The OSC
Connecting marketing to sales
The Online Sales Counselor is the bridge between marketing-generated interest and the onsite sales team. A properly configured HubSpot platform gives the OSC a clear, prioritized view of who needs attention, what each buyer is interested in and the most appropriate next action.
The OSC's role
Respond
Provide timely, personalized responses to new inquiries across active communities and upcoming VIP opportunities.
Qualify
Understand each buyer’s motivation, preferred community, timing, budget, home requirements and readiness.
Prioritize
Focus daily outreach on the prospects demonstrating the strongest purchase intent.
Convert
Guide qualified prospects toward appointments with the appropriate onsite sales representative.
Coordinate
Ensure the onsite team receives the buyer’s history, interests and expectations before the appointment.
Follow Through
Confirm appointments, track attendance, document outcomes and ensure every prospect has a clear next step.

Outcome returns to OSC and leadership
The process does not end when an appointment is scheduled. Attendance, feedback, qualification status and next steps must return to HubSpot so the OSC can continue nurturing the prospect when appropriate.
The outcome: the OSC will have a clear daily action plan, onsite sales will receive better-prepared buyers, and leadership will be able to measure the OSC's contribution from initial inquiry through appointment and sale.
