This is what a senior sales job should be. Top sales performers like you often generate millions of dollars but still face capped earnings and little to no opportunity for real ownership. The Altius Sr. Regional Director position is your chance to utilize your superb sales and business dev. skills to grow true ownership and long-term wealth. Check out our disruptive new EFP program, the ideal mix of earnings, accountability, autonomy, and ownership.
EFP IS NOT THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU...
- expect to receive the stated promotions based on tenure alone. First, this is contrary to one of our core values: we reward excellence, not existence. Second, EFPs are true entrepreneurs starting and scaling a new regional business. EFP promotional benchmarks are tied to actual outcomes. We cannot "decide" to give them to you; they only happen if you make them happen. Expect to work hard. Harder than almost anyone at a typical job. That is the life of an entrepreneur. If that sounds intimidating, you should stick to a regular job.
- don't feel comfortable selling... or you don't like to make phone sales... or you don't want to feel like a "telemarketer"... or you don't feel comfortable giving a sales presentation. Building a business IS a sales position. You'll also wear the "many hats" typical of an entrepreneur, such as operations, business development, marketing, employee management, administration, painter, janitor, etc., but remember that a successful entrepreneur is always
- give up when things get truly difficult. The first two years of this experience will be the most challenging, but it will never be easy. It takes time to build momentum and increase revenue in a new area. You MUST have a long-term vision and the persistence to continue pursuing a goal with modest or minimal short-term payoffs. If starting a business was easy and the payoff was immediate, everyone would do it.
EFP RESPONSIBILITIES
- Build, strengthen, and maintain strong relationships of trust with university pre-health advisors and student pre-health/pre-med clubs.
- Plan, advertise, execute, and present dynamic LIVE sales presentations (seminars/workshops) to large groups of university pre-med students.
- Call all event and other lead types from your assigned region. Follow-up regularly until contact is made and close leads by enrolling students in an Altius program.
- Utilize multiple marketing and advertising channels to create awareness and brand recognition at your assigned universities. Expect a strong emphasis on relationship-based sales and email marketing.
- Serve as enrollment advisor and primary contact for all students at your assigned universities.
- Recruit, hire, and train instructors and 1-on-1 mentors for your assigned schools.
- In coordination with Altius headquarters, schedule all classroom sessions held at your universities.
- Observe classroom instruction and 1-on-1 mentoring to provide feedback and ensure Altius-level quality.
- Carefully monitor student progress and score performance for all students in your region. Intervene as necessary to help struggling students.
- Maintain accurate records at all times using Altius CRM and accounting/expense tracking software.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- 3-5 years of demonstrated growth and increasing accomplishment as an entrepreneur, franchisee, armed services member, aspiring business leader, educator, university advisor or administrator.
- Passion and talent for sales and business growth.
- Strong management, presentation, public speaking, organization, and relationship-building skills are a must.
- Bachelor's degree is not required. Self-employed and on-the-job experience is acceptable in lieu of a degree.
WHO IS THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR EFP?
The ideal candidate for the Altius EFP program is filled with entrepreneurial spirit. This could include those currently running a traditional franchise or considering a franchise purchase. It could also be someone who has previously started their own business or is looking to exit their current business. Finally, it may include a "mis-placed entrepreneur" currently caught up in the corporate rat race but ready to be their own boss. EFP is the perfect way for anyone who has dreamed of starting their own business, or being their own boss, to achieve the benefits of business ownership without the inherent risks and startup costs. If you're willing to invest the passion and sweat equity to build up your region, we have the business model and infrastructure for success.
Formal university degrees are appreciated, but never required. Ambition, entrepreneurism, and relentlessness are far better predictors of success in the EFP program than degrees or professional titles. The EFP program welcomes applications from those who have faced and overcome unique life challenges, disadvantages, or setbacks. Former U.S. military personnel are strongly encouraged to apply-with or without franchise or entrepreneurial experience.
