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 come 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, helpshadow/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 (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.
