• What does the training process look like?
  
  The training process is a 2-month process. The first 4 weeks are a highly focused mixture of class time, online learning, and on-the-job coaching. By the second week of training, you will be actively making phone calls and working on building your own sales pipeline while also completing online learning courses and working to close new business. You will start out by calling through our database of hundreds of thousands of leads. As your skill set grows you will be wrapped into the lead flow and will receive live leads in real time. Your time on the phone during training is fully supported by training staff and experienced Marketing Consultants.

  The upward mobility for a Sales Associate is to move into the Marketing Consultant role and eventually lead a team as a Director of Sales. Directors of Sales lead and support a team of 10 Marketing Consultants. These are micro teams within the macro sales team.
