Key Skills
1. Must-Have Soft Skills:
• Thick Skin & Resilience: Sales involves rejection. They must be able to hear "No" 10 times and still make the 11th call with enthusiasm.
• Curiosity: A genuine interest in how businesses work (e.g., "How does a factory manage inventory?"). If they aren't curious, they can't sell ERP.
• Communication: Clear verbal English is non-negotiable for international calls. Written English must be professional for emails/LinkedIn.
2. Technical/Hard Skills (Bonus if they have them):
• LinkedIn Proficiency: Knowing how to search for people by "Job Title" and "Location."
• Basic Research Skills: Ability to find a company's decision-maker using Google/LinkedIn (not just calling the 'Info' number).
• Tech-Savviness: Familiarity with ChatGPT (to write emails) or basic CRM tools.
3. The "Finbyz Fit" (Cultural Fit):
• Problem Solver: Instead of asking "What do I type?", they should ask "What is the goal of this message?"
• Hustle Mindset: Willingness to visit an expo or pick up the phone without hesitation.
