About RocketPainter Kingston
We’re a locally owned and operated painting company serving Kingston, Ontario.
Our goal is to set the standard for premium painting in Kingston through exceptional craftsmanship, disciplined execution, and a professional client experience from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Our clients are homeowners and business owners who value quality, clear communication, and a company they can trust to do the job properly.
We’re growing fast, and we’re looking for A-Players who can represent RocketPainter well, guide clients through the decision-making process, and help us build the next stage of the company.
We don’t just hire based on experience. We hire people who fit.
Our V.I.P.S. Values
These values guide how we sell, serve clients, work as a team, and make decisions every day.
V — Value
We create real value for every person we interact with. That means understanding what the client actually needs, providing honest recommendations, and helping them make the right decision for their property.
I — Integrity
We do what we say we’re going to do. We communicate honestly, follow through on commitments, and never pressure someone into a decision that is not right for them.
P — Pride
We take pride in how we present ourselves, how thoroughly we assess each project, and how clearly we communicate our recommendations. Your standard is excellence, and your goal is constant improvement.
S — Serving Others
Sales is not about convincing someone to buy. It is about listening, solving problems, and making the process easier for the client. We treat every consultation as an opportunity to serve.
What You’ll Be Doing
As our Sales Representative, you’ll meet with homeowners and business owners, assess their painting needs, prepare professional estimates, and guide them from consultation through approval.
You’ll be one of the first people clients meet from RocketPainter, so how you communicate, follow up, and carry yourself matters.
At the Door
- Canvass assigned neighbourhood 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
- Filling your calendar with qualified in-home estimates for yourself
- 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 understand our process, value, and next steps.
Client Consultations
- Meet with homeowners and business owners
- Ask thoughtful questions to understand their needs, priorities, and concerns

- Get to the root of any concerns or hesitations

- Coordinate with the Production team so the client receives a smooth experience

- You are organized and can manage several client conversations at once

- You can follow a proven sales process while still having natural, genuine conversations
- You care about details and understand that accurate documentation affects the entire team
- You want your performance measured and are motivated by clear targets
- You have a valid Class G licence and reliable access to your own vehicle
Experience in sales, home services, painting, construction, or renovations is an asset. However, strong character, coachability, and the ability to build trust matter more to us than having the perfect résumé.
