Job Description

Position Overview

Entry‑Level Sales Apprenticeship (Leadership Track) is designed for early‑career individuals who are seeking a long‑term sales career rather than just a summer job.
Candidates may come from retail, fast food, serving, warehouse/blue‑collar work, or customer service. This position begins with an intensive Summer 2026 ramp—6 days per week, in‑person, door‑to‑door—and if expectations are met, continues as an ongoing, quota‑carrying role with a clear leadership track.

Please note this is a demanding role with long hours outdoors and frequent door‑to‑door interactions.

Schedule: Summer 2026 ramp (6 days/week, approximately 8‑10 hours per day)

To apply, click “Apply” and answer brief questions about your recent work experience, your desire for a long‑term sales career, and your ability to handle quotas during the summer ramp. Qualified candidates will be contacted within 48 hours for a short Zoom interview.

Key Responsibilities

  • Go door‑to‑door in assigned neighborhoods to introduce homeowners to our pest control services.
  • Use a proven script to present the service, handle objections, and close new customers.
  • Work 6 days per week during the summer ramp, typically for 8‑10 hours per day, primarily outdoors.
  • Attend daily morning training sessions and role‑plays with your team lead.
  • After the ramp, manage your own territory as an ongoing representative by meeting agreed weekly and monthly sales quotas.
  • Track your activity and results, including the number of doors approached, conversations held, closes achieved, revenue generated, and commissions earned.

Required Qualifications

  • At least 18 years old by May 1 and legally authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Available full‑time for the Summer 2026 ramp (approximately May–August, 6 days/week).
  • Willing to relocate and live in shared housing with teammates during the ramp.
  • Comfortable with commission‑only pay, meeting weekly/monthly quotas, and enduring long days outdoors.
  • Commitment to treating this role as a career path beyond the summer period.
  • Reliable, coachable, and capable of sustaining effort throughout the entire ramp period.

Career Path & Leadership Track

  • Months 0–3: New Rep – Learn the system, meet ramp quotas, and demonstrate consistent performance.
  • Months 4–12: Senior Rep – Achieve higher personal production targets while assisting in training and shadowing new hires.
  • 12+ months: Team Lead – Conduct morning trainings, coach a small team, and earn overrides on your reps’ sales.
  • Top performers may eventually manage a full team or office with significant override potential.
