For the wedding and special events market in Northern California

Sales Manager Posted 11/20/2009

Looking for Sales Manager for small film production company in San Anselmo that specializes in wedding films.

A small description of the position’s responsibilities: It is a 9-5 job 5 days a week and your duties include answering the phone when clients or prospective clients call and working on creating agreements for them and then following up through the course of the year with them on any changes in regards to finances or logistics that need to be made. It is rather a mix of sales and client services. We have a great product (check it out at http://www.thomashughesfilms.com/blog) and thankfully it speaks for itself so when people call they already are excited about our product making the sales role of the position easier.

The other duties will be replying to emails from clients and other planners/vendors and acting as a liaison between the outside world and the rest of the office. You basically direct information where it needs to go.

There are 8 full time employees that work in the office and there are no cubicles! It is a close knit and pretty relaxed atmosphere where working as a team is the most critical factor to our success.

Pays $18/hr plus commission

Experience in sales and customer service preferred.
