• Demonstrated success in cold-calling and new customer acquisition environments.

The Ideal Candidate

• Skilled at opening new doors and creating sales opportunities.
• Persistent and resilient when faced with challenges.
• Comfortable working independently while partnering effectively with internal teams.
