Sales Associate

We are a web design firm looking to quickly and broadly expand our business in the next six months!

We have an innovative design system that gives clients the opportunity to get a beautiful website at an incredibly low price. Our service is geared toward small and new businesses.

Candidate Requirements & Qualifications

• 1-2 years of outside sales experience recommended;
• High school diploma/GED required;
• Self-motivated and goal-oriented;
• Excellent written and oral communication skills;
• Valid driver license and reliable vehicle;
• Strong working knowledge of web technology -- you must know your way around a web browser, and be able to talk others through web forms;
• Ability to talk competently about things like web hosting, domains registration, and content management systems is preferred, but if you don't have such knowledge, you must be willing and motivated to learn;
• A clean working computer tablet (i.e.- Apple iPad) is preferred, but if you don't have one, a laptop is required for product demonstrations.

Compensation

This is an independent contractor position which is 100% commission -- no salary! You will be paid your commissions 30 days after deals are closed and money is collected from the client.

Job Description

You will set your own hours and work as much or as little as required to fill your own quota. Our office is located in Washington, DC, so you will be working out of your home and conference in with other remote Sales Associates for team meetings when they occur.

You will have the freedom to market as you feel comfortable; you may find that selling to friends and family is the best way to meet your quota, or that you're more comfortable cold-calling and doing walk-ins with businesses who you know don't already have websites.

Your responsibilities are as follows:

• Develop and execute a sales and marketing plan;
• Prospect, cold-call, network, generate leads, set-up & attend in-person meetings;
• Sell potential clients on the benefit of a website and the reasons for choosing us as a low-cost provider;
• Market to friends and family who are actively seeking a web designer for their small business;
• Walk potential clients through the purchase process.

Once you've earned the sale and closed the purchase process, you will hand off the clients to the in-house designers and won't need to actively support them, freeing you to continue the sales process with new clients.
