“Abstrakt was only my second job after graduating from Mizzou, and I've been here for over 12 years. I started as an entry-level Sales Development Rep with no sales background and limited business experience.”
“At Abstrakt, we don't just offer jobs; we offer career launchpads. I've personally held 10 different roles here, starting as an entry-level SDR and working my way up to VP.”
We'll Invest in Your Development. You Bring the Drive.
No one is handed a phone and a list on day one. Every new rep is trained before the first call and certified on each client before representing it. After that, the coaching never really stops: your manager listens to calls and coaches the floor every week.
That matters most if you have never sold anything. You learn the hardest skill in business first, researching an account, reaching the decision-maker and asking for the meeting, and you get paid while you learn it.
