LEND HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Sales Representative — Home Improvement FinancingRemote / Field-Based · Independent Contractor · Full-Time Engagement
Who We Are
Lend Home Improvements (LHI) is a B2B financing platform built specifically for home improvement contractors. We give dealers access to unsecured signature loans up to $100K, same-day approvals, and a two-draw funding structure that keeps cash moving on the job — without the friction that comes with traditional lenders.Our model is simple: contractors close more jobs when they can offer flexible payment options. We make that possible and handle the financing infrastructure behind the scenes. We’re growing fast, and we need seasoned sales professionals who already know how this industry works.
The Role
You’ll be prospecting, qualifying, and onboarding home improvement dealers into LHI’s financing platform — then keeping them active and transacting. You know how home improvement sales work — and you know that offering financing is often what closes the deal. At LHI, you're bringing that same tool to contractors, giving them the ability to close more jobs by offering their customers a payment that works.Day to day you will:
- Prospect and qualify home improvement contractors across roofing, windows, siding, HVAC, bathrooms, and general remodeling
- Run demos of LHI’s platform and walk dealers through loan products, offer structures, and the funding process
- Onboard new dealers from signed agreement through first funded deal
- Keep your dealer book active — regular touchpoints, usage coaching, and re-engagement when volume drops
- Log all activity in HubSpot and maintain clean pipeline records
- Collaborate with the LHI operations team to move deals through underwriting and funding smoothly
What We’re Looking For
The non-negotiables:- 2+ years in home improvement sales — roofing, windows, siding, HVAC, kitchens, baths, or similar
- You have personally used financing to close deals. You know what a payment conversation looks like and why it works
- Comfortable with a high-volume outbound motion — calls, follow-ups, and pipeline management are second nature
- HubSpot or comparable CRM experience — you log your activity and you keep your pipeline accurate
- Self-directed and accountable — this role has income upside tied to your output, and you’re motivated by that
Nice to have:
- Experience selling or operating within a financing program at a dealer or contractor level (GreenSky, Mosaic, Synchrony, EnerBank, or similar)
- Existing network of home improvement contractors you can bring to the table
- Familiarity with point-of-sale financing and how loan products are structured
Compensation
Base PayCommission$1,000 / week0.125% of finance revenue generatedPaid bi-weeklyPaid quarterly — no ceilingExample: If you bring on a dealer whose customers finance $800,000 over a quarter, you earn $1,000 in commission on top of your base — in addition to every other dealer in your book. There’s no cap. The more your dealers transact, the more you earn.
Why LHI
- Contractor-first product — built by people who understand the trades, not a fintech company trying to learn the industry
- Competitive loan products: unsecured up to $100K, FICO floor of 600, 180-day approval validity, promo and deferred interest options
- Two-draw funding with next-day ACH — dealers get paid fast, which means they stay loyal
- Structured onboarding and ongoing dealer support so your book actually activates and stays active
- Direct access to leadership — decisions get made quickly here
How to Apply
Send a brief note and your resume to the LHI team. We’re not looking for a cover letter — tell us in two or three sentences what type of home improvement you sold, how you used financing to close deals, and what your average deal size looked like. That context matters more than a formatted summary.We move fast. If your background fits, expect to hear back within 48 hours.
