Benefits Start Day 1 for Full-Time Colleagues - No Waiting Period!

For more information about our benefits, see below!

We are proud to be a member of the Rentokil family of companies, the global leader in Pest Control and other services across more than 90 countries. We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner to many of the world's leading brands and serve consumer and business customers across multiple industries. We are extremely proud of our legacy of excellence and constantly work to fulfill our mission to "protect people, enhance lives, and preserve the planet."

What do our Pest Control Consultants do?

The primary purpose of this role is to sell the company's Residential Pest Management Services and Products to new and existing residential customers, while maintaining a customer-focused service to grow the business. You’ll be the face of our national brand to your local community, and your clients will count on you to protect their homes and their families. This includes assessing customers' needs by consulting with the customer and performing an analysis using expert knowledge of the company's products and services that result in the sales of the Organization's pest control solutions.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

• Visually inspect homes for pests, pest harborage, pest entries, etc. Based on assessment findings, sell pest control solutions as well as preventative maintenance for residential customers.
• Collaborate with our Customer Service Center, Inside Sales department, and Technicians for increased opportunities.
• Partner with Branch Manager to identify revenue streams with our current base and service specialist engagement. Develop proposals for customers to resolve existing pest issues while also proposing additional enhancements to pest household services.
• Complete Home diagram using Sales CRM and provide it to ensure clear understanding of customer home and possible challenges.
• Follow up on past proposals to close sales opportunities.
• Provide expert knowledge to new service installations to ensure the job is completed satisfactorily.
• Complete daily activities and sales performance using the company sales CRM.

Essential Job Functions:

We’re not going to sugarcoat it. The essential functions of this job have some physical demands (of course, reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.) Here’s what we mean:

• You’ve got to be able to move up to 10 lbs. regularly and 11–20 lbs. frequently, whether that’s lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or otherwise repositioning objects.
• You’ll move around a lot — regularly sitting, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and crawling. You’ll go up and down stairs, ladders, scaffolding, ramps, and poles. And you’ll need to keep your balance when walking, standing, or crouching on narrow, slippery, or moving surfaces. (You’ll definitely get your steps in.)
• You must be comfortable dealing with different pests (spiders, flies, mosquitos, rodents, etc.), as well as being required to go into small spaces such as basements, crawl spaces, attics, etc.
• You must be able to safely operate a motor vehicle and make sure it and all other equipment is kept clean.
• Sometimes you’ll need to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), like an OSHA-compliant respirator, and you’ll need to be okay with regularly working in confined spaces, narrow aisles, or passageways (you know, where critters live).

What do you need?

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• A valid driver’s license from your current state of residence (Company vehicle and gas card provided).
• Strong social, customer service, and communication skills — in fact, we’d be really impressed if you came to this role with related experience and/or training in sales.
• Prefer at least 1-2 years of pest technician or sales experience.
• Travel up to 100% of time within assigned territory(s).
• Must pass pre-employment background screen.
