Base pay range

Entry‑Level Sales Apprenticeship (Leadership Track)

Who This Is For

This role 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.

You start with an intensive Summer 2026 ramp (6 days/week, in‑person, door‑to‑door). If you hit expectations and like the work, this continues as an ongoing, quota‑carrying sales role with a clear leadership track
, not an internship.

This is not a chill job. It’s long hours, outdoors, talking to strangers and hearing “no” a lot. If that turns you off, don’t apply.

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

We want people who are excited about staying on and moving up if the fit is right.

Requirements (read before applying)
  • 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
How To Apply
  • 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.
