One of the things that attracted Mary Lindeman to sales management firm New Home Star was the potential career path. In eight years, she’s moved up five steps and now serves as VP of builder operations—a position that didn’t exist prior to Lindeman taking the role.
New Home Star provides outsourced sales services for home builders, and Lindeman is responsible for creating more departments and services for the company to offer. Before the pandemic, she launched an online sales concierge department, which achieved 1,600 sales in fewer than 24 months. The program won a Silver award in NAHB’s 2021 National Sales and Marketing Awards.
Lindeman’s sales experience and a process-oriented attitude help her identify opportunities and execute them efficiently. A recent success involved implementing new project management software that automates the onboarding process for new clients—an update made even more critical, as she added three new building partners and 15 divisions.
Lindeman is having an impact on the company internally as well. She co-founded the diversity, equity, and inclusion committee at New Home Star and is passionate about attracting more women to home building.
