Job Description
Position Overview
Entry‑Level Sales Apprenticeship (Leadership Track) is designed for early‑career individuals seeking a long‑term sales career—not just a seasonal job. Ideal candidates may come from retail, fast food, serving, warehouse/blue‑collar, customer service, or even those who skipped/left college and are ready for a real career. This role begins with an intensive Summer 2026 ramp involving door‑to‑door sales, daily training, and challenging, long hours outdoors.
Schedule: 6 days per week during the summer ramp (typically 8–10 hours per day) with the potential for an ongoing, quota‑carrying sales role.
Location: United States. Candidates must be willing to relocate and live in shared housing with teammates during the ramp.
Key Responsibilities
- Go door‑to‑door in assigned neighborhoods to introduce homeowners to our pest control services.
- Use a proven script to present services, handle objections, and close new customer deals.
- Attend daily morning training sessions and role‑plays with your team lead.
- After the ramp period, manage your own territory and meet weekly and monthly sales quotas.
- Track all activities and results, including door knocks, conversations, closes, revenue, and commissions.
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 per week).
- Willing to relocate and live in shared housing with teammates during the ramp.
- Comfortable with commission‑only pay, meeting weekly/monthly quotas, and working long hours outdoors.
- Committed to treating this opportunity as a career path beyond just the summer period.
- Reliable, coachable, and able to endure the challenges of an intensive sales ramp.
Benefits & Perks
