Turn Conversations Into Customers. Build a Career in Sales.

Are you someone who enjoys talking with people, solving problems, and turning a good conversation into a sale? At American Pest, we're looking for an Inside Sales Representative who can connect with customers, understand their needs, and help them find the right solutions.

This isn't a cold-calling position. You'll spend much of your day working with people who have already reached out to us for help. Your job is to ask the right questions, recommend the right services, and turn those opportunities into new business.

You'll join a growing company with year-round demand for our services, paid training, competitive hourly pay, and a commission plan that rewards your success. Whether you're already experienced in inside sales or looking to build on a strong customer service background, this is an opportunity to develop your skills and grow your career.

What You'll Do

As an Inside Sales Representative, you'll manage incoming sales opportunities from customers contacting American Pest by phone, email, text, and online inquiries. You'll learn about their pest concerns, ask questions to understand their situation, and recommend services that meet their needs.

You'll provide estimates, explain service options, address questions and objections, and guide customers through the sales process from their initial inquiry to closing the sale. Along the way, you'll maintain accurate customer information in our CRM, coordinate service details, and follow up with prospective customers to keep opportunities moving forward.

You'll also manage multiple leads and sales pipelines, balancing the needs of customers with the goals of the sales team. Success means more than simply closing a sale. It means helping customers feel confident in their decisions and making sure they have a positive experience with American Pest from the very first conversation.

What You Should Know

This is a fast-paced, phone-intensive sales position where you'll spend much of your day speaking with customers, managing leads, and working toward sales goals. Some conversations will be easy, others will require patience and persistence, and not every opportunity will turn into a sale.

You'll need to be comfortable handling objections, following up with customers, managing competing priorities, and maintaining a positive attitude when things don't go your way. You'll also be learning a considerable amount about pests, treatment methods, service programs, and pricing so you can confidently recommend the right solutions.

If you enjoy the challenge of sales but also care about helping people, you'll find plenty of opportunities to do both.

Grow Your Career

You don't need to arrive knowing everything about pest control. We'll provide paid training to help you understand our services, systems, and sales approach.

As you develop your knowledge and experience, you'll have opportunities to strengthen your sales skills, take on new challenges, and explore advancement within American Pest.

You'll Probably Enjoy This Job If You...

• Enjoy talking with people and figuring out how to help them.
• Like having goals to work toward and appreciate being rewarded for your results.

• Are comfortable learning new technology and keeping track of multiple opportunities.
