What are the responsibilities and job description for the Home Services Sales Partner (Base + Commission, Co‑Founder Path) position at Ventura Lab AI?
Location: Central New Jersey (hybrid/field-based)
About Ventura Lab
Ventura Lab helps HVAC, plumbing, and other home services companies get more leads and revenue using technology, websites, SEO, and ads. We’ve recently driven strong results for an HVAC & plumbing company in Jersey City and now want to scale this model to more trades.
About the role
I’m looking for a full‑time sales partner to work directly with me (the founder) to open doors with local home‑services businesses and help us discover where our product is the best fit. This is a builder role, not a corporate job. You’ll spend most of your time talking to owners, understanding their pain points, and setting up opportunities for us to help them with leads and on‑the‑job support through our app and services.
What you’ll do
- Talk to at least 50 home‑services businesses per month (owners/decision makers).
- Prospect and build relationships with companies in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, cleaning, landscaping, and similar trades.
- Book and run discovery conversations alongside me to deeply understand their business, challenges, and goals.
- Help refine our offer, pricing, and messaging based on the conversations you’re having.
- Follow up with interested businesses and help close them onto our subscription plans.
- Track your outreach and results in a simple CRM or spreadsheet so we can see what’s working.
What we’re looking for
- Experience working in or selling to home‑services businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, cleaning, landscaping, etc.).
- Existing relationships or the ability to quickly build trust with local owners.
- Comfortable doing outreach: in‑person visits, phone calls, texts, email, social.
- Entrepreneurial mindset: you like building something new more than just “working a job.”
- Strong communication skills and a genuine interest in how trades businesses run.
Compensation
- Base salary: up to 35,000/year.
- Commission: per‑client bonuses and growing residuals on the accounts you bring in (details discussed in the interview). As you build a larger book of small‑subscription customers, your monthly earnings grow with it.
- For the right person who helps us win in this space, there is a potential path to meaningful equity and even a formal co‑founder‑level role over time.
How to apply
Please send:
- A short note about your experience with home‑services businesses.
- A few examples of companies you already know (no need to reveal anything confidential—just trade types and regions).
- A few lines on how you would approach talking to 50 home‑services businesses per month in our first 3–6 months.
