SALES REPRESENTATIVE

Company Description: Welcome to Funovation, where we create heart-pounding addictive attractions that require brain & brawn! Four of us founded this creative company to design, manufacture, market and install amusement attractions based on cool ideas that would be fun to try.  We create products that are Fun, Innovative, Safe and High-quality.  The first line of attractions is the Laser Maze Challenge™.  This is an attraction that sets up a web of lasers and times participants navigating their way through them.  For example, imagine being a jewel thief having to navigate through a web of lasers to capture a priceless jewel and then returning through the maze to safety and pressing a button at the end, determining your time.

Background of Position: The Sales Representative will, in essence, be a business owner. He/She will be responsible for a particular market and “own” the process in delivering results from that market. The Sales Representative will have full support from Funovation, but will be given the autonomy and flexibility to manage his/her market in the best manner he/she determines. Some guidelines will be in place in order to support the sales effort and align with the company vision, but results will be the metric and creative ownership the path!

Attitude: Most important! And to add extra emphasis, really important. A “can do” attitude is a must. One who relishes a new challenge and is inspired and excited to “own” their work and do whatever it takes to deliver the determined results/deliverables.

Teamwork: The Sales Representative must “play well in the sandbox”. He/She will interact with all areas of the company in order to accomplish the determined goals.

Required Skills:

1. Excellent communication skills. This is such an ambiguous statement, but one that honors and respects open, clear, timely, courteous and honest communications.
2. Excellent phone rapport. Most if not all of the selling process will be done via phone. An ability to connect with potential and current customers via phone is key.
3. Excellent organizational skills. Especially since we are in a high growth stage of the company, the ability to process and organize many activities will be critical.
4. Experience with ACT! This is the contact manager used and a familiarity with its workings will be helpful.
5. A strong computer background. Many software programs will be utilized when selling and developing each market. Programs such as Word, Excel, Photoshop and others. Competent knowledge and confidence here will be important.
6. Excellent project management skills. Part of the Sales Representative’s duties will be to help manage the process from sale complete to installation. The Project Coordinator will be leading this effort, but teamwork between these two positions will be important with the ultimate goal of a delighted and successful customer.
7. A comfortable multi-tasker. As with most early stage, fast-growing companies, many side projects will arise that will be important to the completion of the sale. The Sales Representative must be able to handle multiple projects simultaneously and relish the variety!
8. To have fun. A key skill required to be a part of the Funovation team. We all work our tails off, but we sure do enjoy the ride! The Sales Representative must buy into this vision.
   
   Background: Ideal candidate enjoys working in a fast-paced and varied environment. He/She relishes new challenges and takes pride in owning his/her work and delivering quality results. 3-5 years sales experience would be helpful but end of the day, it’s all about a positive attitude, the “fire in the belly” to accomplish determined goals and the ambition & excitement to be a part of something special.

Compensation: To be determined
