About The Company
At J Blanton, we understand the importance of an owner’s home. We know that when disaster strikes, you need more than just a plumber; you need a problem solver who can bring fast relief to unexpected chaos. For more than 30 years, our professionals have raced through heat, rain, snow, and hail to restore order and peace back into the homes of many Chicagoland families.
About the Role

J. Blanton Plumbing is experiencing rapid growth and is actively expanding our Sewer Sales Division. As part of this expansion, we are looking to connect with high-performing HVAC Comfort Consultants, Advisors, and In-Home Sales Professionals who are ready to leverage their skills in a more stable, year-round, high-ticket sales environment.

If you thrive in consultative, in-home sales and are motivated by consistency, strong lead flow, and uncapped earning potential, this opportunity was built for you.

Why Sewer Sales at J. Blanton Plumbing?

  • While HVAC sales can be highly seasonal, sewer sales offer consistent demand all year long. Homeowners don’t delay sewer issues, and that creates predictable opportunity and strong earning rhythm for our sales consultants.
  • Year-round stability compared to seasonal HVAC cycles
  • Approximately 50% of our current sewer sales team transitioned from HVAC sales and are thriving
  • A proven transition and training program that converts HVAC consultants into sewer sales professionals in 4–5 weeks
  • Strong brand reputation with excellent customer reviews and high close rates
  • $2,500 sign-on bonus after 30 days, contingent on onboarding performance and fit

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct in-home, consultative sales appointments with homeowners
  • Assess customer needs and recommend high-ticket sewer solutions
  • Present clear options and guide customers through confident buying decisions
  • Own the sales process from initial consultation through close
  • Build trust, rapport, and long-term customer relationships
  • Collaborate with operations and production teams to ensure smooth job execution


What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of sales experience, preferably in outside or in-home sales.
  • Proven experience selling directly to customers face-to-face.
  • Experience working with high-ticket products or services.
  • Experience being the first salesperson in the home, rather than simply taking over an appointment after someone else identified the problem.
  • Experience closing customers during the initial appointment.
  • Strong communication, presentation, and objection-handling skills.
  • Comfortable working in a 100% commission-based sales environment.
  • Ability to build rapport quickly and establish trust with homeowners.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
  • Ability to pass a background check.
  • Ability to carry approximately 40 lbs. up and down stairs.
  • Willingness to learn the technical side of sewer systems and residential plumbing.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity
Learn a New Industry Without Starting Over
You already know how to sell. Now you can apply those skills in a growing, year-round home services market.

  • 3+ years of HVAC or in-home residential sales
  • Proven success in consultative, face-to-face sales environments
  • Experience presenting options (good / better / best)
  • Strong communication, professionalism, and closing ability
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to customer homes
  • No prior sewer sales experience required, we train you.
