You talk to me, not a recruiter.

Why reps switch

Ownership

Own part of what you build

Leadership at Evo comes with real equity. The goal is to turn reps into owners, not to keep them renting a job.

Accounts that stick

A retention team working your customers

An in-house team keeps the accounts you sell serviced and on the books after you leave the door.

Access

A founder who picks up the phone

You're not a number on a leaderboard. Reps and leads work directly with me and my partner Ryan.

Built in three summers

$20Mof serviced revenue

Equity vs. a marketing deal

Same effort, same years. Which payout wins?

Equity path by 2034$6.04M
Marketing deal by 2034$0.92M
Equity advantage6.6x
Cumulative value to partner
Equity path (value + dividends)Marketing deal (cumulative income)
Cash dividends paid to partner by 2034$0.83M

Projections for illustration, based on Evo's internal model. Not a guarantee of income, equity value or dividends. Actual results vary, and terms depend on the role. I'll walk you through the real numbers on the call.

Why I left M&A

I was doing M&A at Wells Fargo in New York, watching owners sell companies built by people who never owned a piece of them.

So my partner Ryan and I built Evo differently. The people who build a branch should get to own part of it.

If you're good at doors and tired of making someone else rich, let's talk.

How switching works

  1. Book a call

    15 minutes. A conversation, not an interview.

  2. Talk real numbers

    What you sold last summer, what you want to make, and what the path looks like here.

  3. Pick your market

    We match you or your team to a branch with room to grow.

  4. Start knocking

    Training, territory, and a support team ready before day one.

Pick your path

Rep

You can sell and want a better setup.

  • Training and scripts
  • Established markets
  • Clear path to lead

Team lead

You have people who'd follow you.

  • Bring your team
  • Override on your team
  • Track to branch partner

Branch partner

You're ready to run a market.

  • Run your own market
  • Equity in what you build
  • Evo back office behind you

Questions reps ask

I'm already signed with another company. Can I still talk?

Yes. Plenty of good reps talk to us while they're somewhere else. We'll talk timing and what makes sense for you.

Do I need pest control experience?

No. If you can sell, we'll teach you the product. Experienced reps and team leads just get there faster.

What does "ownership" actually mean?

Leadership roles at Evo come with real equity, not just a title. The specifics depend on the role, and I'll walk you through them on the call.

Can I bring my team?

Yes, and that's the conversation I most want to have. Team leads who bring people are the fastest path to running a branch.

Where would I be working?

One of our eight markets, or a new one if you're building a team. We'll figure out the right fit together.

Summer 2027 rosters are being built now.

The best territories go to the people who commit early. Grab 15 minutes and see if Evo fits.
