About Silver Star

Silver Star is a full-scale, end-to-end security solutions provider built on decades of operational excellence. Our foundation in traditional armed guard services has evolved into a sophisticated, technology-driven security organization delivering integrated solutions across physical security, electronic systems, and advanced threat detection.

Today, we design, deploy, and manage cutting-edge security ecosystems that include AI-enabled video analytics, access control systems, alarm monitoring, gunshot detection technology, and drone-based surveillance. We serve clients who demand more than protection; they demand intelligence, integration, and foresight.

As we continue to scale, we are seeking high-caliber sales professionals who want to build meaningful client relationships, sell complex solutions, and grow alongside an organization shaping the future of security.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Sales Representative to drive new business growth while expanding existing client relationships. This is a true “hunter” role designed for individuals who thrive in a performance-driven environment, value autonomy, and want uncapped earning potential.

You will be supported by a proven brand, robust marketing and lead-generation tools, a full operational and technical team, and leadership that understands how to support sales success.

Key Responsibilities

Market Intelligence & Strategy:

  • Stay current on security industry trends, emerging technologies, competitive offerings, and customer needs.
  • Leverage market insights to identify opportunities, refine sales strategies, and position Silver Star as a trusted security partner.

Prospecting & Lead Generation:

  • Identify and qualify prospective clients using tools such as ZoomInfo, LinkedIn, and industry databases.
  • Execute a proactive outreach strategy including cold calling, in-field prospecting, networking events, and digital engagement.
  • Build and manage a consistent pipeline of qualified opportunities.

Client Relationship Management:

  • Develop strong relationships with decision-makers and stakeholders.
  • Conduct discovery conversations to understand client risks, operational challenges, and business objectives.
  • Position yourself as a consultative advisor, not a transactional salesperson.

Sales Execution:

  • Secure and lead sales meetings, discovery sessions, and solution presentations.
  • Tailor proposals and presentations to client-specific needs, pain points, and budgets.
  • Manage the full sales cycle from initial outreach through contract execution.

Pipeline & CRM Management:

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all sales activities, opportunities, and forecasts in the CRM.
  • Actively manage goals, pipeline health, and performance metrics.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  • Partner closely with operations, engineering, R&D, talent acquisition, and executive leadership to ensure solution alignment and delivery excellence.
  • Provide market feedback to support continuous improvement of products, services, and sales processes.

Our Values:

At Silver Star, how we operate matters as much as what we achieve. Every team member is expected to embody our core values:

  • Integrity – Do the right thing, always
  • Excellence in Service – Deliver beyond expectations
  • Pride & Professionalism – Represent our brand with confidence and care
  • Personal Accountability – Own your results and commitments
  • Respect – For clients, teammates, and communities

Why Silver Star?

  • Uncapped earning potential with a  clear path to growth
  • Exposure to cutting-edge security technology and complex solution selling
  • Strong operational, technical, and executive support
  • A company that is growing, evolving, and investing in its people
