About the role
Our New Home Consultants work with clients as trusted experts, putting together solutions from our range of plans and services. They can make the difference between an ordinary home-building experience and a truly exceptional one.
You will be a master at understanding people’s needs, finding the solution that fits the bill and becoming a trusted adviser throughout a significant decision-making journey.
The role will take you through:
Managing leads and phone enquiries
Conducting face-to-face consultations
Guiding clients from initial enquiry through to sales conversion
Presenting home designs, plans and services
Building strong client relationships
Keeping up to date with new products, materials and design ideas
Visiting homes under construction and walking clients through a build in progress
Managing your own sales pipeline and business development activity
The hours are varied, with evenings and weekends involved. As this is very much a business that you will be building, you will want to work hard to reap the rewards available.
Our top consultants have been able to achieve flexibility in how they run their workday once they have built a strong foundation.
What do you need in your toolkit?
We sell dreams, so our team needs to be exceptional at helping people realise theirs.
We can teach most people about the building industry. However, there are some things you will need to bring to the table to be successful in this role:
A proven ability to build rapport with customers
A passion for understanding customer needs and finding solutions
Experience managing a sales pipeline, including analytics, reporting, sales planning, forecasting and organisation
Business planning experience, including the creation and execution of go-to-market plans
A robust understanding of the sales process and buyer personas
A demonstrable track record of achieving sales targets
Strong systems and IT skills, with the ability to quickly learn new design and estimating software
Excellent communication, relationship-building and negotiation skills
The drive, discipline and ambition to build a successful business
What we will do to help you succeed
The successful candidate will receive a comprehensive training and development programme designed to grow your knowledge, capability and confidence quickly.
You will also receive marketing support to drive lead flow, industry leading process training along with all the tools you need to sell a great product and deliver an exceptional client experience.
Who are we looking for?
The common thread among our New Home Consultants is that they want to earn a six-figure income while retaining some of the benefits that come with being self-employed. At the same time, they value the support of a larger company and the opportunity to be part of a team.
Our most successful consultants typically have one or more of the following:
Previous business management experience or business ownership
A proven track record in high-performing sales roles
A background in the building industry, such as design, project management, building or new home consultancy
Senior management experience and a desire to leave the corporate world and build their own future
A successful history in commission-based sales
Hunter focused mindset
Strong commercial awareness and a genuine desire to help people achieve their goals
Earning potential
This is a self-employed contract role, with remuneration based on successful house sales.
A retainer will be provided for the right candidate during the training period. Our successful New Home Consultants are earning $100,000-plus within 18–24 months, with many going on to earn salaries in excess of $250,000.
If you are ambitious, people-focused and ready to build a rewarding career in the residential building industry, we would love to hear from you.
