Continued employment beyond the program is based on successfully progressing into that next‑level role.

Responsibilities

• Learn How to Identify New Business Opportunities: Build foundational prospecting skills by learning how to research local businesses, identify decision‑makers, and begin outreach through cold calling, referrals, networking, business directories, and other outbound B2B sales methods.
• Learn How to Build and Manage a Sales Pipeline: Receive hands‑on training in how to organize prospects, track activity and next steps in the CRM, and understand how opportunities move from initial outreach through quoting, closing, and order execution.
• Develop Discovery and Client Communication Skills: Practice how to ask effective questions, identify client needs, communicate the value of fleet graphics and vehicle advertising solutions, and build confidence in sales conversations.
• Learn Alongside Experienced Sales Leaders: Partner with senior sales professionals on quotes, follow‑up, client handoffs, project coordination, and client communication while developing full‑cycle sales skills.
• Prepare to Advance to the Next Level Role: Build the product knowledge, activity habits, sales skills, and confidence needed to progress into a Local Sales Associate position. High performers may have the opportunity to advance before the six‑month development program is complete.

Qualifications

• Bachelors/associate degree in business or related field and/or customer facing work (internship, job, athletics, etc.)
• No prior sales experience necessary; just a strong willingness to learn, accept coaching, and improve consistently through feedback and effort
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• 2 years of Microsoft Office
• Valid driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle; ability to travel locally
• Outgoing, coachable, and competitive
• Grit and persistence
• See challenges as problems to solve
• Thrive in a fast‑paced, in‑office, team environment
