Sales Trainer

Phoenix, AZ

At Howard Air we are on a mission to elevate our Brand to new heights and are searching for a passionate and energy-driven Sales Coach to join our team. If you have a passion for teaching/mentoring and can bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to help our team excel, then this is your team. This role will develop, train, inspect, measure, and improve the sales process, while partnering with department leaders to ensure consistent execution and accountability. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Sales Process Ownership: Develop, standardize, and continuously improve the sales process across HVAC Equipment, HVAC Service, and Plumbing. Responsible for developing the process, training it, inspecting it, reporting on it, and working with department leadership to make sure it is being executed.
  • Training & Coaching: Lead classroom and field training, weekly role-play, objection handling, and targeted skill development.
  • Field Coaching: Conduct regular ride-alongs with Comfort Advisors, technicians, and other customer-facing employees to observe and coach real customer interactions.
  • Apprentice Development: Oversee sales apprentice training, role-play, ride-alongs, competency assessments, and graduation standards.
  • Performance Reporting: Track and report key sales metrics including close rates, average tickets, opportunities, turn rates, and individual performance trends.
  • Accountability: Partner with department managers on coaching plans, Success 1:1s, follow-up, and performance improvement.
  • Manager Development: Teach managers how to effectively coach and develop their sales teams rather than relying solely on the trainer.
  • Call Center Alignment: Partner with call center leadership to align booking, lead quality, customer expectations, turnovers, and follow-up with the sales process.
  • Cross-Department Alignment: Ensure HVAC Equipment, HVAC Service, and Plumbing operate under one consistent sales philosophy and process.
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify performance gaps and translate field observations and data into actionable training and process improvements.

What Success Looks Like

Success means creating one company, one sales process, with department-specific applications. The right candidate will be comfortable training a plumbing team, riding with an HVAC technician, reviewing Comfort Advisor performance, coaching an apprentice, working with the call center, and reporting to leadership on where we are winning, where we are losing, and what we are doing about it.

  • 2+ years of residential HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or related home services experience.
  • Demonstrated sales training, coaching, or mentoring experience.
  • Strong understanding of residential sales processes and customer experience.
  • Confident public speaker with excellent communication skills.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
