You
You're might have plenty of sales experience, or you might be looking for your way into a sales role, but you may not have the experience that most of these positions are looking for. Maybe you've worked in retail, in hospitality or on an airline, or you're tired of working evenings / weekends.

- Lots of Sales Experience
- No Sales Experience
- Type 60 words a minute
- Type slowly with one finger on each hand
- Experience with CRM
- Think "CRM" stands for "Can't Remember Much"
- Interested in doing a good job and earning good money

Totally flexible on everything else, it's a Work From Home position so you need good phone reception, decent WiFi, and a good sense of humour. We'll show you exactly what to do and support you every step of the way.
