I was recruited to work in a store initially. I eventually was promoted to a Territory Sales Manager. From there I was promoted to RFSM. The main reason I was promoted was that no one else wanted to move or was unwilling to do the job for the initial low pay

You cannot get this job without being promoted from within. O'Reilly has a culture of promoting to this type of management position. It is possible to be hired and put on a training program along with working a lower position. But it is rare for this position. This position requires a strong professional sales background with 5+ years of understanding the automotive aftermarket.
