SUCCESS PROFILE – WHO SHOULD APPLY

The Hunger

You thrive in prospecting and closing. You love the hunt. You're not afraid to pick up the phone, knock on doors, or follow up relentlessly until you get a 'yes' or a definitive 'no.' You see long sales cycles as an advantage—time to build trust, increase deal size, and earn bigger commissions.

The Motivation

You are financially driven and transparent about it. You know exactly how much commission you can make at 100%, 110%, 125% quota attainment. That knowledge drives you daily. You celebrate wins loudly and learn from losses fast. You want to be the top earner on the team.

The Experience

You have 3–5+ years of outside sales experience closing deals in the $10K–$100K range (B2B, luxury B2C, enterprise). You understand consultative selling, multi-stakeholder alignment, and long decision cycles. You're comfortable with variable compensation—no guaranteed big paycheck, but unlimited upside for hungry performers.

The Mindset

You're coachable and competitive. You listen to feedback, improve your game, and want to win. You have impeccable follow-through—prospects feel heard and valued after every interaction. You honor commitments and return calls/emails same-day. You're tech-literate and can pick up CRM, D-Tools, and smart home platforms quickly without hand-holding.

COMPENSATION STRUCTURE

Base Salary:

$55,000–$65,000 annually (experience-dependent)

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3–5+ years of outside sales experience (B2B, high-touch B2C, or enterprise). Track record of hitting quota and closing deals in the $10K–$100K range.
• Proven prospecting and self-sourced lead-generation skills. You can build your own pipeline and drive deals to close without constant hand-holding.
• Consultative sales approach. You ask smart questions, listen actively, diagnose pain, and tailor solutions. Not an order-taker, but a trusted problem-solver.
• Commission mentality. You're driven by upside earnings and comfortable with variable compensation. You know your numbers and chase quota aggressively.
• Tech-comfortable. You can pick up CRM (Salesforce), D-Tools design software, and smart home platform basics quickly.
• Excellent communication and follow-through. Clients and peers trust you to deliver on promises. You return calls same-day. You show up.
• Coachable and competitive. You listen to feedback, improve continuously, and want to be the best on the team.
• Strong work ethic and integrity. You build genuine client relationships. You do what you say. You're professional in every interaction.
• Luxury Residential Sales Experience

NICE-TO-HAVES (NOT REQUIRED)

• Smart home, AV, or automation technology background (we'll train the technical details)
• Existing relationships in Palm Beach real estate, interior design, or luxury home services
• Experience with D-Tools, Salesforce, or similar sales/design platforms
