Job position:  Account Manager / Salesperson

Are you a GREAT Salesperson, but not selling the best/easiest product(s)?
 Are your sales skills being wasted on a product that isn’t the right fit
for everyone??

This is an opportunity for an established Salesperson to make a ton of
money in the easiest area…..TECHNOLOGY!

We’re an established  IT Consulting/Support company in Midtown Manhattan
that focuses on 5 areas of technology:

   -

   Infrastructure:  Cabling, Voice, Data, etc
   -

   Cloud Computing:  We are pioneers in this space
   -

   Everyday Service/Support:  “Helpdesk” Maintenance and more
   -

   30% of Website Profit

All costs are transparent!  The sky’s the limit when it comes to earning
potential.  Recurring Commissions and Clients will carry over to the
following years.  Our revenue increased 50% in 2012 and 70% in 2013.   We
have over 200 clients, and a 16-person team.  We have done this without any
full-time Account Managers / Salespeople, so this is a great opportunity to
help take us to the next level!

Are you worried about training and not having a technology background?  It
may be tough, but with our extremely detailed “Sales Playbook” -  you
should be set!  You don’t need to sell the products, just our company.
 That’s easy since we have such great competitive advantages, success
stories, case studies, references, support, and more!  All you have to
really focus on is opening doors and bringing in leads.  Then our
Consultants generate the opportunities and let you know what to sell (with
options, etc).

Important:  Applicants must write a cover letter describing why they match
the description below.  If you do not have experience in all of the below,
that is fine, but please make a note of the areas you are unfamiliar with.
This is important, as we need a way to rule out the 100+ resumes we receive.

We’re looking for a go-getter, hunter/gatherer, who has done business
development successfully in the past.  Candidates should have experience in:

   -

   Networking / Attending Events and Organizations:  Please explain
   previous experience and what organizations in which you are a member.
   -

   Relationship Building:  Please provide examples of your success in this
   area and describe why you’re successful speaking with CXO-level
   professionals.  Also, how you’ve leveraged your partners and/or vendors for
   leads.

   is a must.  Please let us know the extent to your IT knowledge or IT-sales
   experience.
   -

   Using a CRM (Contact Relationship Manager):  Please provide examples of
   how you’ve used software to help you track your contacts/opportunities.

   type, and what experience you have with heavy email volume.
   -

   Doing Presentations:  Please tell us when you’ve presented in front of
   groups of people, how many people, and on what topics.
   -

   Cold-calling:  Please provide statistics or explanation of your success
   in this area.  Keep in mind, Cold-calling is not a requirement for this
   job, and should only be used if the candidate is an effective cold-caller.
