Job description

• Warm. You are friendly and easy to talk to, and callers feel taken care of from the first hello. Homeowners often reach out when something in their home is not right, and your tone puts them at ease.
• Competitive. You like having a number to hit and you keep an eye on where you stand. A goal on the board motivates you rather than stresses you, and you would rather beat last month than coast.
• Decisive. Your instinct on every call is to get the appointment on the calendar. You ask for it directly instead of waiting for the customer to suggest it, and you know how to work through a hesitation without pushing.
• Responsive. You return calls and messages quickly and do not let leads sit. You understand that the first company to call back usually wins the appointment.
• Steady. Several requests coming in at once does not rattle you. You can triage a full queue of calls, texts, and web inquiries, decide what gets handled first, and keep your voice calm through all of it.
• Efficient. You are thorough without letting calls run longer than they need to. You gather what the estimator needs, confirm the details, and close the call rather than letting a five-minute conversation stretch to eleven.
• Knowledgeable. You have a working familiarity with the parts of a house and the words that go with them, so a customer describing a wet basement, a rotted deck board, or a crawl space issue is not speaking a foreign language to you.
• Dependable. You understand your role on the team and follow the process, even when someone asks you to bend it. You will not skip a step or shade a record to make a teammate’s day easier, because you know the whole schedule depends on the information being right.
• Coachable. You welcome call reviews and feedback as a way to improve. You take a critique of a call as useful information rather than a personal criticism.
• Professional. You represent DBC’s Core Values in every interaction, with diplomacy, tact, empathy, and resilience. You are the first impression of the company, and you treat that as part of the job.
