  • Maintain strong customer communication as projects progress
  • Develop new opportunities through referrals, networking, community relationships, and prospecting
  • Maintain current knowledge of pool products, construction methods, equipment, and industry trends
  • Represent the company professionally at customer homes, events, and other business activities

Requirements

  • Previous outside sales or consultative sales experience

  • Strong relationship-building and customer service skills
  • Ability to understand technical information and explain it clearly to homeowners

  • Comfortable managing multiple prospects at different stages of the sales process

  • Comfortable using basic computer systems; CRM experience is a plus
  • Valid driver's license and ability to meet the driving requirements of the position

Pay

Expected Total Compensation: $60,000–$70,000+ based on performance (base salary plus uncapped commission). Company vehicle provided for work use.
