Position:
Your mission as an Outside Sales Representative (OSR) would be to run PRE-SET 15-30 minute Sales Meetings in which you would articulate in detail to prospective clients how their company would benefit from the services The SALT Group® provides - and then work to sign the prospect as a new client (one-call closes are not uncommon). The position requires that you be willing to travel extensively nearly every week (Multiple Regions).

Why The SALT Group®?

• ALL of your Sales Meetings are pre-set through our Call Center with mangers/executives of the companies in our proprietary lead database
• All OSRs have a dedicated Insides Sales support person to assist them with their Sales-related efforts

We believe that for a sales rep to be truly successful, their focus needs to be on the SALES process, not on Lead Generation or Administrative duties. Therefore, aside from result-coding appointments in our CRM and submitting Sales-related documents and Expense Reports, no other administrative duties are required. After the sale, OSRs have no further contact with the client. In other words, we have minimized nearly all extraneous tasks and responsibilities so that you can focus on selling! In exchange, we expect a very high level of performance – and pay generously for it.
