The Role: Inside Sales Associate (Austin, TX)

Orchard is looking for a high-energy, results-driven Inside Sales Associate (ISA) to join our Central Austin team. As the first point of contact for homeowners, you are the "face" of Orchard. Your mission is simple: transform inbound interest into qualified appointments for our Licensed Real Estate Agents.

This is a high-velocity, office-first role perfect for someone with 1–2 years of sales or customer-facing experience who wants to master the art of the "close" in a tech-forward environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Drive Volume: Maintain a high level of activity, averaging 150 to 200+ outbound dials/touch points per day to warm inbound leads.
• Master the Script: Consult with homeowners to understand their needs, articulate the Orchard value proposition and set appt. with an Orchard Real estate Agent.
• Manage the Funnel: Utilize Salesforce and Dialpad to meticulously track leads and ensure no opportunity falls through the cracks.
• Collaborate: Work side-by-side with our licensed agents to ensure a seamless "hand-off" for the customer.

What We’re Looking For:

• The "Grind" Mentality: You enjoy the challenge of a high-volume environment and view every "no" as one step closer to a "yes."
• 1-2 Years Experience: Prior experience in sales, retail, hospitality, or real estate is preferred.
• Communication Pros: You can build rapport over the phone in seconds and are consistent with professional, punchy follow-ups.
• Austin-Based: You’re ready to bring your energy to our Central Austin office 4 days a week.

Why Orchard?

• Mentorship: Direct access to Sales Leadership and daily "on-the-floor" coaching.
