NEW BIZ DEVELOPER AND CLOSER: ETHICALLY FIERCE, FEARLESS COLD CALLER WITH THE CAPACITY TO GET THROUGH TO DECISION MAKERS AND GET THAT DAMNED APPOINTMENT.
You understand the first appointment is to see if we can help the prospect solve their staffing problems... not to sell a service. You're not limited to a one size fits all solution. You're excited that the organization that employs you provides several options so you always have a smarter solution to offer. You don't take rejection personally. So you call back as many times as it takes until the decision maker will meet you face to face. You command respect from your clients and you know how to control them so they don't waste your most valuable money-making asset: time. You're detail-oriented enough on your initial visit to make sure your client understands exactly what you provide. But not so obsessive that you spend your office time making lists and cross referencing them so you don't have the time or energy to get on the phone. You're ready to try new approaches if your old ones don't work anymore, but that doesn't mean we're ready to take on a rookie with no business to business sales experience. When your client is unreasonable, you have the self-control and self-esteem to say "no." You understand how business works: what is profitable and what's not. And you want to work for a great organization that WILL deliver what you promise- and more — as long as you understand what is, in fact, deliverable. BENEFITS include: direct deposit • BC/BS HMO or PPO subsidized after 30 days • dental, vision, life insurance, LTD, STD available at low cost • profit-sharing plan • 15 days paid leave • most major Federal holidays paid • credit union • excellent DC metro-accessible location • Aggressive COMMISSION structure. • Pleasant work environment. SALARY of 30K plus commissions on new account activity with the EXPECTED TOTAL COMPENSATION OF 60-70K FIRST YEAR. Prior staffing experience is not necessary, but we strongly prefer someone who has sold a service, as opposed to a product. Send an e-mail explaining why you fit this description. Tell us what your quotas for new biz appointments were in the last company you worked for (numbers of calls, number of appointments, monthly revenue, etc.) and how you actually performed (numbers again). Tell us what techniques you used to get past gatekeepers and voice mail and why you are interested in leaving or have already left that company. Send it to: helen@hirestandard.com Do not respond to any other e-mail address for this position. MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAKE US WANT TO RESPOND TO YOU. DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS. AN ATTACHMENT WILL DISQUALIFY YOU FROM CONSIDERATION. DO NOT PHONE. DO NOT SEND A STOCK RESUME.
