- A track record of closing deals and a "thick skin" to handle the natural rejections that come with aggressive prospecting and cold-calling
- Exceptional ability to engage with a diverse range of business owners and professional clients in person, over the phone, via text, and through email
- Familiarity with a wide portfolio of advertising solutions (digital, print, social media, and events) to build the right proposals for the right clients
- Must be willing to submit and pass the necessary required checks
- Bachelor's degree preferred but not required
- experience with CRM management platforms is a plus
