Position Overview

Who We Are Looking For
We are especially interested in candidates who are self-directed, competitive, persistent, and comfortable being measured by results.
You should have a strong independent work ethic and the ability to manage your day without requiring constant supervision. You understand that prospecting, follow-up, and consistent activity are fundamental parts of a successful sales career.
Qualifications
- Previous sales experience strongly preferred, including insurance, outside sales, inside sales, retail sales, business development, or telephone sales

A Career, Not Just a Job
We are looking for someone interested in building a career, developing professional sales skills, creating a book of relationships, and increasing their earning potential through performance.
This position is best suited for someone who wants responsibility for their own success. You will be provided with training, tools, coaching, and opportunities—but you will also be expected to prospect, develop leads, follow up consistently, and produce measurable sales results.
If you are ambitious, enjoy working with people, and want an opportunity where your effort and results can contribute directly to your professional growth, we encourage you to apply.
