This is a Job Description for an Outside Sales Professional in Gulfport, Mississippi
Summary: At Terminix Nation, we view sales as the natural result of building strong relationships and solving customers' problems. If you're nodding your head right now, we'd love to meet you. Our sales team is the engine that keeps Terminix running. And we reward the team accordingly with a competitive salary and benefits --- including medical, dental, vision, a 401(k) with company match, and more. There are also opportunities to get trained, gain new skills, and build an awesome career. But first things first. When you start in sales at Terminix Nation, you'll get down and dirty. You'll learn how to inspect and identify infestations (or conditions conducive to infestations) of all kinds of organisms, insects, birds, or other pests. Sounds awesome, right? You'll learn all about what we do and how you can make your clients' homes safer and their lives better. Once you know that, you'll turn your talents to proposals and presentations that result in sales.
Duties & Responsibilities:
Hit the books with training modules and hit the streets with on-the-job training with your teammates. You'll learn product knowledge and sales techniques for selling the full suite of Terminix products. We'll train and support you through state licensing and other company requirements. You'll inspect and assess pest problems with precision and suggest Terminix solutions following company policy and pricing instructions. You must be obsessed with the customer's experience --- delivering exceptional service, following up to ensure satisfaction, and thinking creatively about how to grow the relationship. And if an account is delinquent, you'll need to handle that with grace and effectiveness, too. Of course, you've got to like to sell solutions to problems. You will be expected to meet and greet potential customers to generate new business for the branch. There's an opportunity to grow into a role you're passionate about and fits your skillset --- whether that's management or another opportunity at Terminix.

You'll need to be able to follow instructions for mixing on product labels.
