    Description

    POSITION SUMMARY 

    The Sales Excellence Trainer is a field-first, high-travel role responsible for training and coaching our in-home comfort advisors, technicians, and CSRs/booking agents. You'll inherit existing playbooks and scripts, systematize them into a scalable training curriculum, create new content, and spend the majority of your time in branches making sure it's being executed. This is not a classroom-only role — we need someone who can ride along with a tech at 8am and run a CSR coaching session by noon.

    • CSRs / Booking Agents: call conversion, scripting, urgency creation, price objection handling, and appointment accuracy
