Telemarketing:

There are no paid telemarketing positions at this time. Check back with us in the summer when we sometimes need extra help.

To apply for this position, simply Contact Us and let us know the best time to contact you.  A representative will call and ask you to read the sales script printed at the bottom of this column.  A resume is not required but may be helpful, especially if you have sales experience.   First and foremost, we want to determine if you have a winning sales personality.  Please speak clearly, enunciate properly and let your charisma shine through. (Note: Telephone agents will not be able to rate your performance or tell you if you’ve been selected.  Their role is simply to record your “audition” and forward it to our human resources department. If you wish to provide a contact letter or resume, please send attachments to bugshateit@gmail.com.  DO NOT call our main number and ask for a telephone audition. Telephone auditions are given by appointment only.

Sales Script

Hello. May I speak to the head of the household?

(Phone agent will say, “I’m the head of the household.”)

My name is __________ from Wholesale Pesticides Dot Com.  Do you have a moment to  learn how to save a fortune on pest control, indoors and out?  I promise it won’t take long, and there’s no pressure whatsoever.

(Phone agent will say, “Okay.”)

Wonderful.  I’d like to discuss an all natural pest control formula that’s rated number one by the United States Department of Agriculture and Endorsed by Animal Wellness Magazine.  The formula is so effective that Terminix ordered 5,000 gallons for use against bedbugs in hotels.  It’s strong enough to battle hardcore cockroach and bedbug infestations yet safe enough to apply directly to pets for fleas and ticks.  Would you like to hear more?

(Phone agent will say, “yes.”)

The average pest control operator charges between $1,000 and $4,000 for a single family home, depending on square footage and technique used.  We can do better!  Our top selling item is an indoor eradication kit that treats five average sized rooms for $136.  We can also teach you how to control mosquitoes and crop pests using our outdoor formula.  We’ve collected a number of testimonials from parks and recreation groundskeepers around the country.  Those testimonials are available on our website. Would you like some time to review these materials, or would you prefer to place an order right now?

(Phone agent will say, “I’d like to place an order now.”)

Great!  Just let me transfer you to customer service. One moment please.

(Phone agent will say, “okay.)

Your telephone audition is now over.  Phone agent will terminate the conversation immediately.
