Territory Sales Representative

to join our residential sales team. In this role, you’ll go

door-to-door

in targeted neighborhoods, connecting with homeowners and introducing them to the power of Socket’s fiber internet. You’ll educate, engage, and close sales that directly support your neighbors—and your goals.

Then, it’s time to head into the field—walking neighborhoods, knocking on doors, and having real conversations with potential customers. Some people will be ready to sign up on the spot, while others might need more info or a follow-up. You’ll log activity, stay positive, and keep moving.
