Sales Lead — PhoenixCore Business Solutions (East Texas)
1099 Contractor · Commission Only · Field Sales
About PhoenixCore
PhoenixCore Business Solutions is a Texas software company building the back-office platform for independent trade contractors in East Texas. We serve plumbing, HVAC, automotive and diesel repair, landscaping, pet grooming, and nail and spa businesses through a subscription platform that replaces the family labor most small contractors depend on to keep their business running.
The company is founder-led, based in East Texas, and currently working with our first sales lead in the field. We are hiring a second sales lead to grow the customer base across East Texas. This is an early hire at a growing company. You will not be the twentieth rep in a corporate hierarchy — you will be the second, working directly with the founder.
The Role
You will identify, contact, and close small trade contractors as PhoenixCore customers. Most of this work happens in person, at their shop, using our physical demo binders. You will manage your own pipeline, run web research through the platform to find qualified prospects, and hand clients off to a two-week concierge onboarding process handled by the PhoenixCore team.
You will have your own PhoenixCore sales workspace — the same live tool our first sales lead uses — to manage your prospects, draft outreach, track your commissions, and see your pipeline in real time. You are not selling a product you haven't seen. You are running your own book of business inside the platform.
What You'll Do
- Drive to small trade contractor businesses across East Texas and introduce PhoenixCore in person
- Use our physical demo binders to show prospects what the platform does
- Run web research from your workspace to find qualified prospects
- Draft and send personalized outreach emails through the workspace, one at a time, on your approval
- Track your pipeline, follow-ups, and commissions in your own real-time dashboard
- Work bilingually in English and Spanish as the customer needs
- Coordinate with the PhoenixCore founder and onboarding team as prospects convert to customers
Compensation
This is a 1099 contractor position, pure commission, no base salary.
You earn a commission on every tenant you close, with an upfront closing bonus at signing and an ongoing monthly commission for as long as the tenant remains an active customer. Commissions are protected by a 15-day clawback window — if a tenant cancels within that window, the commission is not earned. After that, the ongoing monthly commission continues automatically for as long as the customer stays.
If you leave the company, your book of business continues to pay you monthly commissions for 12 months after departure.
We share the exact percentages in the phone conversation. What we will tell you now: serious performers building steady books can expect five figures in their first year and six figures in year two and beyond as their recurring book grows.
What Success Looks Like at 6 Months
We are hiring someone who can build a qualified pipeline of 40 prospects and close 5 tenants in their first 6 months. This is achievable with disciplined outreach and honest work. This is the bar we hire against.
Who You Are
- Comfortable with in-person B2B outreach — this is not a phone-only or laptop-only role
- Understands small trade contractors, either through experience working in one, being married to one, growing up in one, or extended time working closely with them
- Bilingual English and Spanish — essential for East Texas trade contractors
- Reliable transportation and willingness to drive across East Texas
- Some sales background — could be direct sales, insurance, real estate, ag equipment, or similar transferable experience
- Coachable, honest, and disciplined about your own pipeline
Nice to Have
- Existing relationships in one or more of our six trade verticals
- Previous SaaS or business software sales
- Bookkeeping or office management background
This Is Not
- A phone-based inside sales role
- An MLM or pyramid-style structure — you sell real software, not memberships
- A call center position
- A remote-only opportunity
How to Apply
Send your resume and a short cover email answering this question:
"Describe a time you sold something to a small business owner who wasn't looking to buy. What made them say yes?"
Send to: [email protected]
We read every application. Serious candidates should expect a phone conversation followed by an in-person meeting with the founder and our current sales lead.
