Sales Representative

1st Defense Patrol is a Bay Area security services company specializing in commercial security guard solutions for property management companies and B2B clients. We're growing and looking for a driven, full-cycle Sales Representative to own our pipeline and close business across the Greater Bay Area.

This is a field-based, in-person sales role for a true closer. You'll step into an active pipeline of warm-to-hot proposals that need to be brought across the finish line, then build and close net-new business from there. For the right person with strong business development experience and established connections in the Bay Area market, there is a path to a junior partnership with equity.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Take ownership of an existing pipeline of open proposals and active leads — drive each to a clear close or a definitive answer

• Run the full sales cycle: prospect, qualify, present proposals, and close

• Sell in person — travel to client sites across the Bay Area to secure contracts (supported by phone and email outreach)

• Build new pipeline with a hunter mentality, generating and closing your own leads

• Represent 1st Defense Patrol professionally in the field with a polished, client-ready presence

• Develop a complete understanding of our operations so you can sell independently and confidently

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Proven full-cycle B2B sales experience with a strong track record of closing

• Experience selling security services, or selling into property management / commercial accounts, strongly preferred (background with firms such as Allied Universal is a plus)

• Based in the Greater Bay Area with local market knowledge; existing client connections or a book of business is a major plus and may open a partnership/equity path

• Self-motivated, professional, and comfortable closing deals face-to-face

• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license (this role requires regular travel to client sites)

• Minimum of three professional references

WHAT WE OFFER

• Base salary $70,000 plus commission on contract value

• Health benefits available after an initial period (30–90 days)

• Company-provided phone and full marketing/sales support materials

• A flexible, field-based role — be in the Bay Area, but no requirement to report to an office

• Real growth potential, including a possible path to junior partnership with equity for top performers

LOCATION & TRAVEL

This is a remote, field-based role. You'll spend your time in the market closing deals across the Greater Bay Area. There's no in-office reporting requirement — you just need to be based in the area and able to travel to client sites.
