Sales Executive, Small Business, New Construction

About the role

The Sales Executive, Small Business, New Construction acquires new Small Business builder partners through targeted outreach and value-driven selling, building a strong pipeline and closing net-new business for Promoted Homes, a new product built for builders who buy a single lot and build a spec home to sell to a buyer, rather than developing a full community.

This is a high-volume outbound role. You will prospect, qualify and close a large number of small builders through a standardized sales cycle with established pricing and contracting guardrails. This position is a key revenue driver for Zillow New Construction, and the compensation plan rewards performance.

• Execute high-volume outbound calls and outreach to identify and qualify Small Business builders in your region who are a strong fit for Promoted Homes, and respond promptly to inbound interest.
• Conduct consultative sales conversations to understand builder needs and position Promoted Homes, its pricing and its value, including listing quality, media readiness and what is needed to activate.
• Manage a standardized sales cycle from first conversation to close, within established pricing and contracting guardrails, using Salesforce to log all activity, next steps and deal stages, Gong and Gong Engage to run outreach and review calls, and Highspot to find sales content.
• Collaborate with onboarding and activation partners to make clean handoffs, set clear builder expectations, and support a positive initial experience for new customers.
• Analyze territory, lead and performance data to prioritize outreach and refine messaging, and capture recurring objections and customer feedback to improve pricing, packaging, qualification and the sales playbook, while meeting or exceeding assigned activity, conversion and sales targets.
