For the current season, Holiday Prestige sales representatives will focus specifically on professional Christmas lighting and permanent outdoor lighting. Event lighting, pumpkin porch services, porch pots, and other website services are not the sales team’s focus for this season.
Inside sales closes customers primarily by phone, text, email, video consultation, CRM follow-up, and remote proposal presentation, while outside sales meets customers at their properties and earns a higher commission rate for the additional time, travel, design responsibility, and in-person closing work.

Primary interaction | Phone, text, email, video, CRM follow-up | In-person home/business consultation plus follow-up |

IMPORTANT EARNINGS DISTINCTION
Outside sales receives a higher commission rate than inside sales and typically produces a 10%–30% higher ticket per sale because the representative can walk the property, identify additional opportunities, help the customer visualize a more complete project, and close in person. This describes the typical sales pattern, not a guaranteed result for every appointment.
INSIDE OR OUTSIDE SALES? APPLY NOW
The application lets you select Inside Sales, Outside Sales, or both.
An inside sales representative converts inbound and follow-up opportunities without needing an in-person visit for every sale, which allows the rep to manage a larger lead volume and move quickly through calls, texts, proposals, and CRM follow-up.
An outside sales representative meets homeowners and businesses onsite, designs and presents the right lighting solution, identifies opportunities that may not be obvious remotely, and confidently asks the customer to move forward.
Outside sales can produce a larger ticket because an onsite representative can see the whole property, identify appropriate add-ons, demonstrate options, and make it easier for the customer to understand the value of a more complete design.
A customer who initially asks about one roofline may decide to include peaks, dormers, garages, trees, greenery, or additional architectural sections after seeing the full property with the representative. Permanent-lighting customers may expand to additional elevations or architectural runs when the rep can show them how the complete system will look.
Strong Holiday Prestige salespeople are responsive, organized, confident discussing money, comfortable asking for the sale, and disciplined enough to follow up without being micromanaged.
Holiday Prestige invests in marketing and provides company-generated opportunities, but strong salespeople are expected to work the entire pipeline rather than wait passively for the next new lead.

A growing company can create advancement opportunities faster than a company that has already decided exactly how many crews, territories, and managers it will ever need.
Holiday Prestige was founded in 2018 and remains hands-on and owner-led. The company has acquired two businesses over the past several years, is expanding its local service capacity, and plans to pursue additional opportunities in Chicagoland and outside Illinois as the right opportunities become available.
That growth can create hard-to-reach opportunities for employees who prove they are dependable, capable, coachable, and ready for more responsibility — from crew leadership and specialized installation to sales leadership, traveling teams, operations, and future market roles.
Yes. A strong inside sales representative may move into outside sales when they demonstrate consistent follow-up, product knowledge, professional communication, accurate CRM habits, and the ability to close.
Because outside sales earns a higher commission rate and typically works larger tickets, it can become a natural advancement path for salespeople who want more field responsibility and greater earning potential.
Holiday Prestige hires for attitude, reliability, safety, professionalism, and the willingness to learn. Skill matters, but the best long-term employees are people others can count on.
Most strong tradespeople want a boss who understands the work, communicates clearly, pays attention to what happens in the field, expects high standards, and treats good employees with respect.
Holiday Prestige founder Phillip Herrejon comes from a blue-collar, hands-on operating background and remains involved in the business day to day. His management philosophy is straightforward: stay humble, work hard, take care of the people who take care of the company, and build relationships that can last beyond a single season or project.
Holiday Prestige is not trying to create a culture where employees are anonymous numbers. The goal is to build strong crews and long-term working relationships, while still holding everyone — including leadership — accountable for doing the job correctly.
A sales applicant stands out by showing real numbers, real examples, and real follow-up discipline instead of simply writing “I am a people person.”
Yes. Holiday Prestige recruits both inside and outside sales representatives for Christmas lighting and permanent outdoor lighting.
Outside sales earns a higher commission rate than inside sales because it requires field travel, onsite consultation, additional project-design responsibility, and in-person closing work.
Yes. Holiday Prestige typically sees outside-sales tickets run about 10%–30% higher than comparable inside-sales transactions because an onsite rep can identify and present additional appropriate project opportunities.
The current Holiday Prestige sales focus is professional Christmas lighting and permanent outdoor lighting only.
No. Previous lighting experience helps, but strong high-ticket home-service, inside-sales, outside-sales, automotive, retail, or consultative sales experience can transfer well.
Holiday Prestige generates leads, but sales representatives are still expected to follow up aggressively, work old estimates and qualified prospects, and manage the full pipeline instead of waiting for fresh leads.
Yes. Outside sales representatives must have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation to customer appointments throughout Chicagoland.
Yes. The application allows candidates to select Inside Sales, Outside Sales, or both, and candidates may also select other Holiday Prestige positions that interest them.
Yes. Strong inside-sales performance can create a path into higher-commission outside sales when the representative demonstrates the product knowledge, discipline, professionalism, and closing ability required.
At Holiday Prestige, we believe our sales professionals should be rewarded for the value they bring to our business. Our outside sales positions offer a higher commission rate than our inside sales positions. Details of the compensation plan will be discussed and shared with qualified candidates during the recruiting process.
