A sales representitive is needed for an established hosting company.

Ok, we've went through alot of immature and very unproductive persons from our last TWO requests, for a competent sales representive to better our company. We are making one more request for a sales representive to learn and grow with our company. To avoid wasting both of our time, i provide a list of prerequisites for attaining this position.

1. You must be ATLEAST 17 years of age.
2. You must have a great knowledge of the hosting business, sales, and advertising stratergies.
3. You must also have a basic but overall good understanding of unix, linux, support and features, cpanel5 and whm.
4. You must be able to communicate and type formal and proper sentences when addressing any/all business matters.
5. You must be able to work on a commission based salery until you have a proven record and established a history with us; at which point you will be promoted accordingly. i.e. Senior Sales Manager.
6. You should have ideas and concepts to increase sales, ambition, and conduct everything in a professional and business matter. This is important to establishing a good, personal relationship with our staff and our company.
7. You need be available and apart of the staff as much as possible.
8. Hard Work. (Your hard work and time will not go unacknowledged.)

Perks are provided with the position. Any shared plan you like, Your own email, Administration Access to certain things (eventually), and more.

That is the basic list. I really hope we can get some inquiries worth both of our times. If you dont feel you can suit our needs or those prerequisites are inapt to you, please DO NOT REPLY.

Also, please do not reply via this forum. If you are interested, please send us email to Sales@****************.com to discuss full or part-time employment and salery.

Thank you.

Regards,
Dean Martin

You're not going to get quality Sales Reps at 17. Or 18. Or 19. or, odds are, at 20, either.

If you manage to find a good, quality sales rep at around those ages and knows the software you've listed, it'll be around the time I see pigs fly. In my experience, the really, really good sales reps have absolutely no clue as to what they're selling but are good at convincing clients that either a) they do, or b) the people who will be doing the actual work for them are software gurus. A good sales rep can be selling vaccuum cleaners one day, cars the next, and hosting services the next day. Sales reps don't need to know what they're talking about - they just need to be able regurgitate whatever information they've been given and is required to make sales.

Just a little advice from a rep.

I totaly agree with the person who said a good rep could sell vacs one day (which I have) cars another day (which i have not) and hosting the next (which I do)

To find a good rep, realize reps care about either one or both of these things

-money
-advancement (more money)

Put out a request, take phone calls, make your process the rep selling you something. If you'de buy hire the guy.

If you have a local Kirby dealership in your city. Go there and find a rep who knows how to work off strait commision. The rep probably makes $1000.00 a week if he's any good, so be prepared to show him/her a way to do that with you.

Otherwise, you may want to conside offering a salary to a proven entitiy at a company who has closed down. There are pleanty of them on the market right now.

That is all

Thanks

When you are a rep for a company that has posted on the Inc 500 for the last three years, at 150% odf quota over the last 6 months, you can talk about being concerned about what I say on a BB. Till then your some company in business for what for all intesive purposes looks like a few months, looking for a rep and up till now getting nowhere.

Maybe you should consided leaving actual contact info on your look up, so I know your not a pump and dump.

And show me you have some actual HR/Sales skills and not post about problems finding reps. I'd take my advice about looking for reps and quit getting you panties in a bunch because I called you out on being in business for a short period of time. Any rep worth his ass is only going to work for a company in business for a short time if they have an AMAZING product. You sell hosting, in a saturated market place.

See you at the top

That's really a bad remark you make there. Post count doesn't matter ANYTHING at all. The fact that he has a low postcount doesn't make him a bad salesman nor a newbie.
