Residential Construction Sales Consultant

Location:

Plymouth, MI (Metro Detroit West Side)

Sell exceptional construction projects. Get paid like an owner. Cowdin Design + Build is a highly focused residential design-build firm serving Metro Detroit's west side. We focus on residential remodeling and new home builds, completing 10-13 major remodeling projects per year—whole-home renovations, kitchens, primary suites, additions, and exterior transformations—executed with craftsmanship, clarity, and an exceptional client experience. We are preparing to bring on a pure sales professional—a hunter—who knows how to generate their own opportunities, earn trust quickly, and close high-quality residential remodeling work.

This role is built for someone who wants upside, autonomy, and pay directly tied to performance.

What You ll Do

• Proactively generate new remodeling opportunities through personal networks, referrals, realtors, past clients, and local relationships
• Respond to qualified inbound leads when available and convert them into signed design + build contracts
• Conduct initial client consultations and site visits to understand scope, goals, and budget alignment
• Educate homeowners on Cowdin's design-build process, setting clear expectations and building confidence
• Work with our internal team to develop scopes, budgets, and proposals that are clear, accurate, and buildable
• Present proposals and close contracts
• Maintain strong client relationships through the sales phase to ensure a smooth handoff into design and production
• Represent Cowdin Design + Build professionally in the community and marketplace

Your job is to sell great work to the right clients and hand off clean, well-aligned projects to our team.

• Potential earnings of up to $170,000
• Base salary can be negotiated once proven sales are brought in
• Commission paid on signed design + build contracts
• Higher commission percentage on self-generated work
• Ongoing commission alignment when repeat or referral clients close
• Commission structure designed to mirror ownership-style upside without ownership risk
• No cap on earnings

This role is ideal for someone who wants control over income and is confident in their ability to generate and close work.

• A proven residential remodeling salesperson or business development professional
• Someone who already has relationships in the local market—or knows how to build them fast
• A self-starter who does not need a salary to stay motivated
• A professional who values transparency, craftsmanship, and long-term client relationships
• Someone comfortable selling projects in the mid-to-high five-figure to six-figure range

• Demonstrated success selling residential remodeling, construction, or related professional services
• Strong consultation, presentation, and closing skills
• Ability to qualify clients honestly and walk away from poor-fit opportunities
• Professional communication style and presence suitable for high-end residential clients
• Valid driver s license and reliable transportation
• Familiarity with design-build or remodeling processes strongly preferred
• CRM or Buildertrend experience is a plus (we ll train on our system)

• Focused firm with clear standards and no chaos
• High-quality projects you can sell with confidence
• Strong reputation and repeat/referral-driven business
• Clean handoffs between sales, design, and production
• Leadership that respects sales as a revenue-driving function—not an admin role

Employment is at-will. Offers are contingent on background and driving record review, consistent with applicable law. Cowdin Design + Build is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Reasonable accommodations are available throughout the hiring process.
