Five months on the East Coast. Our first-year guys averaged $45,000.

Six months of training before you knock a real door

Two one-on-one sessions a week with me — just you and me, working your pitch and your objections until they're automatic — plus one team training a week with the whole roster. That's over fifty one-on-ones before the season even starts, and it's the reason we cap the team at 20 instead of taking everyone who applies.

The weekly team session isn't filler. You're going to live and work alongside these guys for five months, and the teams that already know each other by March have a completely different summer than the ones meeting for the first time in June.

Move to the East Coast

We sell in ProForce's East Coast markets — Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia. Our city gets locked in by February, so you'll know exactly where you're going two months before you pack. Nobody on this team gets told to just show up somewhere.

We organize housing — you don't hunt for a place, sign a lease, or sort it out with strangers. The team lives together in an Airbnb, or splits across two houses if the roster runs big.

It comes out of your checks at $200 a week — roughly $4,400 across the season — and you get all of it back once you service $120,000. Three out of four of our first-year reps hit that. The fourth one didn't, so budget like you're paying it and make $120k the number you chase. It's the same figure where your commission rate steps up, so it's one finish line, not two.

The actual schedule

Five full days, a half day Saturday, Sundays yours. That's nine hours of knocking at a stretch, and it is almost certainly the longest day you've ever worked. The first two weeks are rough — that part is not a secret and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

What I'll tell you is that it stops being rough a lot faster than you'd think, once the pitch is automatic and you stop dreading the next door. That's the entire point of those fifty one-on-ones in the spring.

Commission structure

You get $125 per home, paid upfront as you sell. That's your cash flow all summer — but be clear on what it is: an advance drawn against your final commission, not a bonus stacked on top of it.

The commission itself is a percentage of the revenue your accounts actually generate, and the percentage climbs with your volume — it starts at 20% and steps up from there. I'll walk you through the whole scale on our call.

Here's the part most guys don't understand until August: hitting a new tier reprices your entire book, not just the revenue above it. Three more accounts in the last week can lift the rate on everything you've sold since April. It's why nobody on this team coasts at the end.

Season ends

Five months, April through August — home in time for fall semester. Guys who come back for a second summer make at least 30% more than their first, because they start in April with a pitch that already works instead of spending six weeks building one.

Your backend comes in two checks — one in October, and the balance in January once accounts close out. Plan around that. The largest money from your summer lands while you're back at school, not the week you get home.
