Seattle Tree Care•Seattle, WA

2d•Remote

About The Position

The Inside Sales Specialist (Client Re-Engagement) is a high-activity, relationship-driven role responsible for proactively re-engaging Seattle Tree Care’s past customers and dormant accounts to identify service needs and convert opportunities into booked work. Through structured outbound outreach via phone, email, and SMS, this role builds on existing client relationships to uncover needs across General Tree Care (GTC), Plant Health Care (PHC), and Consulting services — then qualifies, documents, and routes those opportunities efficiently to Sales Arborists and Production. This position directly supports revenue growth, client retention, and backlog stability by maximizing the lifetime value of STC’s existing customer base and smoothing demand variability across seasons. Success is measured by consistent outreach activity, pipeline conversion, and booked revenue generated from re-engaged clients. The right person combines strong phone presence and communication skills with disciplined CRM habits, a consultative approach to qualifying needs, and the persistence to maintain high performance in a self-directed, high-volume outbound environment.
