About The Position

Are you a highly motivated and talented sales professional? Are you looking for an inside sales career with an established and fast-growing company? If so, we are looking for a sales-savvy candidate who is interested in a career with outstanding growth and earnings potential. If you are looking for a rewarding career in sales, not just another job, then come join our team. Our ideal candidate is a motivated individual with excellent listening and questioning skills. You will be responsible for all sales activities within the FastSigns center and will serve as the first point of contact for online, email, telephone, and walk-in customers. We are looking for a smart, quick-thinking individual with a strong desire to succeed, the ability to develop lasting relationships, and the skills to close sales through a consultative sales approach. Ask yourself, do you enjoy working with people? Do you enjoy helping people solve problems by offering advice and consultation? Are you looking for a job that offers continuous learning, skill development, and a career path? This position is an IN-OFFICE position that manages the front desk, and your presence is critical every day. Front desk sales involves a tidy appearance, being willing to be on your feet, and a friendly personality on the phone and in person. Once a project is communicated to you by the customer, it will need to be routed to the appropriate salesperson, quoted, payment accepted, put into design, and managed between you and the customer until it is picked up, shipped, or installed.
