Working hours: Monday - Friday 9:00AM-5:00PM . There may be days that a little more time is needed at the end of the day to complete tasks for the next days events. Obviously you would be paid for that as well.
Additional hours : On some occasions it would be preferable for the sales rep to go out to work events as well. Not only does this help with our staffing events, it also helps the sales rep get a better understanding of how things work at events. This will help a sales rep to better plan and price events for the future. In addition to the 9 to 5 and the occasional out in the field, we attend about 4 or 5 trade shows throughout the year (mostly later fall and later winter) where we have a booth in an exhibit hall. These shows are usually always Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun. Hotel rooms are provided by the company. Attendance at some of these shows would be required. If you are unable to go away on business for a weekend or possibly occasionally work in the field on a Saturday, this position would not be for you.

It would be helpful to know if you've had any experience in sales or event planner and also your salary expectations. Our office is very casual, easy going, and certainly not fancy. We've got 2 cats that roam our office and a dog that visits every so often.
Once we receive both the Indeed submission and the completed mini-application, we will contact you.
