CarWise Gurnee | Gurnee, IL (Gurnee Mills)
Pay: $60,000 – $160,000 per year
You already know how to sell cars. Now get paid like it, and earn your time back.
If you've been in the car business for a while, you know what wears people down: long days every day, weeks without a real break, and fighting for traffic. CarWise Gurnee rewards production differently. We're looking for seasoned sales professionals who want high income, deep inventory, steady leads, and a pay plan where hitting your numbers earns you real time off or more money.
Earn Your Week: Sell 7 a Week for 6 Weeks, Then Choose
Sell 7 vehicles a week for 6 weeks in a row, and you earn a paid week. Then you decide:
- Take the week off, fully paid. Recharge and come back ready.
- Take the cash and keep selling. Collect that week's pay and keep earning commissions, so your income builds on itself.
Top producers who qualify every cycle can earn as many as 7 paid weeks a year, taken as time off, cash, or a mix of both. Nobody puts a cap on what you make.

- Someone with an existing customer base or a habit of building one through follow-up and referrals
- A professional, organized self-starter who doesn't need to be managed into hitting goals

Sales Professional Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a sales professional in Illinois?
Most sales professional roles in Illinois require a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field, though many employers also hire candidates with an associate degree and demonstrated sales aptitude. Illinois does not impose a state license for general sales roles, but specific sectors carry their own requirements: insurance sales requires a license from the Illinois Department of Insurance, and securities sales requires FINRA registration. Building experience through entry-level account representative or inside sales roles is the most common path into the profession.
Which companies hire sales professionals in Illinois?
Illinois sales professional roles are posted by HERITAGE TRACTOR, Service Corporation International, and Grupo Bimbo and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Illinois's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters and major financial and healthcare firms creates consistent, year-round demand across a wide range of industries and seniority levels.
Which Illinois cities have the most sales professional jobs?
Chicago, Illinois, and Peoria have the most sales professional openings in Illinois. Chicago drives the bulk of demand through its density of technology firms, financial institutions, and corporate headquarters, while Naperville and Schaumburg generate steady suburban volume from the major employers whose regional offices and campuses are concentrated in the I-88 corridor west of the city.
Are there remote sales professional jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than many fields, since inside sales, account management, and business development roles are well suited to remote work. About 32% of sales professional openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the broad adoption of virtual selling tools across the industry. Roles focused on outbound prospecting and software or SaaS products tend to carry the most remote flexibility, while field sales and medical device positions typically require regular in-person client visits.
How can I get hired as a sales professional in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an inside sales representative or sales development representative role, which large Illinois employers in technology, insurance, and financial services fill on a consistent basis without requiring prior quota-carrying experience. Companies such as Discover Financial Services and Morningstar run structured new-hire training programs that onboard candidates with limited backgrounds. Moving laterally from customer service, retail management, or marketing coordinator roles is also a recognized path. Earning a HubSpot sales certification or completing an Illinois community college business program strengthens a candidate's profile considerably.
Where can I find and apply to sales professional jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to sales professional jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Illinois employers and locations. Search the roles available, identify the ones that match your experience and target industry, and apply directly to the positions that fit your background.
