You’ll be comfortable supporting the team with tasks at all levels, whether it be customizing a sales presentation or helping to organize a fun and memorable client event.
- After six months, you’ll be the go-to for sales decks and prep materials, and will be sitting in on client meetings to see your work in action while learning the tricks of the trade from more senior sellers.
- When you finish up your first year, you’ll be an essential part of the East Coast Sales team, having substantially contributed to the team’s market penetration with the key agencies in the region.
