Questions about Pest Control University
What is Pest Control University?
Pest Control University is online pest control sales training from D2D Experts. It has two certifications, Apprentice and Pro, that cover the whole pest sale from the first conversation to the check-out and the referral.
Who is Pest Control University for?
Pest sales reps at any level, reps moving into pest from another sales job, and pest control company owners who want one training system for their team.
What is the difference between the Apprentice and Pro certifications?
The Apprentice prepares a new rep for the field: mindset, work ethic, knocking, the door pitch, ethics and pest sales basics. The Pro covers the full sale: the industry, bugs and pests, services and pricing, advanced pitching, full pest pitches, objections and referrals.
How long does each certification take?
Both are self-paced video lessons that end in a final test, so it depends on how much you watch each day.
Does it cover fresh doors and switchovers?
Both. They are taught as different games, with their own lessons in the Apprentice and Pro certifications.
Do I need experience?
No. The Apprentice assumes no pest or sales background.
Do I need a license to sell pest control?
Rules vary by state, and some states have requirements for people who sell or solicit pest control services. Check with your state regulator and your company before you start.
Can pest control companies add their own training?
Yes. Company accounts can add their own services, pricing, scripts and trainings to the library.
Is Pest Control University the same as D2D University?
Pest Control University is the pest-specific program from D2D Experts. It uses the D2D Experts sales foundation and adds pest content taught by pest sales experts.
