$100,000 – $170,000+ OTE (On-Target Earnings)

$5,000/month guaranteed draw during your first 90 days — not a loan, a guarantee.

7.5% commission on every dollar you close. Simple, transparent, uncapped.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

Most home services sales jobs expect you to cold-call your way to a paycheck. This one doesn't.

Peak Sodding is the leading residential sod and artificial turf installation company in North Carolina's Triangle area. We've built our reputation on 200+ five-star Google reviews by doing what most landscaping companies don't: communicating proactively, delivering exceptional quality, and treating every client like they matter.

Here's what that means for you:

Warm, inbound leads fuel your pipeline. Our marketing generates a consistent flow of homeowners actively looking for sod installation. The majority of your pipeline comes from company-generated leads. You spend your time closing, not cold-calling.

You have a dedicated Sales Manager. Weekly pipeline reviews, coaching, and someone who has your back. Not someone who micromanages. You'll be supported, not smothered.

Systems are already built. CRM, quoting tools, SOPs for follow-up, estimation, and handoff all exist so you can focus on selling, not figuring out processes.

The brand sells itself. When you show up to a consultation, the homeowner has already seen our reviews and reputation. You're not overcoming brand skepticism. You're confirming what they already believe.

Average job size is $8,300. You're not grinding out $500 transactions. Each sale is meaningful, and our premium positioning means you don't have to compete on price.

Over time, top performers build additional pipeline through referrals, repeat clients, and networking — but you're never starting from zero.

THE NUMBERS

We believe in transparency, so here's exactly how the compensation works:

Commission Rate: 7.5% of gross revenue on every sale you close

Structure: 100% commission after your ramp period. Your income is driven entirely by your results.

90-Day Guaranteed Draw: $5,000/month minimum income during your first 90 days (non-recoverable). This is not a loan. It's a guarantee while you learn our systems and build momentum.

Commission Timing: 50% paid on signed agreement and deposit. 50% paid on project completion.

WHAT THE MATH ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

Our sales professionals run approximately 450 consultations per year. At our average job size of $8,300 and a 7.5% commission rate, here's what your annual earnings look like based on close rate:

35% close rate — 158 jobs — $1,311,400 revenue — $98,355 earnings

40% close rate — 180 jobs — $1,494,000 revenue — $112,050 earnings

45% close rate (target) — 203 jobs — $1,684,900 revenue — $126,368 earnings

50% close rate — 225 jobs — $1,867,500 revenue — $140,063 earnings

55% close rate — 248 jobs — $2,058,400 revenue — $154,380 earnings

60% close rate — 270 jobs — $2,241,000 revenue — $168,075 earnings

These are real numbers based on actual lead volume and job sizes, not theoretical projections. You can do the math yourself.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You'll own the full sales cycle from consultation to signed agreement. A typical week looks like:

Run 15 to 20 onsite consultations per week, meeting homeowners at their property, evaluating their lawn, and building a solution that fits their needs and budget.

Deliver same-day estimates using our quoting system to provide accurate pricing before you leave the property. Speed matters. The best closers don't let quotes sit.

Close deals onsite whenever possible. Our top performers close 45 to 55% of their consultations at the kitchen table. If the fit is right, ask for the business.

Follow up with discipline. Clients who don't close on the spot get structured follow-up within 24 to 48 hours. You'll manage your pipeline in our CRM with detailed notes and timely touches.

Hand off cleanly to our project management team. When you close a deal, you provide complete and accurate client information so the installation experience matches the sales experience.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This isn't an entry-level position. We're looking for someone who has already proven they can sell and is ready for a platform that lets them earn at a high level.

A proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota. Ideally in landscaping, construction, or home services, but strong closers from adjacent industries will be considered.

Discipline and consistency over flash. We care about your close rate, your follow-up speed, and your CRM hygiene. Not just your best month.

Consultative selling skills. Our clients are homeowners making a significant investment in their property. They need to feel heard, educated, and confident. Not pressured.

Comfort with accountability. You'll have clear KPIs: 45%+ close rate, same-day estimates, 48-hour follow-up. We track them weekly. If that excites you, you're our person.

Integrity that matches ours. We've built a brand on radical honesty. Every promise you make to a client, we have to deliver on. That starts with you.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

First 30 Days: Learn our products, systems, and sales process. Shadow experienced reps. Complete 3+ solo consultations with same-day estimates.

By Day 60: Running 12 to 15 appointments per week independently. Hitting 35%+ close rate on a minimum of 12 appointments.

By Day 90: Full pipeline ownership. 40%+ close rate sustained. Same-day estimates on every consultation. CRM fully managed.

Ongoing: Consistent 45%+ close rate, same-day estimates, 48-hour follow-ups. Weekly reporting to Sales Manager.

LOGISTICS

This is a 1099 independent contractor position. You'll need a reliable vehicle, valid driver's license, and smartphone. No health/dental/vision benefits are provided. You set your own schedule within business hours to meet consultation volume targets.
