We here at the Gustave A Larson Company are looking our next team member to join us as a Counter Sales Representative. What qualities are we looking for?

We are an HVAC/R wholesale distributor throughout the Midwest and Mountain States, including Salt Lake City. We thrive on being customer service oriented, being nimble, balancing multiple responsibilities, and developing positive relationships with our teams to work together to get the job done.

We need people who are:

• Customer Focused - we are passionate about serving all of our customers, including dealers, business owners and large HVACR (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration) companies and consolidators. We meet customers' needs by delivering on our promises at the Counter in our locations. We do this by being present and in person with our customers at our location, on the phone, and managing and fulfilling online orders quickly.
