Job Description

As Austin's footprint rapidly expands into the Hill Country, wildlife encounters are at an all-time high in 2026. We are looking for a highly motivated Wildlife and Pest Control Seller who refuses to lose. This isn't just a job; it's a massive growth opportunity with a fast-growing company, and we want someone who is hungry for that success.

You’ll be the face of Prickly Pear, turning inbound digital leads into loyal customers while hunting down new opportunities. This role blends rugged fieldwork—identifying entry points and designing exclusion methods—with the sharp salesmanship required to communicate lasting solutions.

What You'll Do

• Run Inbound Leads: Jump on inbound leads driven by our modern marketing stack. Austin moves fast, and so do we.
• Hunt for Growth: Generate your own pipeline via networking, cold-calling, and targeted canvassing in high-activity neighborhoods.
• Inspect & Advise: Get hands-on. Inspect attics, crawlspaces, and rooflines to identify wildlife issues, then deliver compelling, no-BS presentations on our exclusion and removal services.
• Close Deals: Negotiate and close to hit individual and team revenue targets.
• Own the Outcome: Keep your customers informed and provide the delivery team with accurate notes.
• Customer Experience: Deliver five-star service from the first handshake to the post-project follow-up.
• Market Intelligence: Keep a pulse on local industry trends and competitor movements to spot new service opportunities.

What You Bring to the Table

• Ethics and Integrity: Our success depends on it. We pride ourselves on acting with integrity and honesty in all we do. We own our successes and our failures.
• Extreme Ownership: You take accountability for your pipeline, your customers, and your results. You refuse to lose.
• Hunger for Success: You are self-motivated, results-oriented, and looking to aggressively grow your career.
• Experience: Proven track record in home services or outside sales (pest control or wildlife removal experience is a huge plus).
• Physical Readiness: Able to tackle Central Texas environments: climbing roofs, navigating tight crawlspaces, and handling hot summer attics to diagnose the situation.
• Salesmanship: Superior communication and negotiation skills. You build rapport easily and close confidently.
• Clean Record: A valid driver's license with a clean driving record.

The Perks & Benefits

• Elite Mentorship: Learn the operational and biological science directly from our General Manager — a 13-year pest industry veteran with a Master's in Entomology from UT Austin and every relevant Certified Applicator license. On the business side, get mentored by an MBA-holding product and marketing executive with 20+ years of experience ensuring our go-to-market strategy is best-in-class.
• Fast-Track Growth: As a fast-growing company, we promote our leaders from within. If you want success, the upward trajectory — including Sales Lead — is yours for the taking.
• Aggressive Compensation: A rewarding base + bonus/commission structure with first year on target earnings of $70k - $90K.
• The Shortest Commute in Central Texas: Take your company-issued vehicle home. Gas card and toll tag included.
• Wealth & Wellness: 401(k) profit-sharing plan, 5 paid vacation in year 1, 10 holidays, sick leave, direct primary care membership, plus phone reimbursement, laptop, and high-quality uniforms provided.
• Continuous Mastery: Paid training and CEUs to keep your licensing current and skills sharp.

Our Commitments

• To Our Team: We treat you with respect, trust you to be the expert we hired, and give you the autonomy to deliver your best. We tell it to you straight — even when it isn't easy to hear — and do everything in our power to help you reach your goals.
• To Our Customers: We're there when they need us, do exactly what we promised, deliver high-quality solutions, and stand behind our work.
