St. Louis, St. Charles & Metro East, IL | Full-time | Salary + Incentives

Build Something That Grows

You're the kind of person who can walk into a room and instantly get people talking. You enjoy the chase, thrive on competition, and gain energy from turning a first meeting into a signed agreement. Fast-moving environments sharpen your focus, and when plans shift, you adapt and keep momentum.

If that sounds like you, this role is designed to put your drive, influence, and ambition to work.

About the Role

We are an established commercial and industrial grounds maintenance provider serving the St. Louis and Metro East region. We are known for reliability, professionalism, and delivering high-quality results for large-scale commercial properties, campuses, and industrial sites.

This position plays a key role in expanding our footprint, strengthening customer partnerships, and driving long-term regional growth.

What You'll Do

• Consistently meet — and strive to exceed — contact, outreach, and proposal activity goals.
• Develop tailored proposals, bids, and compelling presentations.
• Represent the company at networking events, industry groups, and professional associations.
• Partner closely with operations for a smooth transition from sale to service delivery.
• Maintain a disciplined sales pipeline with proactive follow-up and strong communication.

What We're Looking For

• Proven success in B2B outside sales, ideally in landscape services, property management, construction, facilities, or commercial services.
• A competitive, results-driven personality who thrives in a performance-based environment.
• Persuasive communicator with strong presentation and negotiation skills.
• Energetic, adaptable, and confident — excels under pressure and adjusts quickly when priorities shift.
• A natural relationship-builder who easily earns trust and converts conversations into long-term partnerships.
• Self-starter who takes initiative and takes ownership of achieving results.
• CRM experience.
• Valid driver's license.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary with performance-based incentives.
• Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k).
• Paid time off and holidays.
• A supportive environment where high performers can grow into leadership opportunities.

Why This Role Matters

This isn't just a sales position — it's an opportunity to take ownership of a growth region, set the pace, and build something lasting. You'll be supported by a respected brand, reliable operations, and leadership that invests in your success.
