Community Development Representative jobs in Jackson, MS

We are searching for current and former athletes with a competitive mindset to join our unconventional and dynamic sales team.  

Athletes are constantly looking for ways to challenge themselves, and we have cultivated a culture that rewards your "leave it all on the field mentality". It will be directly reflected in your paycheck, and each time you close a sale, it feels like a win! You won't have that feeling, just punching a time clock and making the same wage as everyone else. Reward should have a direct correlation to your effort.  

Days are not spent trapped in an office but out in the field meeting clients and yet, always part of a team.  

If you are someone who can push past the ugly, focus on goals and are not discouraged by the grind, we want to speak to you. This isn't an easy job, but nothing of value ever is.  

A CAREER WITH US PROVIDES WHAT'S BEEN MISSING:

• Ability to change lives and make a significant impact every day.  Our portfolio of supplemental health insurance products protect employees and small businesses. Our industry-leading products are win-win as they feature a built-in money-back feature. Clients are refunded if they never use the policy.

Our top priority is finding someone who aligns with our mission and core values of Ownership, Growth, and Service.

At Altitude, we provide extensive training, both in an online classroom setting and hands-on with an assigned trainer in your own sales territory. Your trainer will work with you to teach you the basics of the business sales cycle process but also more advanced sales techniques and skills. This position will consist of working in your own assigned sales territory most days and weeks, although travel weeks to sell in other territories with your fellow sales team members are scheduled and available regularly (travel is not required).

Our Ideal Candidate:

• Tough-minded, confident, and self-starting

• Disciplined and purposeful; with a desire to work independently

• Skilled at overcoming objections and not afraid of rejection

• Passionate about helping others 

• Loves the hunt and likes working in a dynamic, changing work environment

You will work with business owners, benefits managers, and their employees individually at times; other times, you will give product presentations with employee groups as large as 50-100 people. You will be expected to:

• Respond to general emails and phone calls from clients

We Offer:

• Virtual classroom training as well as hands-on sales training in your own territory

• Weekly pay with bonuses and commission eligibility upon start

• Major medical benefits available after first 90 days
