Requirements - You are incentivized by booking calls and seeing your efforts turn into revenue. - You look for every opportunity to re-open a door and find a "win" for both the company and the customer. - You thrive on hitting daily and weekly call/booking targets. Benefits - You have a "warm" list of 10,000 people to call—you aren't cold-calling strangers; you are calling people who already know our brand. - You are the lead engine for our most important business development channel. - We provide the playbook and the discounts; you provide the energy and the execution.
