About The Position

This role is for an Outside Commercial Sales Professional within Terminix Nation, part of the Rentokil family of companies. The position focuses on building relationships and solving problems for clients, rather than traditional high-pressure sales tactics. Salespeople are described as the engine of the company and are rewarded with competitive compensation and benefits. The role involves learning about pest identification and solutions, then applying this knowledge to create proposals and close sales. It is a mobile and independent role, where the salesperson acts as the face of Terminix in their local community, protecting businesses and livelihoods. The initial phase includes several months of training, followed by obtaining state-required licenses and certificates. After this, the salesperson will manage their own customers and receive competitive pay and benefits. The company fosters a strong sense of community and encourages giving back through volunteering and donations. Training is provided by experienced professionals, and the company covers the cost of obtaining necessary licenses.
