Sales Associate & Business Development

SOS is looking for a full-­time entry-­level sales associate who has the motivation and personality to flourish in a small startup environment. Upon mastering sales best practices (3-6 months based on success/work ethic), this associate will be moved into a business development role, where strategic partnerships are formed with companies that can bring multiple projects to the company on a consistent, ongoing basis.

What to expect:Entry Level is where it starts:

• Week long training program to learn sales best practices, our services, and general information.
• Reaching out to businesses primarily by phone calls to start, but also through meetings & job boards.

**Business Development is just one direction for growth within the company:

• Reaching out to business who go beyond ‘one time’ website projects. These are the companies that can send you several jobs a month. From a financial standpoint, a lot of money can be made here, but we first want to make sure you prove yourself through cold calls and hard work!

• A passion for making shit happen. This is not bullshit. We mean it.
• Keen judgment and decision making skills.
• Curiousity. StickOutSocial puts a lot of value in asking questions - to our clients and to each other.
• Good with numbers. Our services offer relief and results. Being able to quantify results accurately and clearly is a must.
• A good sense of humor. Yup. It’s a requirement.
• Experience in Sales or Account Management. Not required, but it helps!

• We are located near Wells and Van Buren in downtown Chicago. We are steps away from two CTA stops, Quincy/Wells (Brown/Green/Orange/Pink/Purple) and LaSalle (Blue).
• There’s a lot of energy in our office
• Typically we have snacks delivered to the office on a monthly basis… meaning 2 weeks we are gorging chips… and then we run out and starve for 2 weeks. We need to work on this.
