Work with ownership and preconstruction to align scope, budgets, and client expectations
Track contacts, opportunities, and follow-ups in JobTread (Buildertrend experience also transfers well)
Provide weekly pipeline updates and forecasts

Demonstrated history of hitting or exceeding sales targets
Comfortable with face-to-face selling and relationship-driven prospecting
Organized, disciplined, and self-managed
