You are comfortable working across a portfolio of technology and telecom solutions and you pick up new products and tools quickly. When a more complex opportunity comes through you know when to engage the right internal resources. You manage your pipeline in a CRM with discipline keeping follow-up activity consistent so no opportunity slips through.

- Sell telecom and connectivity solutions (internet phone and related services) on behalf of carrier partners such as Spectrum Comcast and Verizon while identifying opportunities to expand into AppDirects broader technology portfolio.
- Manage your own sales funnel in HubSpot tracking every lead from first contact through close and maintaining timely follow-up on opportunities that dont close on the first call.
- Meet daily weekly and monthly sales KPIs tied to a seasonally adjusted quota structure designed to reflect realistic traffic patterns throughout the year.
- Engage solution engineers or product specialists when an opportunity grows complex ensuring customers receive accurate guidance without leaving revenue on the table.
- Build and grow customer relationships post-sale to protect recurring revenue and uncover additional solution needs over time.

- Comfort with technology and software concepts; a background in tech or telecom sales is a plus.
- Ability to work a rotating shift schedule between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday with in-office availability Tuesday through Thursday at our Chicago location.
- Basic proficiency with CRM tools or a demonstrated ability to adopt new software; we will train you on HubSpot and our internal quoting systems.
