What is this role about?

Our Commercial Sales Professionals play a key role at Terminix working with businesses to ensure they have the right products and services to protect their property from Termites and other pests.

What does a “Day-in-the-Life” look like?

Equipped with a company vehicle and excellent industry training, our Sales Reps are out in the communities Terminix serves meeting with new and existing customers. Sales appointments are sometimes pre-arranged with customers who have already expressed a need, giving a head start on the selling process. Your visit would typically begin with an inspection of the business to diagnose the issue (which may include getting in confined spaces) and be followed by a presentation of a recommended Service Plan to the customer.

• Prospecting for new customers via phone and interactively though tip groups, networking, cross-selling, referrals, and canvassing for large potential customers in your assigned territory
