Moving Match – Sales Representative Overview
Before we ask you any quiz questions, we want you to understand what this position is, what you’ll actually be doing, and how we expect you to communicate with customers.
Important:
Read this page carefully.
Every answer you need for Stage 1 comes from the information below.
What You’ll Learn on This Page
- What the Sales Rep position is (and what it is not)
- Your main goal on every call
- How we expect you to talk to customers
- Basic rules about pricing, minimums, and arrival windows
- What happens after a customer books
1. What This Position Is
You are applying for a Sales Representative position. This role is focused on selling and booking moves, not running the trucks.
You will be responsible for:
- Answering inbound sales calls
- Making outbound follow-up calls and texts
- Building and sending estimates using our CRM ( SmartMoving)
- Converting leads into booked jobs
- Following up with customers until they book or clearly decline
2. What This Position Is NOT
You will not be responsible for:
- Managing movers or daily truck routes
- Handling customer service issues after booking
- Dealing with damage claims or complaints
- Changing job times or dates once booked
- Coordinating crews on move day
Simple rule:
your job is to get the move booked.
After that, dispatch and customer service take over.
3. Your Main Goal
Your #1 goal in this role is:
Turn every qualified caller into a booked job.
You do this by:
- Listening and understanding what matters to them
- Explaining our services and pricing clearly
- Keeping things simple and honest
- Asking directly if they’d like to schedule now
4. How We Communicate
We expect sales reps to speak in this style:
- Calm and friendly
- Clear and professional
- Confident (never shaky or unsure)
- Patient and good at listening
- Adaptable to the customer’s tone and concerns
If you’re not sure about something:
give a tentative answer, let the customer know you’ll confirm, and follow up. Do not guess and do not sound lost.

5. Basic Rules About Pricing & Jobs
Here are a few core rules you should know up front:
- Minimum time: there is a 2-hour minimum for any local or labor-only job.
- Long distance: long-distance moves are priced differently and do not use a 2-hour minimum.
- CRM used: we use a system called SmartMoving to build and send estimates.
- Arrival times: we offer a morning window or an afternoon window, not exact times.
- Afternoon window: depends on how long the morning job takes, so we do not promise a specific hour.
Key idea:
we are transparent and simple. Customers see the hourly rate, any fees,
and understand that they only pay more if they need more time.
6. Handling Price and Discounts
We do not lead with discounts.
Our flow is:
- Present the estimate confidently at the normal rate
- If they say it’s high or want to “call around,” then we look at discounts
- Discounts come from a pre-approved list inside the system
The discount is a tool to help close the booking after
you’ve explained the value and they hesitate.
7. What Happens After They Book
Once a customer is scheduled:
- Your part of the job is complete
- Dispatch and customer service handle changes, issues, and move-day questions
- You focus on new leads and new bookings, not existing problems
Quick Recap Before You Take Stage 1
- This is a Sales Representative role, not dispatch or moving crew.
- Your job is to book moves, not manage them after they are booked.
- We expect a calm, friendly, confident communication style.
- There is a 2-hour minimum on most local jobs.
- We use morning/afternoon arrival windows, not exact times.
- Discounts are offered only after the customer hesitates or wants to call around.
