posted 3 months ago
AKE Safety Equipment, founded in 1989, is a leading manufacturer and seller of fire safety equipment, operating nationally with a vast network of dealers and sales representatives. We are dedicated to providing our salespeople with opportunities to enhance their lifestyles while being part of a larger mission to make a significant difference in the lives of others. We are currently seeking confident, driven, and experienced outside sales representatives located in agricultural areas across the country. Our sales representatives, who we refer to as road warriors, will sell our flagship product, STOP-FYRE, directly to farmers by traveling from farm to farm. Our average sales representatives earn $90,816 annually, with top performers exceeding $200,000 in commission by selling STOP-FYRE, known as The World's Best Fire Extinguisher, within their designated territories. The ideal candidates for this role will have extensive sales experience, a competitive spirit, and a strong connection to the agricultural community, whether through personal experience on a farm or regular business interactions with farmers. Additionally, a background in construction or excavation is highly valued, as is an entrepreneurial mindset characterized by independence, self-motivation, and a business-oriented approach. We are looking for candidates who are performers with a proven track record of success, willing to embrace new ideas, ambitious with a strong desire to succeed, independent, passionate about their work, and trustworthy, aligning with our core values. We maintain a selective hiring process, ensuring that only the best salespeople join our team. Importantly, we do not charge our salespeople any fees to work with us, nor do they need to purchase products upfront to sell. Our sales representatives thrive in a commission-based structure, with significant weekly performance bonuses available. The top three reasons our current sales representatives cite for considering this the best sales career opportunity are: the chance to sell a unique product that can save lives, the freedom to be their own boss with control over their schedule and income, and the potential to earn unlimited income through a lucrative and uncapped commission and bonus plan. We value an independent-entrepreneurial-sales mindset and recognize that the success of our salespeople is crucial to our overall success. Advancement opportunities are available for those who consistently meet their goals. If you believe you have what it takes to help our sales team grow and make a difference, we encourage you to apply online and take the next steps in our selection process.
