Sales Representative — Electrical Construction Bid Operations
About the Role
You'll own the full bid lifecycle across two (and growing) electrical contractors — from submission through contract close. This is a phone-heavy, pipeline-driven role where your follow-up directly translates to revenue. Every bid gets tracked, every GC relationship gets worked, and nothing goes cold on your watch.
What You'll Do
Manage the live bid board daily. Every morning starts with reviewing what's pending, what needs follow-up, and what's close to winning.
Make 100+ outbound calls daily to GC project managers, estimators, and decision-makers. These are warm calls — we've already submitted a proposal. You're following up to learn where we stand, gauge competitor pricing, handle scope questions, and push toward award.
Run a disciplined follow-up cadence. Every bid gets touched at 3, 7, and 14 days. Every touchpoint is logged in the CRM with pricing intel, GC preferences, and timeline updates.
Conduct outreach to get our contractors on new bid lists. Cold and warm outreach to general contractors doing commercial retail and restaurant work in the LA market. Goal: more bid invitations every week.
Gather competitive intelligence. When a GC says "you were high" or "we went with someone else," you log it, spot pricing patterns, and flag where a small adjustment could flip a loss into a win.
Feed intel back to the estimating team. If you're hearing we're consistently high on a certain project type, you bring that data back so we can recalibrate before the next bid goes out.
Track win/loss metrics weekly: follow-up rate, response rate, deals moved to negotiation, contracts closed, and revenue attributed to your efforts.
Requirements
Strong English communication. You'll be calling American GCs who expect fluent, confident, real conversation — no scripts.
Sales or outbound calling experience (minimum 2 year). Inside sales, SDR/BDR, appointment setting, or BPO backgrounds all work.
Available during US Pacific Time hours. Most GC offices are reachable 7 AM–4 PM PT. You need meaningful overlap with that window.
CRM discipline. Every call logged, every status updated, no exceptions. If it's not in the system, it didn't happen.
Self-directed. You'll have daily targets but nobody hovering. You manage your own call list, prioritize the highest-value follow-ups, and flag problems before they become missed deals.
Comfortable with rejection. GCs are busy, often blunt, and sometimes don't return calls. Persistence without being pushy is the skill.
Coachable and curious. You'll be learning electrical construction terminology, project types, and GC relationship dynamics. The person who asks questions and absorbs fast will succeed here.
Strong Preference
Construction industry experience — especially electrical contracting, commercial buildouts, or tenant improvement work. If you've worked on the GC or sub side and understand how bids flow, scope gets negotiated, and awards get made, you'll ramp significantly faster and have an immediate edge.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with bid platforms like BuildingConnected or PlanHub. Familiarity with CRM tools (
