Job Description

Position Overview

The Entry-Level Sales Apprenticeship (Leadership Track) is designed for early‑career individuals seeking a long‑term sales career rather than a temporary side gig. Ideal for candidates from retail, fast food, customer service, warehouse work, or those who have skipped or left college, this role starts with an intensive Summer 2026 ramp (6 days/week, in‑person, door‑to‑door). It is a challenging, fast‑paced position that demands long hours outdoors, resilient communication with prospects, and determination to overcome frequent rejections. Successful performance during the ramp can lead to an ongoing quota‑carrying sales role with clear leadership advancement.

In addition to daily sales activities, there is a defined career path: starting as a New Rep (Months 0–3), progressing to Senior Rep (Months 4–12) with increased targets and shadowing responsibilities, and eventually advancing to Team Lead (12+ months) with coaching duties and override potential.

Key Responsibilities

  • Go door‑to‑door in assigned neighborhoods introducing homeowners to our pest control services.
  • Use a proven script to present services, handle objections, and close new customers.
  • Work 6 days per week during the summer ramp (typically 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 rep, hitting agreed weekly and monthly sales quotas.
  • Track activities and results—such as doors knocked, conversations, closes, revenue, and commissions.

Required Qualifications

  • Must be at least 18 by May 1 and legally authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Available full‑time for the Summer 2026 ramp (approx. 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.
  • Committed to treating this as a long‑term career, not just a temporary role.
  • Reliable, coachable, and prepared to commit to a demanding schedule throughout the ramp period.

Benefits & Perks

  • Clear leadership track with defined progression from New Rep to Senior Rep to Team Lead.
  • Opportunities for significant override potential as you advance in a long‑term sales career.
  • Ongoing training, mentoring, and support to help you excel in a competitive, commission‑based environment.
