Position Description & Responsibilities
This is an outside sales position working in your own assigned sales territory. We will train you to call on small and medium-sized businesses that operate in a variety of industries. This role entails meeting face-to-face with business owners and decision-makers to offer some of the industry's best supplemental insurance products and services to them and their employees. You will work with business owners, benefits managers, and their employees individually at times; other times, you will give product presentations with employee groups as large as 50-100+ people. General job responsibilities include:

• Responding to general emails and phone calls from clients
• Follow up on provided sales leads and cold-call on businesses in person, balancing "cold" lead generation and sales with your warm leads and appointments with existing clients
• Develop relationships with local business owners in your territory
• Building and maintaining your own book of business
• Meeting with the sales team manager as needed to discuss and set your upcoming monthly and quarterly target sales goals and quotas
• Being present on scheduled calls or meetings with your sales team or manager
• Calling in person on new businesses, referrals, and existing clients who need to be reserviced
• Set your own scheduled working hours and submit them to your sales manager each week
• Setting follow-up appointments with prospective and current clients to review their needs
• Submit your sales metrics and activity daily

What It Takes To Be Successful In This Role

• Work Ethic: This is a role that will challenge you and help you grow professionally and personally. To be successful, you must have high expectations for yourself and be willing to put in the time, the effort, and the sweat equity to meet those expectations.
• Confidence: You must be confident in your interactions in a way that tells the client that a product demo with you will be a worthwhile use of their time and leaves no doubt that the products you're offering them will provide value to them. That includes a willingness on your part to address any objections and potential pushback in a confident and comfortable manner.
• Coachability: Our approach to sales is quite simple and common but also very proprietary. Many of the activities we do are standard for sales teams everywhere in other industries besides ours, but the expectations we have and the ways that we approach even a short conversation are unique. To be successful as a sales rep, you must be able to listen to feedback, own that feedback, and then take action to implement that feedback and correct weaknesses.
• Mental Toughness: Next to adaptability, the most important attribute that leads to success and top performance in this role is the ability to persist. You must be relentless and be able to draw from experiences of times in life when you encountered adversity and overcame it. All sales jobs involve daily rejection, and you must be capable of pushing through negative experiences without losing your cool, getting flustered, or taking it personally.
• Personality: You must have the ability to build trust with your potential clients, and this will require you to have an outgoing, honest, energetic, and "big" personality. If you are afraid of talking to strangers or don't enjoy having meaningful conversations with someone you just met 30 seconds ago, this role may not be a good fit for you.
