Independent Sales Representative – Remote (Commission Only)
Sales
About the Role
About Grid Guard Protective Services Grid Guard Protective Services LLC provides specialized security and protective services for utility, infrastructure, construction, and paving projects across Georgia. We deploy professional officers to protect worksites, substations, and critical infrastructure so contractors and utilities can operate safely and without disruption. Role Overview We are looking for a motivated Independent Sales Representative to help us grow our footprint with utility companies, infrastructure and paving contractors, and municipal clients across Georgia. This is a fully remote, commission‑only opportunity with uncapped potential and a clear, easy‑to‑understand commission plan tied directly to the revenue you bring in. You’ll focus on opening new accounts and contracts for Grid Guard’s officer staffing and site security services. Once you close a deal, our operations team handles scheduling, staffing, and service delivery while you continue building your pipeline.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities Identify and contact prospective clients (utilities, contractors, municipalities, engineers, project managers, safety managers). Conduct outreach via phone, email, and virtual meetings to set appointments and discovery calls. Present Grid Guard’s services, pricing ranges, and value proposition using company‑provided materials. Work with management to prepare quotes and simple proposals, then follow through to contract signature. Maintain a basic pipeline of prospects and deals and communicate status and next steps. Grow accounts through renewals, add‑on services, and referrals during the commission period. Compensation & Income Potential This is a 100% commission‑only independent contractor role. There is no base pay or draw. You earn 10% of collected revenue from each new account you originate and close for the first 6 months of service. You earn 2% of collected revenue from that same account for the next 6 months (months 7–12). After month 12, commissions on that account stop and it becomes a house account. Important notes: Commissions are paid only after the client’s invoice is paid; there are no upfront payments or advances. Revenue is based on hourly officer billing (typically in the $90–$110/hr range), so income scales with officers assigned and hours worked. Example scenarios can be shared during the interview so you can clearly see earning potential based on typical contracts. This structure lets you build a portfolio of accounts where you participate in 12 months of revenue on every deal you bring in, while keeping the plan simple and transparent. Work Schedule & Location Fully remote – work from home or any location with reliable phone and internet. Set your own schedule, focusing outreach during normal business hours when decision‑makers are available. Ideal for driven, self‑managed sales professionals who want flexibility and performance‑based income. What We Provide Clear service descriptions and pricing ranges for officer staffing and site security. Basic marketing materials and talking points tailored to utilities, infrastructure, and construction. Operational support for scoping jobs, staffing officers, and managing service delivery after contracts are signed. Direction on target markets, high‑value accounts, and upcoming bid or project opportunities. Ideal Candidate Experience in B2B sales, especially in construction, utilities, security, staffing, or similar industries, is a plus but not required. Comfortable with outbound prospecting, cold calling, and building relationships with decision‑makers. Strong communication, follow‑up, and basic negotiation skills. Highly self‑motivated, organized, and able to work independently in a commission‑only environment. Willing to operate as a 1099 independent contractor and handle your own taxes and benefits.
