You will be out of the office plenty – probably half your time – following up with clients, pitching ad proposals to prospects, attending promotional events, making sales. Most of your business will be inside 128 and probably closer to the center of Boston.
What are the skills I need to be successful?
You have to be able to keep lots of balls in the air at one time and not drop any.
You have to be willing to make appointments with prospects and be persistent in convincing them to buy from us.
