• Present the value of Billd's financing solution to prospective contractors over the phone
• Help contractors complete their online enrollment via Billd’s proprietary web platform.
• Generate and qualify outbound leads by assessing the contractor’s material purchasing needs and creditworthiness
• Work with Underwriting to understand the necessary information required to approve contractors for financing, then follow up with contractors to obtain the information
• Complete assigned Apollo tasks promptly to maximize sales conversions
• Work in a team environment which the contractor will transition to upon approval
• Develop personalized outbound campaigns (call, email, text, etc.) to target prospective customers via Apollo
• Unearth new sales opportunities through networking (LinkedIn and professional networking)
• Leverage social media to communicate and connect with prospects and customers

Skills and Qualifications

• 1-2 years of experience helping customers sign up for a new product or service
• Proficient in collecting customer documentation necessary for approvals
• Experience in lead management
• Preferred to have familiarity with technology tools such as Salesforce, Slack, Apollo, and Intercom
• Must have a competitive drive and persevere to consistently achieve excellence and overcome adversity
• Must be a self starter and continuously invest in self development and learning
