  • Ability to advise and consult with savvy vacation homeowners to build the foundation of a long-term relationship.
  • A track record of sales success and quota or over quota attainment.
  • Strong communication skills while being comfortable contacting leads by phone, email, in-person, and over video conference.

  • Quickly follow up on all in-bound leads and proactively hunt for new sales opportunities through tele-sales, video conferencing, and in-person meetings.

  • You'll be expected to travel to prospect homes as/if needed, join networking groups and attend scheduled and ad hoc meetings with your leader from time to time. But, we are not a meeting driven organization. Results are key and your success is based upon your ability to bring in new business.
  • Occasional offsite meetings may be required from time to time and this role does require frequent use of computers, phones, handheld devices and other office equipment.
  • Work hours may vary and occasional after hours or weekends calls may be required to meet the demands of prospective clients. But...it's ultimately your decision on how, when and if to work beyond "standard" office hours.
