• Maintain CRM Accuracy: Update CRM systems daily to track outreach activities, lead statuses, and hand-offs to Account Executives.
• Handle Objections: Address common concerns or misconceptions about shared housing models with empathy and factual responses.

Here’s what you’ll need to be successful:

• Sales or Customer Service Experience: Exposure either in an outbound sales or customer service role, preferably in B2B or real estate, with a track record of generating leads and qualifying prospects or delivering exceptional customer experiences.
• Strong Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to clearly explain PadSplit’s business model and value proposition to property owners.
• Self-Starter and Motivated: Ability to work independently with little supervision, staying focused and driven to meet sales targets.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfort using CRM software (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot), sales enablement tools, email automation, and virtual communication platforms (Zoom, Slack, etc.).
• Research and Prospecting Skills: Ability to find and target relevant property owners through online databases, social media, and local market research.
• Problem-Solving and Objection Handling: Confidence in overcoming objections, handling rejection, and finding creative solutions to move leads through the sales pipeline.
