This will be a national position providing the ability to run in the beginning without the exclusion of territories. This means the USA really is your oyster. Your responsibilities will span all sales aspects from creating and managing a healthy sales pipeline, to winning and closing this business, supporting implementation and maintaining relationships with those clients. Additionally, you will provide vital sales support to new and existing independent contractors in our network to help grow their portfolios through your own pipeline and theirs helping them convert their leads.

Your ultimate mission will be to drive growth and retention, nurturing success for both clients and our network of independent contractors.

No two days will be the same, as effective process and time management will be essential in balancing independent contractor acquisition with securing new corporate business accounts.

1000 MTG specializes in converting travel careers into businesses and helping those businesses grow. As a forward-thinking company, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional service and fostering growth within our network.
