  • Maintain accurate forecasts, account plans, and activity records.
  • Build long-term relationships that drive renewals, upsells, and cross-sells across the account base.
  • Stay current on industry trends, competitor offerings, and emerging telecom technologies.
  • Represent the company at trade shows, industry events, and client meetings.


Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of B2B sales experience, with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, consultative sales cycles with multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong prospecting, negotiation, and closing skills.
  • Comfortable selling to and presenting in front of IT leaders and C-suite executives.
  • Proficiency with CRM tools and a disciplined approach to pipeline and forecast management.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Self-motivated, resilient, and comfortable working toward aggressive targets.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel as needed.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Existing relationships and a network within the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan.
  • Knowledge of fiber-based connectivity products such as Dedicated Internet (DIA), Metro Ethernet, Dedicated Point-to-Point Ethernet, SD-WAN, and MPLS, including bandwidth, SLAs, and circuit delivery.
  • Familiarity with channel partners and carrier ecosystems.
  • Experience with sales methodologies such as MEDDIC, Challenger, Sandler, or Solution Selling.


What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary with uncapped commission and accelerators for over-performance.
