Required

You're the definition of a people-person

You have no reservations about approaching new faces, going into the deep end in networking events, and striking up conversations with strangers

You love to follow systems

Sales is math: do the right steps in order to the right number of people and success will follow. You're good at following a winning strategy every freakin' day once you've found it

Strong client service skills

This is not a role where you never interact with a prospect once they sign the dotted line. You should be interested in maintaining that relationship through periodic check-ins

Critical thinking and fearlessness to take initiative

Ideas for new packages? Cool ways to market them? Wondering if you should do this thing for that client? You're moving forward and more of an 'ask for forgiveness, not permission' type

High sense of urgency and high motivation

It's important to strike while the iron is hot. You're promptly responding to inquiries; whether it's texts, phone calls, emails, fax, WUPHF...however someone messages us, you're on it

A positive mindset

There's no room for negativity here! We love our team, love our clients, and love our community and we make sure it shows
