Join the Purple Team

The Purple Team is COI Rubber Products’ independent sales representative network, created for motivated professionals who want to build their own customer relationships and generate recurring commission income without the overhead of operating a manufacturing company.

Unlike traditional sales positions, Purple Team representatives focus on developing opportunities and building relationships while COI handles the operational infrastructure.

You bring the relationships. We provide the manufacturing, quoting, engineering coordination, quality support, and fulfillment.

Whether you’re an experienced industrial sales representative, a retired industry professional, or an entrepreneur with strong business connections, the Purple Team provides a platform to turn opportunities into long-term business.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and develop new B2B customers requiring custom rubber or plastic components.
• Build relationships with purchasing managers, engineers, sourcing professionals, and business owners.
• Introduce COI Rubber Products’ manufacturing capabilities to prospective customers.
• Identify opportunities for custom-manufactured components and recurring production orders.
• Coordinate RFQ submissions and customer requirements with COI’s internal team.
• Maintain professional communication with customers throughout the sales process.
• Develop long-term accounts and expand opportunities within existing customer relationships.
• Collaborate with COI’s sales and operations teams to support successful customer acquisition.

What COI Provides

Purple Team representatives benefit from an established business infrastructure, including:

• Global manufacturing and sourcing capabilities
• Engineering and technical support
• Professional quotation and pricing assistance
• Quality assurance and production coordination
• U.S.-based warehousing and logistics
• Customer service and order fulfillment
• Sales resources and product information
• A scalable platform for developing recurring business

Representatives can focus primarily on sales and relationship development rather than managing production, inventory, or logistics.

This is a 100% commission-based independent contractor opportunity, with no fixed salary.

Our compensation model is designed to reward representatives for generating profitable business and developing long-term customer relationships.

Depending on the applicable representative agreement, compensation opportunities may include:

There is no stated cap on earning potential. Actual earnings depend on customer activity, sales volume, profitability, and the terms of the representative agreement.

Ideal Candidates

We welcome professionals from a variety of backgrounds, particularly those with experience in:

• Industrial manufacturing and component sales
• Rubber, plastics, sealing, or engineered products
• OEM and aftermarket supply chains
• Automotive, agriculture, construction, or heavy equipment industries
• Procurement, sourcing, and supply-chain management
• Independent manufacturers’ representation
• B2B business development and account management
