Gutter Sales Rep
About the Role
We are a full-service rain gutter and gutter guard franchise that repairs, installs, and maintains Seamless Gutters, Gutter Guard, Specialty Gutters and many other services. We are a performance-based company with clearly defined career paths for each of our employees. We fully invest in our workers and believe it is important to listen to them and create a comfortable work environment. If you like a shorter sale and the opportunity for a one-call close, this is a great business model. 80% of the people we meet with contact us directly and want/need our services. We do not do 4-hour hard/pushy sales closes — we educate our clients, show them the best solutions for their situations, and sell them what they need. Our current sales team sells over 1 million dollars per year each, which gives them a great salary as well as a balanced family life.
