SUMMARY:

Attention: High-Achieving Professionals! Are you looking for a role in which you can earn unlimited income? On average, our Sales Representatives have earned $90,816 in commission annually. In 2022, our top performer earned $272,777 by embodying our core value of building lasting relationships, having superstar confidence, and most importantly, a passion for keeping people’s lives & livelihoods protected. In this entrepreneurial role, you will have the opportunity to sell a premium, clean agent fire extinguisher directly to farmers by traveling farm-to-farm within your protected territory. With an excellent commission structure and the flexibility to create your own schedule, your hard work and achievements will be reflected in your earnings.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN? 

• Your income is based on a straight commission structure. Our salespeople prefer this because they understand that a safety net does not help them but instead slows them down. This position gives you the independence of a personal business without the risk of investing your own money. Therefore, if you perform well, you will be compensated handsomely.

OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL SALES REPRESENTATIVES:

• Are extremely competitive - You always strive to win and are CONFIDENT in your abilities.
• Have a connection to the Agricultural community - If you grew up on a farm, worked on a farm, or have done business with farmers on a regular basis.
• Bring persistence and hard work to the job - You understand the key to good performance is continuous improvement, hard work, and a willingness to make small sacrifices to get the job done.
• Are entrepreneurial - It is simply in their DNA to be independent, self-driven, self-motivated, and business-minded.
• Are a cultural fit – As a Christian based company, every team member must be in line with our Core Values:
  • Just Get It Done- No excuses
  • Do Right- Success is compounded choices
  • Build Lasting Relationships- Follow the ‘Golden Rule’
  • Improve Obsessively- Never be satisfied
  • Be Thankful- Appreciate all of life, good or bad
• Committed to helping others – Earn a living while being an integral part of something bigger than themselves.

TRAINING:

We do not just throw our salespeople out to the wolves and HOPE they do well. Instead, we give our salespeople the support they need to go out and meet their goals. At AKE Fire Safety Equipment, we understand that it is a team effort. We are here to coach and train you. Because of this, you can expect an encouraging environment that propels you toward success. We want you to succeed, but not at the cost of family, personal time, and health.
