Now about the role

We have a sales opening that hits a little differently than the high-pressure, churn-and-burn HVAC or solar gigs you are probably used to hearing about: Comfort Advisor / HVAC Sales Associate.

At Sandbox+, our whole model runs on long-term trust, high-end operational quality, and real customer relationships. That means this role is deeply consultative, not a race to hard-close someone during a heatwave just to pocket a quick check. In fact, heating and cooling is only part of what you will be bringing to the table.

Yeah, you will still manage your pipeline, follow up on leads, network outbound, and show up in the community. But we are not looking for someone to push band-aid repairs, throw oversized units at bad ductwork, or pressure homeowners into equipment they do not need. We are looking for a partner: someone who can build actual trust, simplify complex mechanicals, and help homeowners build a modern, optimized home energy system.

Here is what you will actually be solving for:

• High-performance HVAC systems and heat pumps
• Whole-home Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) upgrades
• Residential solar energy generation
• Battery storage and home electrification strategies
• Long-term protection and maintenance packages

To step into this role you would need to bring

• 3+ years as an HVAC Sales Associate or Comfort Advisor with deep equipment knowledge and established manufacturer ties
• Valid Driver's License with a clean 3-year record
• Proficiency in proposal software, system design platforms, presentation tools, and spreadsheets

Most importantly, you need a genuine curiosity for how we operate. We want someone who exercises full personal accountability, takes a logic-first, ego-free approach when a deal gets tricky, and actually enjoys helping families take control of their power. You will need the technical chops to assess a home and the communication skills to walk a homeowner through utility savings, rebates, tax incentives, and real ROI without the fluff.

Oh, and bonus points if you have a background in residential solar or a bachelors degree.

You'd likely be successful here if you are good at

• Building strong long-term customer relationships
• Managing your pipeline and followup / follow-through effectively
• Producing measurable results not just lipservice
• Being self-sufficient in developing and managing your own proposals and client presentations
• Engaging with the sales team in a collaborative, not competitive way
• Anticipating challenges, overcoming barriers, and bringing innovative, thoughtful solutions

This will not be the right opportunity for those who:

• Are used to retail, quick, one-time transactions behind a counter and have never built ongoing, long-term relationships with clients.
• Are uncomfortable with outreach, outbound calling, going to networking events, or initiating conversations with strangers.
• Skip follow-ups, drop the ball, leave emails unanswered, or fail to loop back with clients or teammates.
• Lack a strong presence, aren't confident, articulate, and professional enough to stand out during in-home visits and industry events.
• Hate using software, resist using proposal tools, CRMS, basic sales tech, and view data entry as a waste of time.
• Wait to be told what to do, if you lack personal drive, move slowly, or need a manager constantly pushing you to find the next deal.
• Get easily overwhelmed, struggle to stay organized when juggling multiple active deals and clients at the exact same time.
• Have a big ego, can't take feedback, refuse to learn from others, or put your own pride ahead of the team's success.

Lets get to the pay

A great relationship-builder who consistently develops trust, manages their pipeline well, and closes quality business can build a substantial income upwards of $200,000 (base + commission) while growing into even larger opportunities within Sandbox+.

We estimate this job will be filled by September 30th, but we may extend it as needed.
