Let's unlock your potential.
Your ambition has the key. Turn it at Dark Horse Promotions. We hire competitive people, teach them a trade, and turn them into leaders.
Your hustle. Your growth. Your future.
Dark Horse Promotions is a sales and marketing firm that learned a trade. We represent Car Keys Express inside Costco and Sam's Club on the west side of Houston, and we're looking for driven, competitive people to join us.
You don't need a locksmith background or a sales resume. You need effort, a personality that isn't afraid of strangers, and the drive to get better every day.
$600 to $800 a week
To start, while you learn. Pay grows as you do.
No experience needed
We train you on the equipment, the vehicles, and the sale. Coachability matters more than credentials.
Home every night
Every store is in West Houston, a 20 to 30 minute commute. No travel, no hotels.
What the job looks like.
You run our display inside a Costco or Sam's Club. Thousands of members walk past you every day, and a lot of them need a key. The day is three things.
Cutting and programming
You learn to identify, cut, and program keys and fobs for every make and model, at the member's vehicle in the lot, tested before they leave. This is the trade.
Sales
Most people don't know a replacement key can be done at the club. You start the conversation, look up their vehicle, quote it, and close it on the spot. This is the skill.
Training and developing
As you get good, you train the people hired after you. This is the path to leadership, and it starts sooner than you'd think.
Who does well here.
The trade can be taught. These can't. The two things that sink people are lack of effort and being too shy to start a conversation.
Competitors
Athletes, team captains, anyone who's used to keeping score and hates losing. You'll fit right in.
Outgoing
You can walk up to a stranger, start talking, and make them feel taken care of. If that sounds terrifying, this isn't the job.
Effort
You show up every day the display is open and you work the whole day. Nobody here coasts.
Leaders
You want to be the person others learn from. We promote from within and we do it fast.

Questions people ask.
Straight answers. Anything else, ask Carter in the first interview.
Do I need locksmith or automotive experience?
No. We train you on the equipment and the vehicles. Sports, customer-facing work, or anything competitive helps more than a toolbox.
Where will I work?
Inside Costco and Sam's Club stores on the west side of Houston. The store changes weekly, but it's always a 20 to 30 minute commute.
Is there travel?
No. You're home every night.
How am I paid?
$600 to $800 a week to start. Details, including how pay grows with performance, are covered in the first interview.
What's the culture like?
Carter's word for it is family. Small team, everyone knows everyone, and people back each other up. Effort is expected. Ego isn't.
