This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their sales career who is eager to develop their skills in a fast-paced, SaaS environment within the property restoration industry.

• Maintain accurate records of all outreach activity, lead status, and pipeline updates in Salesforce CRM.
• Collaborate with Marketing on campaigns, messaging, and follow-up sequences for targeted accounts.
• Develop a deep understanding of Encircle's platform, the restoration industry, and the competitive landscape.
• Meet or exceed monthly targets for qualified meetings booked and won business.

✅ What You’ll Bring

• 1-2 years of experience in a sales, business development, or customer-facing role (SaaS experience is a plus).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills - you can craft a compelling message and hold a confident conversation
• Overachieving self-starter with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage a high volume of outreach.
• You don’t accept the status-quo and are always seeking creative ways to improve and expand on existing ideas
• Genuine curiosity about the restoration or insurance industry is a strong asset.
• Resilient, coachable, and motivated by personal goals and team success.

Nice to Have
