The position

2. You’ll be selling groundbreaking products that are changing the way companies look at hiring.
3. Deals sizes range from $300 – $30,000.
4. You’ll be responsible for the full sales process from prospecting, using our crm (salesnet), closing and renewing.
5. You’ll manage thousands of clients.
6. You’ll be working as part of a team including other sales reps, customer service and management.

About you

1. You don’t hear “No”. Instead you hear “Call me in two weeks”.
2. You aren’t afraid to make cold calls.
3. You value building relationships. You take pride in knowing your client’s budgets and kids’ names. If you promised to send a follow-up proposal, you don’t leave until it’s delivered.

5. Career growth and learning are important to you.
6. You have discipline enough to work in a virtual environment and can tackle challenges with very minimal supervision.
