If you\'ve sold high-ticket , even better. You already understand the world our candidates operate in. At Curvion Blue, we\'re building revenue engines for our clients. That requires exceptional people. Your job is to help us find them. Schedule: Monday to Friday 9AM - 6 PM (specific to your time zone) Compensation Range: $50K - $80K #J-18808-Ljbffr
