• Someone studying business, marketing, communications, or sales
• Someone with retail, hospitality, customer service, or other people-facing experience
• Someone looking to begin a career in professional B2B sales and marketing

Previous sales, marketing, customer service, or business experience is a plus and may qualify the candidate for a higher starting rate within the posted pay range.

Because this position includes visiting local businesses and attending events:

• A valid driver's license is required
• Reliable transportation is required
• The candidate must be comfortable traveling throughout the local area
• Occasional early morning or evening networking events may be required

There is no cap on these performance bonuses. The more successful the representative is at generating qualified opportunities and helping bring new clients to the company, the greater their earning potential.
