Door-to-Door Sales Representative – Landscaping & Property Services (1099)

Groundly Property Services LLC is looking for a motivated, confident, and personable Door-to-Door Sales Representative to help us grow our customer base throughout Springfield and surrounding Southern Vermont communities.

This is an independent contractor (1099), performance-based sales opportunity for someone who enjoys talking with people, is comfortable approaching homeowners, and wants the opportunity to earn more by producing results.

ABOUT GROUNDLY

Groundly Property Services LLC is a growing landscaping and property-maintenance company serving Springfield and surrounding Southern Vermont communities.

We provide professional lawn care, landscaping, property cleanups, brush and vegetation management, and seasonal property-maintenance services.

Our goal is to build long-term relationships with customers by providing reliable service, professional communication, and quality work.

We are particularly focused on expanding our recurring lawn-maintenance customer base while continuing to grow our landscaping, cleanup, vegetation-management, and seasonal-service work.

THE POSITION

Your primary responsibility will be introducing Groundly Property Services to homeowners and generating legitimate opportunities for our company.

This is not about aggressively pressuring homeowners into purchasing services.

We want someone who can professionally approach homeowners, start conversations, identify potential property-maintenance needs, and connect interested customers with Groundly.

When you find an interested homeowner, you will collect their information and details about the service they need. Groundly will then handle the estimating, pricing, quoting, scheduling, and completion of the work.

You will have the opportunity to earn compensation for generating qualified leads, creating estimate opportunities, and producing customers who ultimately purchase services from Groundly.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Introduce Groundly Property Services to homeowners throughout our service area.

• Visit residential neighborhoods and identify properties that may benefit from Groundly's services.

• Speak professionally and respectfully with homeowners about their lawn, landscaping, cleanup, or property-maintenance needs.

• Generate qualified leads from homeowners who genuinely want to hear from Groundly or receive an estimate.

• Collect accurate customer information, including name, phone number, property address, requested service, and other relevant information.

• Generate opportunities for recurring lawn mowing and property-maintenance services.

• Identify potential landscaping, property cleanup, brush cutting, vegetation-management, and seasonal-service projects.

• Accurately submit leads and customer information to Groundly.

• Represent Groundly professionally while working in local communities.

• Respect homeowners who are not interested and move on professionally without using aggressive or high-pressure sales tactics.

• Help Groundly develop long-term customer relationships rather than simply generating as many names as possible.

You will NOT be responsible for determining final prices or providing estimates unless Groundly specifically authorizes and trains you to do so.

Groundly will handle job evaluation, estimating, quoting, scheduling, customer billing, and service delivery.

COMPENSATION

This is a performance-based independent contractor sales opportunity.

Compensation is structured to reward both lead generation and actual sales results.

Qualified Lead:

$10 per qualified lead.

Completed Estimate:

Additional $15 when your qualified lead results in a completed estimate or site visit with Groundly.

One-Time Projects:

5% commission on qualifying collected revenue from one-time jobs generated through your leads.

Recurring Mowing & Property Maintenance:

10% of the first three months of qualifying collected service revenue for new recurring mowing or property-maintenance customers generated through your leads.

There is no set cap on performance-based earnings.

Estimated earning potential may be approximately $20–$40+ per hour based on individual performance, sales results, services sold, and time worked.

The $20–$40+ figure represents estimated earning potential based on performance and is NOT a guaranteed hourly wage.

Actual earnings will vary depending on lead quality, completed estimates, closed sales, collected revenue, individual performance, and the amount of prospecting performed.

WHAT COUNTS AS A QUALIFIED LEAD?

We care about quality, not simply the number of leads submitted.

For a lead to qualify, the prospective customer should:

• Be located within Groundly's service area.

• Have a legitimate interest or need for one or more Groundly services.

• Agree to be contacted by Groundly.

• Provide accurate contact information.

• Provide a valid property or service location.

• Have the authority to request or approve work at the property.

Simply providing an address, submitting someone who did not request contact, or submitting random homeowner information does not constitute a qualified lead.

Duplicate leads, existing Groundly customers, customers already active in Groundly's sales pipeline, fraudulent leads, canceled work, refunded work, and unpaid invoices do not qualify for applicable commissions unless otherwise agreed upon.

Sales commissions are based on qualifying revenue actually collected by Groundly.

SERVICES YOU MAY GENERATE BUSINESS FOR

Depending on customer needs and services offered by Groundly, opportunities may include:

• Recurring lawn mowing

• Lawn and property maintenance

• Landscaping projects

• Spring and fall cleanups

• Brush cutting

• Vegetation management

• Overgrown-property cleanup

• Shrub and hedge maintenance

• Mulching and landscape-bed work

• Exterior property cleanup

• Seasonal property services

• Other landscaping and property-maintenance projects

Recurring customers and long-term property-maintenance relationships are especially valuable opportunities.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for someone who is:

• Confident approaching homeowners and starting conversations.

• Friendly and personable.

• Professional in appearance and communication.

• Self-motivated.

• Comfortable working independently.

• Goal-oriented.

• Reliable.

• Organized enough to accurately track customer and lead information.

• Comfortable with performance-based compensation.

• Able to handle rejection professionally and continue prospecting.

• Interested in sales, business development, landscaping, home services, or entrepreneurship.

Previous door-to-door sales experience is helpful but is NOT required.

Experience in landscaping, lawn care, roofing, solar, pest control, home improvement, real estate prospecting, canvassing, customer service, or another home-service sales environment may be beneficial.

Someone without formal sales experience who is outgoing, dependable, professional, and comfortable talking with homeowners may still be a great fit.

REQUIREMENTS

• Reliable transportation.

• Working smartphone.

• Reliable communication.

• Ability to travel throughout the local service area.

• Ability to walk residential neighborhoods and spend extended periods outdoors.

• Ability to accurately collect and submit customer information.

• Professional and respectful communication skills.

• Ability to work independently and remain motivated without constant supervision.

Because this opportunity involves neighborhood prospecting, applicants should be comfortable walking and working outdoors in normal seasonal conditions.

SCHEDULE

This opportunity offers flexibility, with prospecting occurring during reasonable hours when homeowners are likely to be available.

The opportunity is results-oriented rather than based solely on the number of hours spent prospecting.

Afternoons, early evenings, and weekends may provide productive opportunities to reach homeowners.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OPPORTUNITY

This position is intended to be structured as an independent contractor (1099) sales opportunity rather than a traditional salaried position.

Compensation is performance-based, and earnings will vary based on results.

Specific contractor terms, commission eligibility, payment timing, and other conditions will be provided and agreed upon before work begins.

WHY GROUNDLY?

Groundly is a growing local property-services company, which means a strong salesperson has the opportunity to directly contribute to the company's growth.

We aren't looking for someone to simply hand out flyers.

We're looking for someone who can create genuine conversations, identify property-service needs, bring Groundly legitimate opportunities, and help us develop long-term customer relationships.

For someone who is motivated by performance and enjoys sales, there is an opportunity to earn additional income as the business generated through your efforts grows.

THIS OPPORTUNITY MAY BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU:

• Enjoy meeting and talking with new people.

• Aren't afraid to knock on doors and start conversations.

• Want compensation tied to your performance.

• Understand that rejection is a normal part of sales.

• Can turn conversations into legitimate customer opportunities.

• Want real-world sales and business-development experience.

• Are interested in helping grow a local company.

• Can work independently.

• Want the upside of earning commissions from successful sales.

HOW TO APPLY

Please apply through Indeed and briefly tell us:

1. Any previous sales, customer-service, landscaping, canvassing, or door-to-door experience you have.

2. Why you're interested in performance-based sales.

3. Your general availability.

4. Whether you have reliable transportation.

5. Why you think you'd be effective speaking with homeowners and generating new business.

Experience is helpful, but attitude, communication ability, professionalism, reliability, and the willingness to produce results matter more to us than having the perfect résumé.
