So… you’re wondering what is this role about?

To be honest, we are not looking for an Inside Sales Associate, that’s merely a title. What we are looking for is Hunger! For people who are hungry to go out a play in the major leagues even though they have no name, to sit down and drive results that create an impact, and to go out of their way to get things done when it matters most. We’re looking for freshers who possess the energy, the passion, the drive, but most importantly, the desire to prove themselves and create an impact.

This is a role that can be considered the backbone of sales at Insider. A crucial part of this role is to identify and reach out to prospective sales opportunities. This is where our ‘growth’ begins.

We also realize that most Job Descriptions almost always sound like the description of an A-380 but when you’ve arrived at the airport what you find is a Cessna twin-seater! We want to write a JD that’s realistic and as close to the real thing as possible. How can we do this? So, we thought about it and realized that the best JD for this role is one that comes from the insights of other Inside Sales specialists. Here’s what they have to say:

Okay… now you’re thinking, what do we expect from you?

• University degree in a related field
• Relevant experience such as SDR or Inside Sales is a plus
• A fair understanding of the eCommerce markets
• Ability to multitask and manage time effectively
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English
