- Start real conversations, spot homeowners with painting needs, and generate interest
- Handle "no" gracefully and keep moving (volume and consistency are the game)
Booking Appointments
- Book qualified in-home estimate appointments for our sales team
- Confirm the basics so every appointment is worth the visit (e.g. the right people, a real project, a realistic timeline)
- Set clear expectations so homeowners look forward to the estimate
Tracking & Teamwork
- Log every door, conversation, and booking so we know what's working
- Hit daily and weekly activity and booking targets
- Share what you're hearing at the doors so we keep getting sharper
What You'll Get
- Starting pay of $18–$22/hour
- Hands-on training — we'll teach you exactly how to win at the door
- Clear targets and real feedback — you'll always know where you stand
- Real growth opportunities as the company expands
- A team that respects hard work and celebrates results
- Company events and store discounts
This Role Is For You If...
- You're resilient: a "no" rolls off you and you're onto the next door
- You're competitive and you love hitting a target, then beating it
- You genuinely like people and can start a conversation with anyone
- You've got the energy and drive to be on your feet and outdoors all day
- You take pride in how you show up — you're the first impression of a premium brand
- You want a role where your effort directly drives your results
- You have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- No sales experience required, the right attitude beats a resume every time
One last thing...
Because we want to know you actually read this whole ad and didn't just skim it. Please include the phrase "Rocket Ready" somewhere in your application. It's a small thing, but it tells us a lot about how you approach what you're asked to do.
We're not looking for the most experienced salesperson in Kingston.
We're looking for the right one.
Pay: $18.00-$22.00 per hour
Expected hours: 40.0 per week
Application question(s):
- Tell us a little about yourself and what drives you.
- Why a competitive, people-facing role appeals to you.
- Most importantly: Tell us about a time you kept going when it would've been easier to quit (in sports, at work, or in life). That answer matters to us more than anything else you could send.
