Design Consultant — In-home Sales Pro
SPF Screens & Awnings is the unrivaled leader in retractable awnings and motorized sun shades across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, and currently expanding into Southern California. As part of the Hunter Douglas family of brands, we’ve spent over 15 years transforming outdoor living spaces with premium, custom solutions.

Here at SPF, we are a solution-based company, with a team that genuinely has each other’s backs. This role gives you a steady stream of pre-set, high-quality appointments, strong marketing support, and the freedom to own your territory like it’s your own business. We are selectively expanding our sales team and are seeking proven sales professionals who thrive in a performance-driven, high-ticket environment.

Not a training role. This is a closer’s seat.

The Opportunity
As a Design Consultant (DC), you will run 2-4 qualified, pre-set appointments per day , generated by aggressive company marketing. Your role is to deliver confident, consultative presentations and drive decisive buying outcomes for homeowners investing in premium outdoor living solutions.

Top performers in this role consistently:

Surpass the average close rate of 25% of their issued appointments

Generate $125,000–$150,000+ in monthly sales

Operate a strong one-call-close process with disciplined follow-up

What You’ll Do

Deliver professional, consultative presentations focused on value – not price

Confidently ask for the sale and drive one-call closes whenever possible

Own your pipeline from first appointment through installation, following up strategically with issued quotes to maximize close rate

Be in control of your own compensation by generating additional revenue through referrals, repeat business, and local partnerships

Step in and support nearby territories when needed – because there’s truly no ‘I’ in team, but there is an ‘us’ in success, as long as you look at it the right way

Maintain expert-level CRM pipeline management and communication standards

Who This Role Is For:

Have 2–5+ years of high-ticket, consultative sales experience (move to the front of the line with in-home sales background)

Have consistently overachieved revenue goals set by company, ideally in a commission-based role

Thrive in a performance-driven environment with clear metrics, taking full ownership of your results, both wins and losses

Are confident, polished, and highly persuasive in the home, presenting premium pricing

Manage your time, territory, and follow-up like the pro you are

This Role Is Not For You If You:

Are unable to overcome objections and have to rely on heavy discounts to close

Need scripting, micromanagement, or lack the ability to motivate yourself

Are uncomfortable being measured by close rate and revenue

Compensation & Support

Uncapped commission structure — which for our top consultants is $150,000- $250,000+ annually. DCs not yet maximizing their territory typically see an average annual income of $80-$90k

Salaryed training (2 weeks) & salary + commission during ramp-up period (10 weeks)

Company-generated, qualified appointments (no cold prospecting required)

Sales iPad, product samples, and professional measuring equipment provided

Full benefits package:

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Short-term disability, Accident

401(k) with 6% match

You focus on closing deals, we handle marketing, production, and installation!

Schedule & Requirements

Full-time, 5 days per week. Must be available to conduct evening and weekend sales appointments

Reliable personal vehicle, valid driver’s license, and a willingness to travel within assigned territory

Ability to lift up to 40lbs & utilize a ladder for measurements

Why Top Performers Choose SPF

Premium product with strong market differentiation

High average ticket and strong close potential

Consistent appointment flow backed by marketing

Long-term territory ownership
