A Home Depot Installation Services (HDIS) Design Consultant is responsible for selling the Company’s exterior products and services to customers. His or her primary responsibility is outside sales via visits to customer homes and trade shows. Although sales efforts and incidental activities may take place at a customer’s home or through virtual channels, a Design Consultant will spend the majority of his or her working time traveling and away from a dedicated office environment. Design Consultants will travel to customer’s homes to make sales calls, assess customer needs, make individually-tailored recommendations regarding product selections, develop and negotiate customized price quotes, present warranty information and financial options that simultaneously meet the customer’s unique needs and maintain/drive profitability, complete required sales contracts and paperwork, and take measurements using industry standard methods to ensure orders meet required installation specifications. The Design Consultant is responsible for proactively soliciting and acquiring new customers inside assigned THD stores and during industry events (such as Home Shows). To drive sales and increase the pipeline of potential customers, a Design Consultant will travel to their assigned stores, maintain local relationships, educate store associates on HDIS offerings, and bring awareness to HDIS programs.
