Sales Development Representative
House Fire Solutions • Westport, CT, US
Posted 48 minutes ago
The mission: Build the partner network in our key markets. House Fire Solutions guides homeowners through the aftermath of a house fire. You build the relationships that bring us those homeowners and the partners who serve them. You get partners to open and fund an account on Fire Damage Leads, sell our subscription service to public adjusters, and keep those accounts active and spending.
This is an outreach and business development role. Nothing like it exists at most companies, so you won’t inherit a stale playbook. You’ll build and run a new revenue channel with clear daily and weekly targets, so you always know where you stand.
How the platform works:
Fire Damage Leads is our platform where restoration companies and real estate investors buy leads anytime. Partners fund a prepaid wallet, and each lead is deducted from their balance as it’s delivered. Leads come from aggregators and marketers across the country.
You’re not selling lead packages. You’re getting partners to open an account, fund it, and keep using it.
Other services from our ecosystem round out what you can offer.
Some partners fund right away. Others take monthly follow-up before they send clients or put money in. Part of the job is running that monthly follow-up cadence without letting anyone fall through.
How you get paid
You earn a $65,000 base, plus a 10% quarterly profit share on the accounts you brought in.
How it works:
Every quarter, we add up what your accounts spent on delivered leads, subtract what those leads cost us, and that’s the profit on your accounts. You earn 10% of that profit.
It’s based on spend, not deposits. Only money that was actually spent on delivered leads counts. Unspent balances don’t count, so refunds and unused deposits never affect your pay.
Returns are netted in the quarter they happen. If a lead is returned and credited back to a partner, it reduces profit for that quarter. It never reduces money you were already paid.
Only your accounts count. Every account is tied to you at signup, through your invite link and the owner field in our CRM. Profit from accounts you didn’t bring in isn’t part of your share.
Paid quarterly. Your payout arrives within [30] days after quarter end, with a one-page statement showing each account, its spend, its profit, and your 10%.
Public adjuster subscriptions: you earn 10% of the profit on subscriptions you bring in, on the same quarterly schedule.
How long it lasts: you earn the profit share on each account for [12] months from its first deposit. [or: for as long as the account stays active]
Upside Earning. There’s no limit on the number of accounts you build or how much you earn.
Your targets and rates are fixed in writing for [12] months. Any change applies only going forward, with [30] days’ written notice.
Base salary is never reduced. Commission is never clawed back from your base pay.
Misrepresentation is the one exception. If a manager finds, after review, that you misrepresented an offer to win an account, profit share on that account is forfeited.
The offer letter spells out the full definitions, including how lead cost is calculated, how returns are handled, and what happens to your accounts if you leave.
What you get:
A real market with real demand. Fire victims need help, and partners want to reach them.
A simple thing to sell: open an account, fund it, and start getting leads
A structured 2-week onboarding, then direct, in-office mentorship from the CEO
A profit share that builds as your accounts keep spending
A clear path to grow: [Partnership Growth Manager → Senior Partnership Manager → Partnerships Team Lead, based on the numbers below]
Room to grow as we expand into new cities and states
Hunting: winning new partners
Build a target list of fire marshals, fire departments, building inspectors, restoration companies, public adjusters, and real estate investors in each key market. [We give you a starting list by market.]
Reach out daily by phone, email, and in person
Hold discovery calls and meetings, and pitch the right offer to each partner type
Get restoration companies and real estate investors to open an account on Fire Damage Leads and fund it
Sell our subscription service to public adjusters
Onboard each partner so they understand how the wallet, bidding, caps, and returns work
Respond to inbound partner inquiries within [1 hour] during business hours
Farming: keeping accounts spending
Follow up with every partner every month. Watch balances and activity, and re-engage accounts that are running low or going quiet.
Help partners get results from their leads so they keep funding their account
Keep public adjuster subscribers engaged and renewing
Some partners will send us clients who want to join our community, work with a fire damage consultant, or sell their property as-is. Track every referral from receipt to outcome.
Protect the brand and stay compliant
No unauthorized commitments. You use the approved price sheet and agreement language only. No custom pricing, fees, or terms without written approval from leadership.
No unsupported claims. You only quote lead volume, conversion, and results that leadership has approved and can back with data. Never promise a number of jobs, leads, or returns.
Be clear on how the wallet works. Partners must understand how funds are deducted, how returns and refunds work, and what happens to an unused balance before they deposit.
Your calls are reviewed. We review every sales call in your first 30 days, then a regular sample, to coach you and protect you and the company.
No payments or gifts to public officials. Fire marshals, fire departments, and building inspectors are referral relationships only. You never offer them money, gifts, or anything of value.
Stay in our lane. We are a neutral recovery guide for homeowners. We are not a contractor, adjuster, or attorney, and you never present us as one.
Escalate fast. Any partner complaint, homeowner complaint, or compliance question goes to leadership the same day.

Who thrives here
You own your numbers. You know your touches, conversations, funded accounts, and spend without looking them up
You’re a hunter who also farms. You win new partners and keep them spending, because your pay depends on both
You sell accounts that keep spending. You’d rather sign a partner who uses leads every month than one who deposits once and disappears
You sell with truth. You describe exactly what the partner gets, and nothing more
You build for the long game. Some partners need months of follow-up. You stay consistent when it’s slow
You tell us problems early. Issues get escalated the moment you see them
You stay inside the lines. You never promise what you haven’t been authorized to promise
