We’re looking for a sales professional as we expand in Canada & the U.S.

After eight years of developing and refining my programs, Northbound is now poised to expand across Canada and the U.S.  The first step of the plan is to attract a top-notch sales professional who will help acquire clients to Northbound’s proven sales training programs.  Finding great sales talent can be like finding a needle in a haystack!

Why am I sharing this with you?  Because, in my experience, the best people come from networking.  Salespeople are often friends with other salespeople.  Sales leaders frequently know someone who would make a sales superstar but maybe don’t have an opening on their team for them.

This person needs to have a great attitude and have some experience in sales but they don’t have to be a sales superstar yet.  I can help grow them to become one!  Do you know of someone who fits the following description?  If you do, please contact me.

A referral for a great person is just as valuable as a referral to a client so I’m happy to offer $250 to you if you refer the special person who I end up hiring!

I can be contacted at 416-456-1440 or [email protected].

I appreciate your help.  If there’s any way I can help you or your business, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Cheers,

Michael
