Online Media Sales Consultant
Posted: November 2011
Location: Castle Rock, COCome join our sales team! We are a fun and highly motivated group working out of a beautiful office in Castle Rock. As a workplace that is laidback in environment, but still driven towards company goals, mywedding.com is an ideal place to build your sales career. You will be surrounded by supportive co-workers and managers that will help you develop your professional skills.
People enjoy working here: Our company has expanded rapidly across the nation and we are looking for great people who want to be a part of a great success story! Over the past year, we've experienced steady growth, further establishing our product as a leading wedding planning site. Despite this rapid growth, our company continues to value community and pride itself on being supportive of professional goals and growth.
Dress code is business casual to casual, although coming to work in your pajamas is generally frowned down upon. And while we are on the subject of pajamas, we do not telecommute. The fun of this job is the people we work with, so why would you want to miss out on that? You absolutely must have a sense of humor and the tenacity to succeed in a sales role.
And because nothing in life is truly free, here are the job expectations: We're looking for entry level sales people to call upon wedding vendors and offer advertising solutions for their businesses. (We are not wedding planners.) The average sales consultant makes between 75-100 calls a day. So, for your sake and ours, you need to be comfortable talking on the phone and confident in your ability to build rapport with people. You'll need to develop a thorough understanding of our products and pricing, and be able to effectively communicate this to current and prospective clients over the phone. Our consultants maintain a database of clients and leads within their territories through networking, referrals, cold calling, and email campaigns, all done with the support of our awesome marketing and research groups.
Previous sales experience and an understanding of the sales cycle is a must, along with a knack for developing and maintaining relationships. You must have superb communication and presentation skills, as well as competency in Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint). Experience selling online advertising and branding products is a plus, as is experience within the wedding/event planning industry
A salary plus commission is offered. Benefits include medical, dental and vision insurance and a flexible paid time off plan.
