Landscape Maintenance Estimator

Description

As the Landscape Maintenance Estimator, you’ll be a prospective client’s first experience with Outerland, and the person who earns their business. The estimator role blends consulting, sales, horticultural problem-solving and customer service: you’ll read a property, understand what the client values, design a maintenance plan that fits their landscape and their goals, and hand off a relationship our account managers are excited to inherit. New clients will walk away with the impression that we communicate, we care, and they’re a big deal to us.

Requirements

• Own inbound leads from first handshake to signed proposal, with follow-up that never leaves anyone wondering
• Walk properties with prospective clients - listen to their priorities, assess conditions, and communicate our value
• Build tailored maintenance plans around site conditions, takeoffs, client goals, company service offerings, and real budgets
• Put together accurate, detailed estimates and present proposals you can stand behind
• Lead the initial client meeting, set clear expectations, answer the follow-up questions, and close the sale
• Onboard new clients and hand off cleanly to their account manager - site notes, scope, and preferences all in one place
• Catch enhancement and upsell opportunities during site visits and pass them to the account management team
• Accurately, consistently, and proactively manage the sales pipeline within our CRM
• Track and manage sales performance against the sales budget

Qualifications

• 3+ years in sales or account management. Landscaping or green industry experience is preferred, but not required
• A working knowledge of landscape maintenance, plant material, and the problems properties tend to have - or the drive to learn it fast
• A consultative style: you ask good questions, listen more than you pitch, and communicate our value clearly to clients.
• Self-direction, ruthless attention to detail, and exceptional organizational skills

Compensation & Benefits

• $75,000 – $100,000 base salary based on experience
• Performance-based bonus opportunity
