About the Role

It is a sales-focused team who speak on the phone with potential clients to understand their needs, help them feel comfortable, position our firm as a solution to their needs and sign them as new clients. While this is a sales position, there are no cold-calls required - you will be working with clients who have reached out to us.

Our team genuinely cares about and has empathy for the people who seek our help, and we are driven to get them the best results possible.
