Success Guide
This role is all about your ability to start conversations and build trust, so lean into that when you apply. Your CV should clearly show any sales, business development or recruitment experience you have, even if it was short term or part time. If you have cold called before or worked in a target driven environment, highlight it.
Because the role is fully remote, mention that you are self disciplined and have your own laptop and phone. The basic salary is modest, so show that you understand the commission structure and are motivated by it. In an interview, expect questions about how you handle rejection and how you keep yourself organised without a manager watching over you.
