Help Wanted: Inbound Sales Associate

The core responsibility for this position will be to sell Cornershop’s products and services to potential clients via inbound leads. This position will be responsible for responding to sales inquiries, carefully reviewing and responding to client briefs and RFPs, meeting with potential clients, evaluating sales qualification/potential, creating accurate estimates, writing proposals, presenting sales pitches, and preparing relevant details for the project team. In addition to performing those duties for Cornershop, this position will be expected to occasionally attend conferences and client meetings.

Since we are a web agency that works with nonprofits, our ideal candidate will have a passion for social justice, experience working with the nonprofit community, and a working knowledge of WordPress and/or digital marketing.
