Who are you?

After working for at least 1 year in a customer sales role, you have become confident at bypassing gatekeepers, identifying decision makers, and closing business! You are a self-starter, able to work independently, and are incentive-driven. Hunting for new business fuels your passion for sales. Cultivating lasting customer relationships plays on your strengths, including being able to efficiently handle client challenges and use emotional intelligence to guide your interactions.

You are a problem solver - when a client presents you with a challenge you don't get stumped; instead, the wheels in your mind start turning to generate solutions! You are excited about collaborating with the TRAFFIX team of experts to curate solutions that will optimize your client's transportation network while achieving sales success for TRAFFIX.

Furthermore, you are an excellent communicator and are comfortable speaking with prospects working in the warehouse of medium-sized companies up to C-Suite executives of Fortune 500 corporations.

Finally, complacency drives you crazy! You don't believe in "getting comfortable" - you want to constantly be growing your book of business.
