About the Job

To be considered for employment, you must submit your application on our website:

Waterfront Restoration is growing, and we have expanded our operations in the Detroit lakes area. We are looking for an energetic, outgoing, and motivated candidate to develop new and existing business with clients in and around the area. You will consult and promote our SCUBA by-the-root lake weed removal services to residential homeowners who live on the lake.

In this internship, not only will you be working directly with our Director of Sales, Director of Marketing, and CEO to learn how to use key sales tools, but you’ll also get coached and get hands-on opportunities building leads, qualifying customers, and closing deals, in a way that will leave you incredibly prepared for any sales or account management job you want going forward.

To succeed in this position, you must have the ability to build relationships and to promote service and value over price.

Unlike sales positions at other companies, you get to spend time outside and by the lake and promote a unique service that home and cabin owners want, so that their family can enjoy their lakefront weed free. You’ll be putting smiles on people’s faces while you earn a great income for yourself and develop your entrepreneurial skills portfolio.

This is an outside sales internship position in the Detroit lakes area - approximately 40- 50 hours per week. You will be the face of the company and meet with leads at their lakehome property to provide and present a quote and inform them of our services. You will also work from your home to provide quotes via phone, email, and zoom to prospects who are not able to meet with you onsite. You will be responsible for following up with any open leads until the deal is closed. From there, you will provide our operations team with customer information and instructions to complete services.

Key things you will learn:

The steps of the sales cycle (including tips and tricks on how to master each one).
How to thrive in a service company while connecting with some of the most affluent and advanced individuals in the United States.
How to operationally run a small business.
How to create expert presentations for each homeowner.
Lead-generation techniques
