Job Description

Join Altitude, where collaboration meets competition.

 

At Altitude, we understand that the best results often come from a mix of teamwork and individual effort. We're looking for enthusiastic, motivated individuals who thrive in environments where collaboration is key but personal achievement is equally celebrated. If you're the type of person who excels in a team, yet relishes the satisfaction of crossing the finish line on your own terms, then our Entry Level Territory Sales Associate role might be just what you're looking for.

 

As a part of our close-knit team, you'll play a critical role in driving our collective success while enjoying the flexibility to set your own pace. You'll have the opportunity to work alongside like-minded colleagues who support each other, share strategies, and celebrate each victory as a team. But it's not just about working together—it's about growing together. At Altitude, we believe that the success of one is the success of all, and we're committed to providing you with the tools, training, and encouragement you need to shine both as a teammate and as an individual.

 

Position Overview:

As an Entry Level Territory Sales Associate at Altitude, you'll be at the forefront of our outreach efforts, engaging directly with small to medium-sized business owners and decision-makers in your assigned territory. Your role will involve cold calling, setting up face-to-face meetings, and presenting Altitude's Insurance solutions in a way that resonates with each client's unique needs.

 

You'll find that your ability to connect with others—whether it's a fellow team member or a prospective client—will be your greatest asset. Success in this role isn't just about hitting targets; it's about building relationships, fostering trust, and creating a positive impact both within your team and with the clients you serve. If you're passionate about working in a supportive environment, where your success is shared, then Altitude is the place where you can truly thrive.

 

Who Thrives Here:

• Candidates who are natural communicators, able to build rapport with clients and colleagues alike.

• People who are looking for a career where they can grow both personally and professionally, with the support of a team that's committed to collective success.

 

Overview of Duties and Responsibilities:

This is an outside sales position working in your own assigned sales territory. We will train you to call on small and medium-sized businesses that operate in a variety of industries, meeting face-to-face with business owners and decision-makers to offer some of the industry's best supplemental insurance products and services to them and their employees. You will work with business owners, benefits managers, and their employees individually at times; other times, you will give product presentations with employee groups as large as 50-100+ people. You will be expected to:

• Respond to general emails and phone calls from clients

• Set your own scheduled working hours and submit them to your sales manager each week

• Follow up on provided sales leads and cold-call on businesses in person, balancing "cold" lead generation and sales with your warm leads and appointments with existing clients

We Offer:

• Virtual classroom training as well as hands-on sales training in your own territory

• Weekly draw pay with bonuses and commission eligibility upon start

We do not use AI in our recruiting/interview process. Your resume will be reviewed and your interview will be conducted by one of our team members. Due to the nature of this position talking to others about insurance during difficult health topics we strongly believe this position cannot lean on AI but rather requires connecting with people.
