You’ll spend your day prospecting for new business, connecting with small and medium-sized businesses, presenting event sponsorship and advertising opportunities, and building relationships with decision-makers. You’ll manage your own pipeline, work toward monthly revenue and activity goals, and use Salesforce CRM to stay organized and keep opportunities moving forward. The role is built for someone who enjoys having clear goals, wants their effort to directly impact their earnings, and thrives in an environment where activity, persistence, and results matter.
