Position Specific Description

Turn Your Call Center Experience Into a High-Earning Sales Career 

 

If you’re successful in collections, debt recovery, outbound calling, customer retention, or another high-volume call center environment, you already have many of the skills it takes to succeed in sales. 

You know how to pick up the phone. You know how to handle objections. You know how to have difficult conversations, negotiate, stay persistent, and work toward performance goals. 

 

Now it’s time to put those skills toward building your income and your career. 

 

We’re looking for competitive, motivated Inside Sales Representatives to join our Buffalo team. Previous energy sales experience is not required. We’re looking for people who are comfortable on the phone, motivated by results, and ready to learn how to turn conversations into new business. 

What You'll Do 

  •  Prospect and connect with potential business customers by phone 

  • Generate new opportunities through consistent outbound activity 

  • Identify customer needs and present solutions 

  • Build relationships with business decision-makers 

  • Handle questions and objections confidently 

  • Follow up consistently and move opportunities through the sales process 

  • Negotiate and close new business 

  • Manage your pipeline and work toward monthly sales goals 

 

Who We're Looking For 

 You could be a great fit if you have experience in:

  • Debt collections or recovery 

  • High-volume outbound call centers 

  • Customer retention 

  • Financial services 

  • Inside sales or telesales 

  • Account management 

  • Customer service with a strong performance or incentive component 

 

 Collections experience is especially valuable. Successful collectors develop many of the same skills we value in sales, including persistence, active listening, negotiation, objection handling, professionalism, and the ability to stay motivated in a results-driven environment. 

 

 Compensation & Earning Opportunity 

 We want high performers to have the ability to earn like high performers. 

  • Base Salary: $45,000-$60,000, based on experience 

  • Commission opportunity of up to $300,000 annually, paid monthly 

  • Additional performance-based annual bonus opportunity 

  • Strong earning potential for individuals who consistently perform at a high level 

 

Why Make the Move From Collections to Sales? 

 You’ve already learned how to make the calls, handle rejection, negotiate, and perform in a metric-driven environment. 

 Instead of calling someone about money they owe, imagine using those same skills to win new customers, build a book of business, and significantly increase your earning potential. 

 If you're competitive, coachable, resilient, and motivated by the opportunity to grow your income based on your results, we want to talk to you. 

 Ready to turn your call center experience into a sales career? Apply today.
