Once you know that, you'll turn your talents to proposals and presentations that result in sales.As a Residential Sales Professional, here's what you can expect

• You won't be tied to a desk. You'll be out and about - mobile, independent, and growing your career on your own terms. You'll be the face of Terminix to your local community (with the backing of a national brand), and your clients will count on you to protect their homes and their families.
• When you first join Terminix Nation, you'll spend a few months in training. Once you've got that and some state required licenses and certificates under your belt, you'll take the lead with your own customers.

As a teammate, you will be eligible for a 401(k) with company match, company-paid life insurance, tuition reimbursement, and a generous student loan repayment program.

  • 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.
