Cousino Restoration & Environmental is seeking a Territory Sales Representative to drive new business in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. This field-based role focuses on building a durable book of business with contractors, property managers, and insurance professionals, leveraging a proven referral system.
You will hunt and farm, manage a robust pipeline in CRM, and travel across Toledo, Monroe, Lenawee Counties, and surrounding areas.
The relationship you build this month can still be sending you work a year from now.
Most sales jobs reset every month. You close what you can, the counter goes back to zero, and you start hunting again.
This role works on a different curve.
You'll be building a network of professionals who run into property damage again and again as part of their work. Each one you earn becomes a source of future opportunities, not a single sale. Year one is about building that network. After that, the network starts working alongside you.
That's what the $100K+ income potential is built on: a book of business that grows heavier with every partner you add.
The Math Behind the Model
Think about who sees water, fire, and storm damage before anyone else does.
A plumber may walk into a flooded basement several times a month. A property manager may be responsible for hundreds of units. An insurance agent talks to property owners every single day. A facility manager may oversee an entire portfolio of buildings.
When any one of them trusts you, every loss they encounter is a chance for them to call you. Win ten of those relationships and you have ten people creating opportunities. Win forty and you have a territory.
The people who see the damage first
The people responsible for a lot of property
The people who guide the claim
There's no shortcut here. This is outside sales, and the network gets built one conversation at a time.
Open doors. Prospect by phone, cold outreach, and in person. Walk into contractor shops, insurance agencies, and property management offices across Toledo, Monroe, and Lenawee and introduce yourself.
Earn trust. Run consultative conversations, not product pitches. Learn how a partner handles losses today, then show them our emergency response, mitigation, and restoration capabilities.
Stay visible. Attend association meetings, networking functions, and after-hours industry events. Follow up consistently so you're the first name people think of.
Keep score. Track your pipeline, activity, and follow-up in CRM, using phone, tablet, and web-based tools while you're on the road.
Hand off well. Work with operations and leadership so that when a referral turns into a project, the partner who sent it is glad they did.
You'll do both hunting and farming. The farming only pays off if you keep hunting.
You won't be figuring this out by trial and error. You'll have:
That support is real. So is the expectation that you'll be the one creating the opportunities. Someone waiting for leads to arrive will struggle here.
Over your first 6–12 months, success looks like:
A referral partner only sends work to someone who makes them look good. That's where the company behind you matters.

Work Location: On the road
You'd rather spend a year building something that keeps paying than chase quick wins that disappear. You're comfortable starting a territory from zero. You plan your own week, hold yourself to a number, and take coaching without needing someone to direct every step. You can tell which prospects deserve the most time, and you present clearly to business owners and managers.
