Key Responsibilities

Customer Consultation

• Educate customers on consequences, urgency levels, and long-term risks to property and health.

• Present tailored recommendations for:

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

  • Drain solutions: descaling, hydro-jetting, cable clearing, maintenance cleanings.

  • Water solutions: pressure regulation/upgrades, backflow testing/repair, filtration and water quality improvements.

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.

• 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.
