Remote | Flexible | Base + Commission | Luxury Homeowners If you're the kind of person who naturally follows up, remembers details, builds relationships, embraces technology, and refuses to let opportunities fall through the cracks—and can envision building a book of business, growing your income, and helping homeowners and businesses celebrate Halloween and Christmas—keep reading. We're a woman-owned Chicago company that has been designing and installing holiday lighting and décor for more than 25 years. Every year, hundreds of homeowners and businesses contact us looking for ideas, guidance, and a trusted partner to help bring their vision to life. We're growing and looking for an exceptional communicator who thrives on relationships, loves technology, and knows how to help people make confident decisions. This is not a cold-calling position. Our marketing, referrals, repeat clients, strategic partnerships, and reputation generate a substantial flow of inbound opportunities each season. For the right person, this is more than a seasonal role. It's an opportunity to build a recurring book of business inside one of Chicago's most established and respected holiday lighting companies. Annual Seasonal Position Training begins in late summer. The position runs through approximately December 15 each year and becomes a full-time commitment during the holiday season. Client consultations take place during the day, evenings, and weekends. During peak season, this role must be your primary professional focus. Every member of our sales team returns season after season, growing their relationships, expanding their book of business, and increasing their earning potential year after year. What You'll Do Meet with homeowners and business owners remotely via phone, Google Meet, text, email, and digital presentations Guide clients through our proven sales and design process Build trust and relationships quickly Manage a high volume of opportunities Follow up consistently and professionally Maintain CRM records and client communication Coordinate with our design and operations teams Deliver an exceptional client experience Close business confidently and professionally The Perfect Candidate You may come from sales, real estate, hospitality, recruiting, event planning, fundraising, customer service, network marketing, business ownership, or another relationship-driven profession. You do not need holiday lighting experience, and you do not need design experience. If you appreciate beautiful design and enjoy helping people bring ideas to life, we can teach you the rest. What we cannot teach is your drive, professionalism, exceptional communication skills, organization, technical aptitude, love of technology, follow-through, and ability to build trust quickly. You must have exceptional spoken and written English. You must be outstanding on the phone and on Google Meet. You must be comfortable learning and using AI, CRM systems, and modern technology every day. Most importantly, you know how to build relationships and guide people toward a decision. Compensation Base + Commission As your client relationships grow and your book of business expands, your earning potential grows as well. This is a thriving industry, an established company, and a growing opportunity. We have strong demand, repeat clients, referral partners, and an outstanding reputation built over more than 25 years. For ambitious people who embrace technology, build trust, communicate exceptionally well, and consistently take care of their clients, the earning potential can be significant. Why Top Performers Love This Role You're not selling something people reluctantly buy. You're helping families create traditions. You're helping businesses create memorable experiences. You're helping clients bring their vision to life. There is tremendous satisfaction in guiding a project from the first conversation through installation and seeing the finished result come to life. You'll work with one of Chicago's premier holiday lighting companies, a woman-owned business known for exceptional design, outstanding service, innovation, and professionalism. If you're excited by the idea of building something meaningful, growing your income, embracing technology, and creating clients who return year after year, we'd love to meet you.
