    About Us

    Brothers that Just Do Gutters is reinventing contractor services in the western Chicago suburbs. We're not your typical home improvement company—we've eliminated the pushy sales tactics and built our reputation on honest consultation and exceptional service. Our customers don't feel "sold to"—they feel guided to the right solution for their home.

    We're growing fast and need a driven sales professional to help us expand our presence across DuPage County's 340,000+ households.

    The Role

    This isn't a desk job. You'll be out in the field building relationships, educating homeowners, and creating partnerships that drive sustainable growth.

    Your weeks split between:

    50% - Customer Appointments (Pre-scheduled leads)

    Meet homeowners at their properties to assess gutter needs

    Provide consultative recommendations (not pushy pitches)

    Close sales on gutter installations, repairs, guards, and cleaning

    Convert leads generated by corporate marketing, Google Ads, and Meta advertising

    50% - Business Development (Self-generated opportunities)

    Door-to-door canvassing in target neighborhoods

    Build referral partnerships with roofers, landscapers, window companies, general contractors

    Network with insurance agents, adjusters, and restoration companies

    Develop relationships with property managers, HOA managers, and commercial facility operators

    Attend local business events and community gatherings

    What Makes You Successful Here

    Must-Haves:

    Comfortable with door-to-door prospecting—you see it as opportunity, not rejection

    Relationship builder who can turn a roofer, realtor, or property manager into a steady referral source

    Self-starter mentality—you don't need someone looking over your shoulder

    Valid driver's license and reliable transportation (you'll be driving throughout DuPage County daily)

    Comfortable working outdoors and climbing ladders to assess gutter systems

    Nice-to-Haves:

    Experience with home improvement or B2C sales (roofing, windows, siding, restoration, HVAC, or similar industries strongly preferred)

    Proven track record of meeting/exceeding sales quotas

    Existing network in the home improvement or real estate industries

    Experience with CRM systems (we use ServiceBridge)

    Knowledge of gutter systems, roofing, or exterior home services

    Our Culture & Approach

    What we ARE: ✅ Honest consultants who educate customers on the best solution ✅ Relationship-focused—we want customers for life, not just one transaction ✅ Quality-obsessed—we stand behind our work ✅ Growth-oriented—we have ambitious revenue goals and reward those who help us hit them

    What we're NOT: ❌ High-pressure, "close at all costs" sales culture ❌ Pushy tactics or misleading customers ❌ Selling products people don't need just to hit a number

    But make no mistake: We expect results. You'll have targets, and we need someone assertive and motivated to hit them. The difference? You'll do it by being genuinely helpful, not manipulative.

    Quarterly accelerators for exceeding targets

    Annual $10K "Million Dollar Club" bonus
