Franklin Brothers Landscaping is a family-owned Indianapolis landscaping company. We started in 2020 and now handle installation, maintenance, and snow & ice management for residential to commercial properties that include Fortune 500 sites and 24/7 distribution and manufacturing facilities.
Our culture is built on developing people, not just filling jobs. We're small enough that everyone here knows each other, and growing fast enough that people who take on more responsibility keep moving up. We run electric equipment on our job sites, make our own liquid brine instead of spreading rock salt, and use AI tools across the office.
The Opportunity
This is our first dedicated sales hire. You'll build the sales function from the ground up rather than inherit someone else's system. You'll respond to and close inbound leads, develop outbound opportunities in commercial maintenance as well as snow & ice, and help shape the pricing, systems, and standards this role will run on for years.
If you're motivated by commission, energized by building relationships, and want your work to directly move a business forward, we want to talk to you.
Compensation
- Total compensation composed of base salary + commission
- On target earnings ranging from $60,000-80,000, with room to grow as you ramp.
- Annual performance bonus tied to company results.
What You'll Do
Sales & Client Relationships
- Respond to inbound leads quickly and professionally, turning quotes around fast and following up until they close.
- Meet with clients in person to understand scope, build trust, and move opportunities forward.
- Prepare estimates using our established pricing templates, and work with a landscape designer on design/build opportunities.
- Prospect and close commercial maintenance, snow & ice, and related service opportunities.
- Own the client experience from first contact through completed job, coordinating with operations so what gets delivered matches what was sold.
- Build long-term commercial relationships focused on retention, expansion, and referrals.
Systems & Reporting
- Keep your pipeline and client records accurate and current. We run on a modern CRM and use AI-enabled systems.
- Track and report KPIs: pipeline value, close rate, gross margin on sold contracts, quote turnaround time, and client retention.
- Meet weekly with ownership to review open opportunities, closed deals, and priorities.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone motivated to sell who can build and keep client relationships. Prior experience in the landscape industry helps, but you do not need a landscaping background.
- Sales experience required; two or more years preferred. B2B or service-industry sales is a plus.
- Consultative selling and prospecting ability, with a genuine drive to close and a professional presence in front of clients.
- Strong communication and follow-through.
- Comfortable managing your own pipeline in a CRM and working with minimal supervision.
- Organized enough to juggle multiple opportunities without dropping details.
- Comfortable with technology and willing to use AI tools day to day.
- Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable transportation to our Indianapolis office.
- Willingness to learn our services, pricing, and process quickly.
- Must pass a pre-employment background check and be authorized to work in the United States.
Nice to have, not required: experience in landscaping, home services, construction, or another field-service industry, and the ability to read basic landscape plans.
Benefits
- 401(k) with company match
- Competitive paid time off, paid sick time, and paid holidays
- Consistent, year-round work
- Opportunities for professional development
