Location: Seattle, WA

Salary: $50-70K + Commission ($100K+ for top performers)

About Us

Seattle Sustainable Landscapes is a fast-growing, sustainability-focused landscaping company serving residential clients throughout the greater Seattle area.

We specialize in:

• Irrigation systems (diagnostics, repairs, upgrades, installations)
• Landscape design & construction
• Outdoor lighting & maintenance
• Ongoing Yard Care

We are building a modern, tech-enabled service business where great customer experience and clear communication set us apart.

Position Overview

We are looking for a Sales Executive – Irrigation to help grow our irrigation division through both new installations and repair/upgrade opportunities. In time, the role will grow to cover lighting and drainage as well.

This is a sales-focused role, not a technical role. We've found our technicians are fantastic, but they do not want to sell. We need someone that can take a diagnostic from a technician and close with our customers, educate on why the repairs and upgrades are helpful and earn their business.

You will work closely with our irrigation technicians:

• Technicians perform diagnostics and identify issues
• You convert those findings into sold work

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Loves helping customers understand problems and solutions
• Is motivated by performance-based pay
• Wants to grow into a high-earning sales career

What You’ll Do
Repair & Upgrade Sales (Primary Focus)

• Review irrigation diagnostic reports from technicians
• Follow up with homeowners to explain issues and solutions
• Conduct estimate reviews via:
• On-site visits
• Phone calls
• Video calls
• Build trust and clearly communicate value
• Convert opportunities into approved work

New Installation Sales

• Meet with homeowners for irrigation system installations
• Assess needs and recommend system designs (training provided)
• Create and present proposals

Sales Process & Follow-Up

• Manage leads and opportunities in our CRM (Aspire)
• Follow up consistently with clients
• Track proposals, approvals, and pipeline
• Collaborate with technicians and office team to ensure smooth handoffs

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Strong communication and people skills
• Sales mindset — persuasive, confident, and customer-focused
• Organized and responsive with follow-up
• Comfortable using technology (CRM, video calls, etc.)
• Valid driver’s license

Preferred (but not required):

• Experience in sales (home services, construction, or similar)
• Experience with estimate reviews or proposal-based sales
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)
• Basic understanding of irrigation or willingness to learn quickly

We care more about your ability to sell and communicate than your technical background. We will train you on irrigation.

Compensation

• Low base salary + high commission structure
• Strong earning potential for high performers
• Performance-based growth opportunities

Why This Role is Unique

• Warm, high-intent opportunities (not cold calling)
• Clear division of labor:
• Technicians diagnose
• You sell
• Opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding division
• Learn a valuable, transferable sales skillset

Why Work With Us?

At Seattle Sustainable Landscapes, we believe:

• We work for our crews — people come first
• Sales should be honest, helpful, and value-driven
• Growth and performance are rewarded
• Positive energy and accountability matter
