Event Marketing Representative | Lead Generation Specialist

SIR Home Improvements | Portage, MI
Full-Time | $20.00/Hour Guaranteed Uncapped Performance Bonuses | Paid Training

Turn Conversations Into Real Opportunities

Are you outgoing, energetic, and comfortable starting conversations with people you don't know?

Do you enjoy working toward goals and want an opportunity where your effort can directly increase what you earn?

SIR Home Improvements is hiring Full-Time Event Marketing Representatives / Lead Generation Specialists to represent our company at home shows, community events, retail locations, festivals, and promotional events throughout Southwest Michigan.

This is not a passive event or booth position.

You'll be out in the community talking with homeowners, learning about their home improvement needs, and helping qualified homeowners take the next step by scheduling a free in-home consultation with our sales team.

You'll receive $20/hour guaranteed, plus uncapped performance bonuses based on the qualified appointments you set.

That means you're rewarded not just for showing up—but for producing results.

What You'll Do

As an Event Marketing Representative, you'll be the face of SIR Home Improvements at events and retail locations throughout the area.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Representing SIR Home Improvements professionally at home shows, fairs, festivals, retail locations, and community events
• Approaching and engaging homeowners in friendly, natural conversations
• Asking questions to understand homeowners' needs and interests
• Educating potential customers about SIR's home improvement services
• Identifying homeowners who may be a good fit for our services
• Scheduling qualified appointments for our sales team
• Accurately collecting customer and appointment information
• Working toward individual and team appointment-setting goals
• Setting up, maintaining, and tearing down event displays and materials
• Keeping your event area clean, organized, and professional
• Following event procedures and lead-generation processes
• Communicating with your manager and team regarding event needs or challenges
• Representing SIR professionally with homeowners, event hosts, retail partners, and community members

Why This Isn't Your Typical Event Job

You won't spend your shift sitting behind a table waiting for people to approach you.

You'll be the person starting the conversation.

You'll learn how to quickly build rapport, ask effective questions, identify customer needs, and confidently invite qualified homeowners to take the next step.

This position is a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop real-world sales, marketing, communication, and customer acquisition skills while earning a guaranteed hourly wage plus performance-based bonuses.
