Role & Opportunity
As we expand our commercial footprint across all four territories, we are seeking a high-energy, results-driven Commercial Sales Representative to accelerate growth in the property management and multi-family housing sector. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build a substantial recurring commission income by solving a real, visible problem for property managers across the Chicago metro area.

Position Overview
The Commercial Sales Representative is responsible for generating, developing, and closing new commercial accounts across all Chicagoland territories. This is a relationship-driven, field-forward sales role that blends prospecting, consultative selling, and long-term account management.

You will be selling recurring service contracts — not one-time jobs.

Every contract you close continues to pay commission for the life of that first-year contract value. Your book of business compounds over time.

Apartment complexes and multi-family residential communities

Homeowners Associations (HOAs) with common green spaces

Property management companies overseeing multiple properties

Regional property managers responsible for portfolios of 5+ properties

Municipal clients including parks departments and public recreation areas

Dog-friendly retail centers, office parks, and shared commercial campuses

Key Responsibilities
Prospecting & Lead Generation

Identify and build a robust pipeline of commercial property targets across all Chicagoland territories

Research property management companies, HOA boards, and apartment operators using LinkedIn, local business directories, CoStar, and driving-based prospecting

Maintain an organized CRM-ready prospect list with contact details, property size, number of units, and outreach history

Generate a minimum of 20 new prospects per day and 100-150 per week during ramp-up phase, prioritizing high-level decision makers with oversight of multiple properties

Outreach & Appointment Setting

Execute multi-channel outreach including cold calls, LinkedIn direct messages, email campaigns, and in-person drop-ins to property management offices

Craft compelling, personalized outreach messages that speak to the specific pain points of property managers: resident complaints, liability concerns, property appearance, and compliance

Send a minimum of 10 LinkedIn messages per day to regional managers and decision-makers

Schedule and confirm 10-15 property walkthroughs per week

Prioritize outreach to regional managers and decision makers with oversight of multiple properties to maximize contract value and service territory coverage

Property Walkthroughs & Consultative Selling

Conduct professional on-site walkthroughs to assess the scope of service needed (number of stations, common areas, visit frequency); assessments may be organized by territory rather than by individual salesperson.

Present tailored service proposals based on property size, dog population, and budget

Educate prospects on health, liability, and resident satisfaction benefits of professional pet waste management

Overcome objections confidently and move prospects through the sales funnel efficiently

Contract Closing & Onboarding

Complete all required contract paperwork and coordinate with operations for smooth service launch

Ensure new accounts are properly onboarded and the client relationship is established from day one

Relationship Management & Account Growth

Serve as the primary point of contact for commercial accounts during the initial service period

Conduct periodic check-ins with property managers to ensure satisfaction and identify expansion opportunities

Proactively identify upsell opportunities, including additional properties within a management company’s portfolio

Generate referrals by building genuine trust with regional managers who oversee multiple properties

Ideal Candidate Profile

Self-motivated and highly organized with the ability to manage an independent daily workflow

Strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills — comfortable approaching and building rapport with property managers, building owners, and decision-makers

Reliable transportation for field-based property visits across all Chicagoland territories

Comfortable with technology: email, LinkedIn, basic CRM or spreadsheet tracking

Professional appearance and demeanor during client-facing interactions

Preferred Qualifications

1-3+ years of B2B sales, field sales, or account management experience

Familiarity with property management, real estate, facilities management, or HOA industry

Experience with recurring-revenue or contract-based sales

Demonstrated ability to prospect independently and build a pipeline from scratch

LinkedIn Sales Navigator or equivalent prospecting tool experience is a plus

Personality & Work Style Fit

You are energized by the hunt — you genuinely enjoy prospecting and meeting new people

You are comfortable with rejection and treat it as data, not discouragement

You are a self-starter who can structure your own day without close supervision

You think long-term — you invest in relationships that pay off over months, not just days

You are competitive and motivated by clear, measurable earning goals
