Entry-Level Sales Apprenticeship (Leadership Track)

Who This Is For

Early‑career people who want a long‑term sales path, not just a summer job. You might be coming from retail, fast food, serving, warehouse/blue‑collar work, customer service, or you skipped/left college and want a real career.

What You’ll Do

• Go door‑to‑door in assigned neighborhoods introducing homeowners to our pest control services.
• Use a proven script to present, handle objections, and close new customers.
• Work 6 days per week during the summer ramp, 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 your activity and results like a business: doors, conversations, closes, revenue, and commissions.

Career Path & Leadership Track

This role is designed as a starting point in a sales career, not a one‑off summer.

Typical Progression (timelines Depend On Performance)

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

Requirements

• 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 (staying beyond summer) if both sides are happy with performance.
• Reliable, coachable, and able to stick with a hard thing for the entire ramp period.

Not a Fit If You

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