● The Kind of Person We Want

- You love the chase

You enjoy finding opportunities, starting conversations, and turning complete strangers into long-term clients.

Calls don't intimidate you. Whether it's introducing yourself, following up, or handling objections, you're confident speaking to decision-makers.
- You're persistent
