Entry-Level Sales Apprenticeship (Leadership Track) (Hendersonville)

Forge Marketing seeks early‑career candidates who are ready for a long‑term sales career. This is not a summer internship; it is a full‑time apprenticeship with a clear leadership track.

Individuals who want a long‑term sales path, not just a short ride. Ideal candidates may come from retail, fast food, customer service, warehouse work, or have left school and are looking for a real career.

• Go door‑to‑door in assigned neighborhoods introducing homeowners to pest control services.
• Use a proven script to present, handle objections, and close new customers.
• Work 6 days per week during the summer ramp (May–August), typically 8‑10 hours per day, mostly on your feet and outdoors.
• Attend daily morning training and role‑plays with your team lead.
• After ramp, run your own territory as an ongoing rep, hitting weekly and monthly sales quotas agreed with your manager.
• Track activity and results like a business: doors, conversations, closes, revenue, and commissions.

This apprenticeship is the starting point of a sales career, with the following progression:

• Months 0–3:
  New Rep – learn the system, hit ramp quotas, prove you can produce.
• Months 4–12:
  Senior Rep – higher production targets, help shadow/train new hires.
• 12+ months:
  Team Lead – run morning trainings, coach a small team, earn overrides on your reps’ sales.
• Top performers can eventually run a full team/office with significant override potential.

• 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 ramp.
• Comfortable with commission‑only pay, weekly/monthly quotas, and long days outdoors.
• Intend to treat this as a career track if both sides are happy with performance.
• Reliable, coachable, and able to stick with a hard thing for the entire ramp period.

• Need guaranteed hourly pay.
• Can’t relocate or live with teammates.
• Only want a short‑term internship or side gig.

• Answer the application questions:
  • Your current or most recent job and how long you’ve worked there.
  • Why you want a long‑term sales career instead of “just a job.”
  • Why you believe you can hit quotas and stick out a full summer ramp in door‑to‑door sales.
• If you’re a fit, we’ll reach out within 48 hours to schedule a short Zoom interview.
