Please Note:  Other companies have lowered their recruitment standards to fill open positions but we have made it tougher to join our company because our most successful team members are fighters.  We have an exceptional culture, a strong supportive sales team to be a part of and are only accepting the best talent to join us.

Founded in 1989, AKE Safety Equipment has evolved into a market-leading fire safety equipment manufacturing and sales company. We operate on a national scale, have grown 14X since 2010, and have become a household name in our target market. We are committed to providing our salespeople with an opportunity to improve their lifestyle while being an integral part of something bigger than themselves by making a difference in the lives of good people.

We are looking for confident, driven, experienced outside sales representatives located in agricultural areas nationwide. Our sales representatives are road warriors, selling STOP-FYRE directly to farmers by driving farm-to-farm.

On average our Sales Representatives have earned $90,816 in commission selling STOP-FYRE ® The World's Best Fire Extinguisher ® direct to farmers within their protected territory.  In 2022, our top performer earned $272,777.

·   Have a connection to the Agricultural community - Either they grew up on a farm, worked on a farm, or have done business with farmers on a regular basis.

·   Have a background in construction and/or excavation - Worked in construction, sold to the construction industry, sold for a construction company, or owned their own construction business.

PLEASE understand:

·   Bottom line is: no surprises, no fees, no funny business - no BS.

Our sales representatives 'get' how business works, and as a result thrive in and appreciate the sales position at AKE. This is why our sales representatives are compensated with a 100% straight commission structure. Our sales representatives are also offered significant weekly performance bonuses.

Top 3 reasons why our current sales representatives say we offer the best sales career opportunity available today:

·   Sell a Unique Product - Our sales representatives get the chance to help people and potentially save a life while representing a company and brand to be proud of.

·   Freedom to be their Own Boss - Controlling their own schedule, income, and destiny while still having a very strong team backing them up in this 1099 outside-sales position.

·   Earn Unlimited Income - They have the opportunity to earn as much as they desire because our commission & bonus plan is both lucrative and uncapped.

True hunter salespeople want the opportunity to earn an income that is ONLY limited by their performance because THEY perform! The great ones do not want a safety net because they realize there are always strings attached.
