What are the responsibilities and job description for the AI Career Transition Program: Local Consultant Trainee (Salt Lake-Lehi) position at Refer.io?
Your Next Chapter: Pivot into the Booming AI Industry with Confidence
Are you ready to leave behind the long hours of retail, the unpredictable shifts of hospitality, or the ceiling of traditional sales? Do you have a natural talent for connecting with people, listening to their needs, and solving problems, but feel locked out of the high-growth tech sector?
This is your opportunity for a supported, structured career pivot. We are actively seeking individuals with exceptional people skills-from backgrounds like teaching, customer service, or non-tech sales-to join us as a Local AI Consultant Trainee. Your job is to leverage your natural ability to build relationships and learn a new, future-proof skill set. We provide the comprehensive training, direct mentorship, and financial stability you need to successfully transition into a lucrative B2B technology career.
This role is designed for the ambitious career pivoter: we value your transferable skills and offer a clear, guided path to becoming a successful AI sales evangelist.
What This Job Is All About: A Structured Path to Tech Success
This is a relationship-first, educational sales role where your people skills are your greatest asset. We don't expect you to be an AI expert on day one. Your daily work will involve meeting business owners in the Salt Lake-Lehi area, asking insightful questions to understand their operations, and introducing them to the potential of AI. You succeed by being curious, helpful, and consistently present in the community.
We are investing in your transition. We provide a step-by-step framework for success, focusing on building trust and establishing long-term, valuable relationships-not high-pressure, transactional sales.
A Day in the Life: Learning and Building
- Morning: You execute the "Core Loop," a guided activity to have 5 conversations about AI with local business owners. You use our templates to post your insights on LinkedIn, quickly building your professional brand as an emerging AI expert.
- Afternoon: You attend a local networking event, like a chamber of commerce meeting, with your mentor. You learn our "Event-to-Gamma" strategy for turning casual conversations into qualified leads.
- Evening: You assist in hosting the casual Weekly AI Meetup, gaining hands-on experience in community building and lead generation.
What We're Looking For: Transferable Skills and Drive
Forget the traditional tech resume. We are looking for the right mindset and transferable skills:
- Exceptional People Skills: You are a natural communicator, listener, and relationship builder-skills honed in customer-facing roles.
- Coachability and Drive: You are hungry to learn, eager to follow a proven system, and committed to building a new career.
- Professional Curiosity: You have a genuine interest in AI and technology, even if you are starting from scratch.
What You'll Get: Stability, Training, and Mentorship
We provide the structure and support to make your career pivot successful:
- Financial Stability During Transition (The 6-Month On-Ramp):
- $2,000/month guaranteed base salary for the first 3 months.
- $2,000/month draw against commission for months 4-6. This provides a safety net as you build your pipeline.
- Uncapped Earning Potential: After the on-ramp, you move to a straight commission model with 50% commission on upfront projects (average $10k, so $5k commission) and 25% recurring commission on monthly retainers.
- Comprehensive Training Program: Full access to our library of pre-recorded AI and Business training modules, designed to take you from zero to expert.
- Direct Mentorship: Weekly, one-on-one coaching calls to review your progress, role-play sales calls, and co-host your first community events.
- Full Tech Stack & Branding: We provide all the tools (Otter.ai, Zoom, Manus) and professional assets (website, email) to establish your presence immediately.
The Bottom Line: Your Future Starts Now
If you are ready to apply your incredible people skills to a high-growth, high-reward career in technology, and you thrive in a supportive, structured learning environment, we want to talk to you.
This is a conversation-led, curiosity-fueled, and relationship-first role with a clear path to success.
