About Kitchen Guard
Kitchen Guard is a rapidly expanding national franchise leader in fire and life safety compliance, primarily driven by our commercial kitchen hood cleaning services. We protect commercial kitchens, businesses, and lives. We don't just sell services we sell peace of mind, risk mitigation, and operational excellence to restaurants, facilities, and hospitality groups. We are experiencing exceptional growth, and we have a proven, repeatable sales system engineered to help elite sales professionals dominate their market.

Position Summary
Are you a highly motivated B2B sales professional who thrives on winning? We are seeking someone who is independent, self-confident, and possesses a strong sense of urgency. In this role, you will step into a highly successful franchise framework, acting as the public face of our company getting face-to-face with decision-makers, qualifying new opportunities, and executing a defined sales playbook to close high-value commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning contracts. If you are a closer who wants to leverage a winning system to maximize your earning potential, this is your next big career move.

What You'll Do

• Execute the System: Utilize Kitchen Guard's proven sales framework to predictably scale your territory and drive revenue
• Drive Territory Growth: Actively hunt, make cold calls, and network to capitalize on our exceptional market momentum. Schedule 10-12 kitchen hood system inspections per week via phone, email, and in-person outreach to restaurants and other commercial kitchens
• Conduct On-Site Inspections: Meet face-to-face with business owners to assess kitchen hood systems (including rooftop fans) and convey the value of fire and life safety compliance, effectively overcoming objections
• Negotiate & Close: Decisively negotiate pricing and agreements to close contracts and move forward quickly
• Maintain Momentum: Remain disciplined in implementing our established, successful processes while serving as the primary point of contact for your territory

Why This Opportunity Works: Kitchen hood exhaust cleaning is legally mandated for all commercial kitchens. You're not selling a discretionary service you're persuading restaurant owners and facility managers to use the highest quality provider of these services to meet compliance requirements and improve fire safety. That's a genuine advantage in the market.
