Job Description
Description We're hiring Telesales Representatives for a growing marketing and advertising company that partners with major national brands like T-Mobile, UHG, Apple, and other well-known companies. This is a high-volume outbound calling role where you'll connect with businesses across the country and help secure advertising placements for client campaigns.

What You'll Do This role is heavily phone-based, with an expectation of about 100+ outbound dials per day. Most conversations are relatively short, ranging from 30 seconds to a few minutes. Success comes from building rapport quickly, speaking confidently, navigating objections, and identifying the right decision-maker. You'll spend your day: Making outbound calls to businesses nationwide Explaining advertising partnership opportunities Securing participation agreements from business owners and managers Tracking activity in Salesforce Following up with previous partners and cold prospects Working toward daily goals of approximately 10 successful agreements
