Sales Arborist

Are you a driven, top-tier sales professional who loves being outdoors and building relationships? Do you want to sell high-value, premium services to an affluent clientele that values quality over the lowest price?

Join us at Joshua Tree Experts, Bethesda MD's premier outdoor home service company. We are currently accepting applications for a Sales Arborist. This pivotal role offers a golden opportunity to take ownership of a territory, apply your consultative sales expertise, and enjoy exceptional, uncapped earning potential.

You do not need to be a tree expert on day one. If you bring the sales drive, the communication skills, and a genuine interest in the outdoors, we will teach you the arboriculture.

The Role:

The Arborist Account Manager position is not just a job; it's a year-round career built on relationship management and territory growth. You will be the face of the "Joshua Tree Experience," meeting with homeowners, evaluating their properties, and selling comprehensive tree, lawn, and plant health care solutions.

As the Arborist Account Manager, your main responsibilities include:

• Territory Management: Continuously engaging in prospecting, obtaining referrals, networking with peers, and actively seeking new business opportunities in high-end neighborhoods.
• Estimating & Proposing: Conducting site inspections, proposing job costs, and providing timely, professional estimates to prospects and clients.
• Client Experience: Following up promptly after job completion to address any concerns, ensure 100% satisfaction, and build long-term retention.
• Operational Partnership: Collaborating with our office staff to schedule work and communicating the job scope to our expert production crews to ensure client expectations are met.
• Brand Ambassadorship: Demonstrating ethical behavior, integrity, and acting as a role model for our core values: Reliable, Team Player, Improve & Adapt, and Find a Way.

Knowledge and Requisite Skills/Abilities:

• Proven Sales Track Record: Demonstrated ability to meet and exceed sales goals, build pipelines, and close deals.

• Problem Solver: Ability to multitask, prioritize, identify problems, and collaborate on solutions with minimal supervision.
• Tech-Savvy: Attention to detail and proficiency with basic computer systems (CRM experience is a big plus).
• Outdoor Interest: A genuine interest in tree care, landscaping, or the green industry, with a willingness to learn tree identification and plant health care (PHC).

Minimum Qualifications:

• 2+ years of proven success in outside sales, B2C sales, or account management.
• Strong persuasion, negotiation, and closing skills.
