After a challenging pandemic, we are rebuilding as our clients are asking more and more of us in the year ahead. Today we have more people on the team than we did going into the pandemic, and as we continue to grow, new positions are being added to help us scale the business. Part of that expansion is adding this position.
The avad3 Sales Representative will serve customers by helping in the initial phases of their events. Serving through sales gives customers an accessible point of contact to discuss and kickstart new projects while our crews of production managers and techs are busy in the field serving today’s projects.
The ideal qualified candidate has a technical knowledge and passion for event production, they’re comfortable and capable at closing sales opportunities, and has experience staying organized in a customer-facing role.
