  • Present tailored recommendations for:

    • Sewer solutions: trenchless lining, dig/replacement, spot repairs.

Proposal & Quoting

  • Prepare accurate quotes and proposals with clear scope, options, warranties, and timelines.

  • Build “Good / Better / Best” packages when appropriate (e.g., descaling vs. lining vs. replacement; basic vs. premium filtration).

  • Walk customers through pricing, permitting needs (if applicable), and financing options.

Sales Process Management

  • Manage the full pipeline from warm lead to closed job.

  • Follow up quickly, handle objections confidently, and close work while maintaining trust and high satisfaction.

  • Maintain urgency on failures or high-risk sewer/water issues without pressure tactics.

Collaboration

  • Partner with drain/sewer techs, camera operators, and field supervisors to validate scope and solution accuracy.

  • Coordinate with dispatch and project teams to schedule jobs, confirm access needs, and align expectations.

  • Communicate job details clearly to ensure smooth delivery and minimal change orders.

  • Maintain an organized pipeline and provide accurate weekly/monthly forecasts.

  • Participate in sales meetings and performance reviews with leadership.

After-Sales Support

  • Build referral relationships and request reviews when appropriate.


Qualifications

Experience

  • 2+ years of proven in-home or consultative B2C sales experience preferred (plumbing, drains, restoration, HVAC, or home services ideal).
