I’ve done sales for a long time but this is a different animal. %100 cold calling blue collar unorganized contractors sums this job up to the T. It’s like taking a steel rake and scraping it over scorched earth in hopes to find new signs of life. All the leads have been called hundreds of times and everyone you calls knows who Home Advisor is, they’ve all heard the same pitch and value that Home Advisor can bring to their company. Don’t get me wrong. People kill it at Home Advisor and make incredible money. I just couldn’t stick around long enough.

Churn and burn environment. Required to make 150-200 calls a day to contractors and pressured to have around 3 hours of talk time. Most calls are to disconnected numbers, or they hang up on you as soon as up say you are with Home Advisor. Loud music plays all day. Required to get 8 approved sales within 12 week training period, if you do not make it you will be let go. Constant fear of getting in trouble and no work life balance. Everyone gets two breaks (10:15-10:30 and 3:15-3:30) and lunch is the same time (12-1). Little flexibility to even go to the bathroom outside of a scheduled break. Must provide a doctors note of taking a sick day. Training consists of a few days of classroom training and learning on the sales floor. When you talk with a contractor and think you can get them to close, a manager stands beside you and feeds lines into your ear while listening to your call to help wrangle in the sale. It is very difficult to do this and concentrate because of the loud music in the background and listening to both the contractor and manager at the same time. Unprofessional, managers and trainers will coach employees to lie in order to land a sale. Ultimately not a conducive environment for someone with a family and needing a consistent solid paycheck.
