  • Strong organizational skills with experience using CRM tools and MS Office.
  • Reliable personal vehicle and clean driving record (mileage and business expenses reimbursed).
  • Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Uncapped Commission Structure: 10% on new revenue generated, with additional bonuses for exceeding targets.
