Entry Level Health It Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

Technology Sales Representative (Entry Level) - SMB IT Solutions

Sell Solutions. Build Relationships. Grow a Career.

At Connection, you won't be limited to selling one product or one brand - you'll learn to sell solutions.

As a ValueAdded Reseller (VAR) and Fortune 1000 IT Solutions Provider, Connection gives you access to 460,000+ technology products and services from 1,600+ vendors, including Apple, Cisco, and Microsoft. That means you can take a consultative approach, recommending what's truly best for each customer.

If you're curious, competitive, and motivated by having multiple ways to win, this role was built for you.

About the Role

As a Technology Sales Representative, you'll build longterm relationships with small to midsized businesses (up to 3,000 seats) across a variety of industries. You'll learn to manage the full sales cycle - from prospecting and discovery to quoting and growing accounts - while building your own book of business.

Unlike traditional sales roles tied to a single product line, you'll develop as a trusted advisor, guiding customers through IT decisions with support from Connection's internal experts and vendor partners.

Success in this role comes down to consistency: strong time management, daily activity, and proactive customer engagement.
