About the Job
You will be working directly with our Director of Sales and Director of Marketing to learn how to use key sales tools and get hands-on opportunities on building leads, qualifying customers, and closing deals, in a way that will leave you incredibly prepared for any sales job you want going forward.
Part-time work (15-10 hours per week) of remote training begins in March/April. Full-time work (40-55 hours per week) starts in May and ends at the end of August each year.
