Vantage Estimating is seeking an experienced outbound sales professional to join our team as an independent contractor. This role focuses on selling construction estimating services directly to U.S. general contractors, subcontractors, and builders. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of at least two years in outbound sales within the U.S. construction industry and be comfortable engaging decision-makers in clear, professional English. This commission-only position offers the opportunity to earn based on your success in acquiring and managing client projects remotely.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and reach out to U.S. general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and builders through cold calls, prospecting emails, LinkedIn outreach, and follow-ups.
- Engage with owners, estimating managers, and preconstruction teams to understand their estimating needs and discuss potential projects.
- Qualify prospects by identifying genuine estimating requirements and managing communications effectively.
- Maintain accurate records of prospects and follow-ups using a CRM system.
- Collaborate with the Vantage team on project inquiries, prepare proposals, and close sales to convert prospects into paying clients.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum of two years’ outbound sales experience selling services directly to U.S. construction companies, including general contractors and subcontractors.
- Demonstrated experience in initiating contact and maintaining communication with U.S. contractors through sales calls and emails.
- Excellent spoken and written English skills suitable for professional business conversations with U.S. clients.
- Basic understanding of construction bidding processes, quantity takeoffs, or estimating services.
- Proven ability to independently generate leads and convert conversations into paying customers.
- Availability to conduct sales calls during U.S. business hours.
Compensation and Work Arrangement
This is a commission-only independent contractor role with no fixed salary or guaranteed earnings. Commissions are paid at 30% of the gross profit on qualifying paid projects from clients you personally acquire, applicable during their first 12 months as Vantage clients. Gross profit is defined as collected project revenue minus direct project delivery costs. Specific commission eligibility and payment terms will be provided in writing.
The position is fully remote and project-based, allowing flexibility but requiring self-motivation and discipline to manage your sales pipeline and client relationships effectively.
Selection Process
Candidates who are shortlisted will be invited to discuss their previous U.S. construction sales experience and participate in a brief live sales call exercise conducted in English. We are seeking individuals with prior experience in this type of sales role rather than those new to sales.
