3+ years of successful sales experience and proven entrepreneurial know-how
Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred
Solid presentation skills and ability to speak to customer needs at all levels
Strong work ethic, team player mentality and ability to perform outstanding work from home
Candidates should ideally reside in the Oakland, Castro Valley, or Berkeley area, with consideration given to the broader East Bay (including Hayward, San Leandro, Concord, Orinda, Walnut Creek, and up to Vallejo), and have the ability to travel within the territory as needed, including 2–3 overnight stays per week
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and CRM Platforms
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Excellent administrative and organizational skills
Great attention to detail
