Who you are:

- Driven and Goal Oriented. You like to get stuff done. You're excited by competition. You're hungry for opportunities. And you're motivated to do your best, each and every day.
- You’re Resilient. We know sales can be a really tough job. Sometimes you will hear a lot more "no's" than "yes's." But this doesn't bother you because the "yes's" are what will keep you on the edge of your seat. You're calm, cool, and collected when handling objections and can think on your feet. You're confident in yourself and know how to keep pushing forward. Someone who's comfortable on the phone and leveraging social media
