Qualification
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
