Sales Manager — U.S. Cleaning Services

Remote | Part-Time | Long-Term Opportunity | Base Pay + Commission & Bonuses

About Sharpen

Sharpen Agency Cleaning Services is a growing professional cleaning company serving residential and commercial clients in the Philadelphia, Bucks County, and South Jersey markets.

We are restructuring our sales operation and are looking for an experienced, results-driven Sales Manager to take ownership of our sales execution, strengthen our pipeline, and help us generate consistent revenue.

This is not a management-only position.

We need a hands-on sales leader who is willing to prospect, make calls, follow up with leads, close business, and coach our existing Business Development Representative (BDR).

What You'll Do

As Sales Manager, you will be responsible for both selling and leading the sales function.

Your responsibilities will include:

Personally prospecting and generating new residential and commercial cleaning opportunities
Making outbound calls and conducting sales conversations with U.S.-based prospects
Following up aggressively and professionally with inbound and outbound leads
Qualifying prospects and moving opportunities through the sales pipeline
Closing residential and commercial cleaning contracts
Managing and coaching our current BDR
Reviewing BDR calls, activity, appointments, and conversion performance
Developing and improving sales scripts, email sequences, follow-up strategies, and objection-handling techniques
Managing sales activity and opportunities through HubSpot CRM
Maintaining accurate pipeline stages, notes, tasks, and follow-up dates
Developing outbound strategies targeting businesses, property managers, offices, facilities, and other commercial prospects
Building a consistent sales process that can eventually support additional BDRs and sales representatives
Providing weekly sales forecasts and performance reports directly to the CEO
Identifying weaknesses in our current sales process and recommending improvements
Helping establish KPIs and accountability standards across the sales function
Who We're Looking For

We are especially interested in candidates who have:

Proven experience in B2B sales, business development, sales management, or account acquisition
Experience selling to customers or businesses in the United States
Excellent spoken and written English
Strong cold-calling and outbound prospecting skills
Experience personally closing sales—not just managing salespeople
Experience managing or coaching BDRs/SDRs
Strong follow-up and objection-handling skills
Experience with HubSpot or another major CRM
The ability to work independently without constant supervision
Strong organization and pipeline-management skills
A highly accountable, performance-driven mindset

Experience selling commercial cleaning, janitorial services, facilities services, home services, property services, staffing, SaaS, or other B2B services is highly preferred.

What Success Looks Like

We are not looking for someone who simply reports activity.

We want someone who can turn activity into appointments, proposals, contracts, and collected revenue.

During your first 90 days, you will be expected to:

First 30 Days: Learn Sharpen's services, customers, pricing, CRM, and existing sales process; evaluate our current pipeline and BDR; begin prospecting and selling personally; and establish stronger sales processes and accountability.

Days 31–60: Build a consistent pipeline, improve prospecting and follow-up performance, coach the BDR, increase qualified appointments and proposals, and demonstrate measurable revenue generation.

Days 61–90: Demonstrate a repeatable sales process, consistent pipeline management, improved BDR performance, reliable forecasting, and measurable contribution to company revenue.

Exceptional performance can lead to increased responsibility and advancement toward Senior Sales Manager and eventually Head of Sales as Sharpen grows.

Compensation

This position will begin as a part-time remote role of approximately 20–25 hours per week.

Compensation will include:

Competitive hourly/base compensation based on experience
Commission on eligible closed business
Performance and milestone bonuses
Opportunities for increased hours and compensation based on results
Long-term advancement opportunities

We want compensation to reward actual sales performance and revenue generation.

We are looking for a player-coach: someone who can build the strategy, lead the team, pick up the phone, speak with prospects, follow up, and close business.

If you are ambitious, accountable, comfortable being measured by results, and interested in helping build a sales organization from the ground up, we would like to hear from you.
