Present & Sell Majority Strategies' Product & Services

This position will be responsible for selling the full range of MS products and services to Political, Advocacy and Brand prospects and clients throughout their assigned region and nationally.

Advocacy and Brand opportunities are more consistently available. A concerted sales development plan to maximize those opportunities will also be required.

Managing to a Target

In the political segment of a strategist's book of business, the primary focus will be on races that are gubernatorial, state legislature and county-wide races. Races throughout the USA are also available to pursue using the CRM system to avoid conflicts with other National and State Team strategists already pursuing these races.
