Part-Time Sales Representative Dempster Brothers Lawn Care & Landscaping Powell, TN Job Details Part-time $20 - $30 an hour 17 hours ago Benefits Snacks provided Qualifications Google Workspace Teamwork Customer retention Organizational skills Time management Full Job Description Part-Time Sales Representative Job Description The lawn care and landscaping industry has a bit of a reputation problem. Too often, homeowners expect poor communication, unreliable service, and promises that don't get kept. At Dempster Brothers , we're working to change that. We believe homeowners deserve a yard they're proud of and a service experience that's easy, professional, and dependable. Our goal is to set a new standard for lawn care and landscaping in Knoxville and the surrounding area. We're growing — and we're looking for a Part-Time Sales Representative who loves talking to people, solving problems, and turning interested leads into happy Dempster Brothers customers. Where You Come In This is not a cold-calling position . Our marketing generates leads from homeowners who are already interested in lawn care or landscaping services. Your job is to connect with those leads, understand what they want to accomplish, recommend the right solution, and help them take the next step. Some customers can be helped entirely over the phone. Others need us to see their property in person. That means this isn't a position where you'll sit behind a desk all day. You'll spend part of your time handling sales calls and follow-ups from our Powell office or your home, and part of your time meeting customers at their homes, walking their properties, discussing their goals, and putting together solutions that fit their needs. Customers typically come to us trying to answer three questions: How do I get a yard I'm proud of? How difficult is it going to be? How much is it going to cost? Your job is to make those answers simple. You'll talk with customers by phone and meet with them face-to-face. You'll ask questions, listen to what they're trying to accomplish, evaluate their property when needed, explain our services, prepare estimates and proposals, follow up on opportunities, and ultimately close the sale . We don't want pushy salespeople. We want someone who can walk onto a customer's property, make them feel comfortable, ask great questions, identify what they need, confidently recommend a solution, and ask for their business. What You'll Be Doing Answer inbound calls from new and existing customers. Follow up with new leads by phone, text, and email. Schedule and conduct in-person sales appointments at customers' homes and properties . Walk properties with customers to understand their needs, concerns, and goals. Take measurements, photos, notes, and other information needed to build accurate estimates. Identify lawn care and landscaping opportunities while on the property. Recommend Dempster Brothers services that fit the customer's needs and budget. Explain options and proposals clearly so customers understand exactly what they're buying. Prepare estimates and proposals using our CRM and sales process. Present estimates both over the phone and face-to-face. Follow up consistently on outstanding estimates and opportunities. Handle customer questions and sales objections professionally. Ask for the sale and turn qualified leads into new customers. Identify additional services that could improve a customer's property. Keep customer information, property details, photos, notes, and sales opportunities organized in our CRM. Work with our production and office teams to create a smooth handoff after the sale. Help us reach our sales, revenue, and customer retention goals. Provide the kind of friendly, professional experience customers remember. What We're Looking For You may be a great fit if you: Have previous sales, customer service, or phone experience. Are comfortable selling both over the phone and face-to-face . Enjoy meeting new people and building relationships. Are comfortable going to customers' homes and walking their properties. Know how to listen before trying to sell. Can look at a customer's situation, identify the problem, and recommend a solution. Are confident asking for the sale and following up. Can handle objections without becoming pushy. Communicate clearly and professionally in person, by phone, text, and email. Have strong organization and time-management skills. Can manage multiple leads and appointments without letting things fall through the cracks. Take ownership of problems and look for solutions. Have patience, positive energy, and emotional intelligence. Are comfortable learning new technology. Can work independently while still being an active part of our team. Have reliable transportation and are comfortable traveling locally to customer appointments. Experience with CRM software, Google Workspace, sales, estimating, or the lawn care/landscaping industry is a plus, but not required.
