Inside Sales Ninja-Rockstar!

M_Sai · February 17, 2009, 10:45pm

I’ve been on the campaign to jump from the footwear world to the wine biz for almost six months now (on the Marketing/Sales side). In that time I’ve read countless job descriptions, but this one takes the cake!

Self-starter: You are expected to hit the ground running.

they’ve been listening to our illustrious leader !
I haven’t read a job opportunity quite like that, did you apply ?

Well you’ve certainly got the gear for it …

Crush Pad is a fun place - I had a great time while I was making a barrel of pinot there, but my background is in brand marketing so selling over the phone isn’t exactly a career aspiration. I still give them an A++ for the job description - their in-house copywriter is great!

So…did you apply?

Nope - the job description was fun, but telemarketing isn’t my cup of tea.

But if anyone knows about an open position for a Marketing Ninja-Rockstar in the wine industry, I’m all ears!!

Who do you think that is? Could be Michael. He expects everyone to be a Ninja Rockstar! And many are!

Could be Michael - I only met a small portion of their staff when I was a customer, but everyone was great.
