What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sales Assistant / Outbound Caller position at American Precast Concrete Inc.?
Sales Assistant / Outbound Caller
- Location: Pomona, CA
- Compensation: $21.00–$25.00/hour base (non-exempt) incentive structure
- Employment Type: Full-Time
About the Role
We're looking for a driven, personable Sales Assistant / Outbound Caller to join our team and take ownership of a mission-critical function: generating opportunities every single day.
This role is built for someone who thrives on the phone, isn't afraid of rejection, and gets energy from turning a cold lead into a warm conversation. You'll be the engine behind our sales pipeline — reactivating dormant accounts, qualifying new leads, and making sure no past quote or opportunity falls through the cracks.
What You'll Do
- Outbound Calling: Proactively call existing leads, dormant accounts, and prospect databases to generate new opportunities.
- Lead Qualification & Appointment Setting: Identify promising leads and set qualified appointments for the sales team.
- Follow-Up: Stay on top of past quotes and open opportunities, making sure nothing goes cold.
- Quote Preparation & Sales Admin: Assist with preparing materials quotes and supporting day-to-day sales administration.
- In-House Marketing Support: Support the growth of our in-house marketing efforts, and qualify new leads generated from in-house campaigns before routing them to the appropriate department.
What We're Looking For
- A confident, clear communicator who is comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls and emails.
- Someone organized and detail-oriented — able to track leads, quotes, and follow-ups without letting anything slip.
- A self-starter who takes ownership of daily opportunity generation as a personal metric of success.
- Prior experience in outbound sales, appointment setting, or lead generation is a plus, but strong communication skills and a willingness to learn matter most.
- Comfort with sales/CRM tools and basic quote or proposal preparation.
Software & Skills
- CRM: Comfortable working in HubSpot (or similar CRM) to log calls, track leads, and manage the pipeline.
- Dialer / Phone Systems: Experience with outbound dialer or VoIP calling platforms (e.g., Dialpad) is a plus.
- Microsoft Office / Google Workspace: Solid working knowledge of Excel/Sheets and Word/Docs for quote prep and sales admin.
- Quote / Proposal Tools: Comfortable following a quote template and assembling materials pricing accurately.
- E-Signature Platforms: Familiarity with tools like Adobe Sign is a plus.
- General Tech Comfort: Able to quickly learn new software and manage multiple systems (CRM, email, spreadsheets) at once without losing track of leads.
Compensation & Growth
- Base pay: $21.00–$25.00/hour
- Room to grow: This role is a launchpad, not a ceiling. Team members who perform well and master the fundamentals — outbound calls, email outreach, and industry/product lingo — will have real opportunities for promotion and advancement within the company as we continue to build out our sales and marketing functions.

Application Question(s):
- 1. Walk me through a typical day of outbound calling in your last role — how many calls, and what were you selling or setting up?"

- 3. How do you keep track of your calls, follow-ups, and pending quotes so nothing slips?
