• Organized and disciplined – you follow up on every lead, keep your CRM clean, and never let a deal fall through the cracks
• Hungry to grow – you want to learn the business, sharpen your skills, and eventually move into a closing role
• Coachable – you take feedback seriously, implement it fast, and improve continuously

Your Experience

• Background in phone-based sales, customer service, or lead generation—real estate, solar, insurance, financial services, home improvement, automotive, or similar industries preferred
• Demonstrated ability to hit call volume and conversion targets in a high-activity environment
• Experience handling objections and keeping prospects engaged even when they push back
• Comfortable working with CRM tools—Salesforce experience is a plus
• Strong verbal communication and active listening skills
• No real estate experience required—if you're driven, coachable, and ready to work, we'll train you on everything else

Compensation

We offer the best of both worlds: a solid base draw for stability, plus uncapped commission so your hard work translates directly into significant income.
