  • Load and stage your own gear, keep the kit clean and ready.

Who this is for

Someone who takes pride in a finished surface and can tell the difference between fast and right. They have put in full days of outdoor physical work, they drive themselves to the job, and they want to work up to running a crew rather than pass through.

Who it is not for

  • Somebody chasing the fastest possible turn on a boat, because Sunrise is the premium option and competes on how the boat comes out
  • A jobber between gigs with no interest in working up to lead on the crew
  • Somebody who wants indoor climate-controlled work and will take the first air-conditioned offer

Open role

Sales Rep, Boat Detailing

The work


We detail boats at the owner's dock or lift across Tampa Bay. A full detail runs about $1,750 to $2,700, and ceramic and sanding jobs run $3,000 to $5,000. Leads come to you from our ads and website. We need someone to call them fast, meet them at the boat and close. You pick your days and book your own appointments.

What you will be doing

  • Call every new lead the minute it comes in, then follow up on every open quote.
  • Answer inbound calls and reply to texts the same day.
  • Meet owners at their boat, walk it with them and quote it on the spot. Total price only.
  • Ask for the deposit on every quote. That is what locks the date.
  • Book the job and set up recurring wash schedules in our system.
  • Confirm crew arrival times with the customer and handle reschedules.
  • Check finished work with the owner at the boat and take care of anything that is not right.
  • Offer the wash plan and ask for the Google review after every job.
  • Help us hire crew: call detailer applicants and set up their trial days.

Pay

$1,500 a month base plus 7.5% commission on every new customer you close. No cap. W-2 or 1099, your choice.

Who this is for

Someone who has closed in person, likes the phone and calls a lead back before the next company does. They can stand on a dock with an owner, quote a $5,000 job with a straight face, ask for the deposit and hold the price. They keep a full call list moving without being chased.

Who it is not for

  • Somebody who wants to sell on discounts. We never take cash discounts and we hold our quotes.
  • Somebody who lets a lead sit until tomorrow.
  • Somebody who quotes and waits instead of asking for the deposit.
