An in home sales representative travels to potential customer homes to present products and explain or demonstrate how they work in some cases. The responsibilities of these consultants may include marketing to new leads, which are often provided by their employers. As an in home sales representative, you contact each lead by phone or email, schedule appointments in the customer’s home, show your products, and close the sale. Other duties include developing a strategic sales presentation based on the success of other salespeople in the company and advice from your managers. You earn a sales commission, and some companies offer benefits and paid time off.
