Job Description:

We’re seeking an Inbound Sales Representative with a knack for closing deals and a passion for customer service. You’ll manage inbound leads, meet with customers at their homes to create quotes and help us redefine the residential painting sales process.

What’s an average day like? You will be taking on 10-20 new warm inbound leads and have 20-40 outbound follow-ups with people you’ve previously spoken with. Our customers are mostly homeowners with some larger-scale commercial opportunities available each quarter. Your priority will be to fill your schedule with the highest-value leads for in-person appointments each week.

• Use our sales estimating calculator to provide accurate estimates.
• Meet and exceed monthly sales targets.
• Follow up with all work not closed on the spot.
• Provide an extraordinary customer experience.
• Perform field visits to ensure high-quality work and customer satisfaction.

Qualifications:

• Sales experience in the residential paint industry (or similar home improvement verticals) is preferred but not required.
• Has a successful track record of phone or in-person sales and is a closer.
• Strong computer and software skills.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Must be able to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and be punctual.
