Overview:

The Inside Sales Representative is a frontline customer-engagement role responsible for converting marketing-generated interest into qualified, scheduled appointments for the assigned Great Day Improvements brand. The role creates the critical connection between lead generation and the field sales experience by responding to prospective customers, understanding their project needs, building confidence in the brand, and guiding them to the appropriate next step.
Inside Sales Representatives operate within a performance-driven Inside Sales environment and follow the approved enterprise sales methodology while applying brand-, product-, system-, and process-specific requirements. Success requires balancing speed, productivity, appointment quality, customer experience, and accurate use of CRM, dialer, and scheduling tools. The role does not replace field sales; it is accountable for creating a strong, qualified handoff that gives the in-home sales team the best opportunity to succeed.

Responsibilities:

Lead Engagement & Appointment Setting

• Respond promptly to inbound customer interest and conduct outbound follow-up on assigned leads, using approved call flows and Inside Sales methodology to maximize customer contact and appointment opportunities.
• Use effective discovery, questioning, listening, and objection-handling techniques to understand customer needs, explain the next step in the buying process, and schedule qualified in-home or other approved sales appointments.
• Balance appointment volume with appointment quality by confirming that scheduled opportunities meet applicable brand, service-area, product, customer, and scheduling requirements before handoff to the field sales organization.
• Maintain disciplined follow-up on open leads and incomplete customer conversations in accordance with established leadcontact strategies and service expectations.

Customer Experience & Brand Representation

• Represent the assigned brand professionally in every customer interaction, creating confidence through clear, accurate, courteous, and engaging communication.
• Set appropriate customer expectations regarding the consultation or sales appointment, including next steps and any information the customer should be prepared to provide.
• Adapt conversations to the customer while remaining consistent with approved messaging, methodology, promotional guidelines, and compliance requirements.
• Protect customer information and follow applicable privacy, consent, communication, and data-handling requirements.

CRM, Dialer & Data Quality

• Use assigned CRM, dialer, scheduling, and related contact-center systems accurately and efficiently to manage leads, customer interactions, appointments, and follow-up activity.
• Maintain complete and accurate customer records, dispositions, appointment details, notes, and follow-up actions so downstream teams have reliable information and leadership has accurate pipeline visibility.
• Follow established lead-routing, contact-cadence, disposition, and scheduling processes to support speed-to-lead, operational consistency, and effective workforce management.

Performance, Coaching & Continuous Improvement

• Consistently work toward established Inside Sales expectations for productivity, contact activity, appointment generation, appointment quality, call quality, schedule adherence, and other assigned performance measures.
• Participate actively in onboarding, methodology training, certification, coaching, call reviews, calibration, role play, and refresher training, and demonstrate application of feedback in live customer interactions.
• Maintain current knowledge of assigned brand products, services, promotions, qualification requirements, systems, scripts, workflows, and process changes needed to communicate accurately with customers.
• Partner with Coaches, Supervisors, Managers, and training resources to identify performance gaps, strengthen skills, and improve consistency over time.

Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities:

• Strong verbal communication and active-listening skills, with the ability to build rapport and guide customer conversations by phone.
• Ability to use discovery, questioning, and objection-handling techniques to move prospective customers toward an appropriate sales appointment without creating inaccurate expectations.
• Ability to work effectively in a structured, high-volume, performance-measured environment while maintaining quality and customer focus.
• Comfort using CRM, dialer, scheduling, and other computer-based systems while communicating with customers; ability to enter information accurately and navigate multiple applications during live interactions.

• Coachability and demonstrated ability to adopt a defined sales methodology, apply feedback, and adjust behavior based on quality and performance findings.
