The role: With thousands of businesses around you, virtually all with websites crying out for Managed Search Engine Marketing, we need bright, hungry go-getters to bring these new clients into the Vertical Leap fold! Our Campaign Account Managers are totally focused on front-end sales: once a sales prospect has converted, that client is handled by other departments within the business leaving you free to carry on selling! With the full back-up of Vertical Leap including advice, publicity material and motivated leads generated via on-going marketing activity, you’ll contact and meet suitable local businesses and convert these sales prospects into clients.
