Job Description
Inside Sales Representative
Location:Remote (full U.S. Eastern Time overlap, ~8:00 AM–5:00 PM EST)Employment Type:Full-time IC, Occasional weekend availability a plus.Reports to:OwnerGrowth Path:Sales Team Lead / Sales Manager
About the Company
We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based bathroom remodeling franchise specializing in premium one-to-two-day bath and shower renovations for homeowners, many of them 55+. We invest heavily in lead generation, and our success depends on converting those leads into booked in-home appointments that actually happen. This is a high-volume, performance-driven sales environment with real earning upside and a clear path into leadership.
About the Role
This role exists to protect the return on our lead spend. The majority of our leads are paid for — so every lead that isn't worked well is money lost. We need a senior, self-sufficient inside sales rep who can own the phones, convert warm leads into appointments that stick, and keep cancellation and no-show rates low. Because you're senior, you'll also be a stabilizing force on the team: mentoring a junior appointment-setter and helping raise the standard of the whole calling operation.
Key Responsibilities
Lead Conversion (primary)
* Work a high volume of warm, mostly paid inbound and outbound leads by phone
* Quickly engage new inbound leads (speed-to-lead) and re-engage aged leads and prior no-shows through database reactivation
* Qualify leads for homeownership, decision-maker, budget, and timeline before booking
* Book qualified in-home appointments and set them up to hold
* Run confirmation and reminder cadences (call, text, email) to minimize cancellations and no-shows
* Follow up persistently on unsold, undecided, and rehash leads
Performance & Standards
* Hit daily and weekly activity and outcome targets (dials, talk time, contact rate, set rate, sit/issue rate)
* Track and report on personal metrics; adjust approach to keep conversion high
* Contribute to call scripts, objection handling, and follow-up sequences
Team & Pipeline
* Mentor and support a junior appointment-setter; model best-practice call handling
* Keep the CRM clean and current with accurate dispositions, notes, and next steps
* Coordinate with the field/sales team on scheduling and routing
* Handle light admin and follow-up tasks to keep the pipeline moving
Required Qualifications
* Proven inside sales, appointment-setting, or high-volume phone sales experience with a U.S. customer base
* Clear, neutral, easy-to-understand spoken English (our customers skew older and respond best to an easy-on-the-ears accent)
* Track record of hitting conversion and booking targets in a metrics-driven role
* Comfortable with CRMs, dialers/VoIP, and a standard remote setup (headset, reliable high-speed internet, quiet workspace)
* Full Eastern Time overlap and comfort in a fast-paced, quota-based environment
* Coachable, resilient, and organized about follow-up
* AI-literate (comfortable using tools like ChatGPT/Claude in daily workflow)
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience mentoring or leading other reps/setters
* GoHighLevel CRM experience
* Home services, remodeling, or big-ticket in-home sales background
* Experience with power/auto dialers and text/email follow-up automation
Ideal Candidate Profile
You are a confident, resilient closer of appointments who treats every lead like it costs money — because it does. You're warm on the phone, hard to shake on objections, and organized about follow-up. You want to grow into leading a team and are motivated by performance-based upside.
Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
At R24,050/month, this role is on par with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($1,300/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
