	&lt;div class=&quot;content-box-header&quot;&gt;
		Opening: Inside Sales Representative - FTE, Portland 
	&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div class=&quot;content-box-body&quot;&gt;
Our software product company is searching for a superhero inside sales representative for our downtown Portland office. Specifically, we&#039;re looking for someone to actively call potentially new customers using a script and a provided leads list.  This superhero needs to have a hands-on attitude, great verbal skills and not be afraid of the phone.
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
During the first year of this job, this superhero will work closely with our sales and marketing team to develop working knowledge of our business and our customers and parlay learned knowledge to gain customer trust.  This superhero should expect to be on the phone five to six hours each day. 
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The following things are requirements of the job. These are NOT negotiable:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2+ years of inside sales or telemarketing experience &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Intermediate client-oriented writing skills (please provide a writing sample) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Willingness to record relevant customer interactions in our web-based CRM package &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ability to work full time (40-45 hours a week) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Intermediate computer skills utilizing popular software like Microsoft Office, Google Apps, PDF tools, and similar &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Candidates with the experience below will be given extra consideration:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with Salesforce.com &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with LinkedIn, Google, Wikipedia&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Demonstrable public speaking or presentation skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Knowledge of the Agile software development industry &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;
So enough about what we seek in a candidate.  What can we offer?  We&#039;re a stable but small, eight-year-old business based in the Seattle area with a strong Portland presence.  We do technology consulting in addition to our product sales so our environment is a mix of tech-casual and professional services.  We offer our employees and their Dependants 100% employer paid medical coverage through a premium carrier.  We offer all employees short-term disability, long-term disability and life insurance along with a 401k. Pre-tax accounts including those for medical care, dependent care, and transportation are open to all employees. Although this is a full-time position, we offer flexible scheduling, upon mutual agreement of employees, teams and supervisors.  Lastly, we have a strong focus on education and training, so we will spend the time to train you before you are expected to represent our company and our brand. 
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Danube Technologies, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.&lt;/strong&gt;
