  • Travel to industry trade shows to network and find new business
  • Test and change your sales scripts and emails daily based on what works
  • Fine tune your process to increase your conversion rate
  • Share customer feedback with the founders to help improve the product


Who You Are

  • 2-5 years of quota-carrying, full-cycle sales experience
  • Have sold to mechanical trades business (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical)
  • Proven experience attending industry events, trade shows, or association meetings to build relationships and self-source pipeline
  • You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environment


Compensation & Benefits

  • OTE: $250,000 - $500,000 (uncap commission + tiered accelerator)
  • Equity: 0.5% - 1.0%
  • Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
