Job Description
Southwestern Consulting (SWC) is the professional sales performance coaching, consulting and speaking division of the 155-year-old Southwestern Company. We focus on helping businesses and individuals reach their goals in life by providing 1-on-1 sales and leadership coaching and personal accountability. We accomplish this mission by applying proven principles and helping people create systems to be more efficient and effective with their time, their business, their money and their relationships. Please don’t be confused – this is a sales career.
We are practicing sales professionals who have a passion for helping coach, teach and train those we come in contact to learn, grow and improve just as we do for ourselves. We sell, we coach, we train, we present, we educate and we continue our self-education at all times. We are individuals and we are a team.
What we are looking for in a Coach
Our coaches are Top Producers first and coaches second. What makes SWC’s coaching program different from any other coaching program in the world is that in order to be a coach at SWC, first and foremost, you have to be a practitioner in the art of our business and sales. For over 155 years, Southwestern has trained, motivated and coached sales people and leaders to reach their goals in life. Some of our clients include: Bank of America, State Farm Insurance, DIRECTV, Mass Mutual, Northwestern Mutual, AFLAC, Xerox, Keller-Williams, Verizon Cellular Sales, Bridgestone Retail Operations, Wells Fargo and many more.
The reason our team of coaches choose to work at SWC instead of being a lone-wolf is that we are a team of intra-preneurs, meaning individually, each one of our coaches could start and run their own company, however we recognize the power of a united team with a common mission to build something bigger than we could ever do as in individual. We are entrepreneurs who know that two is better than one and five is better than two. We are a team of entrepreneurs working together for a common mission.
As a part of that mission we are looking for someone who has the following skill sets and qualities:
- Someone who is a top producing sales person and loves the art of selling
- Someone who is self-motivated and has the ability to self-manage out of a home office.
- Somebody who is looking for a dynamic team that is building the highest quality sales performance and sales leadership-coaching program in the country.
Not an ordinary job
This is not an 8-5 p.m. kind of career. This is a do whatever it takes kind of career in which you have a passion for building your business with and within SWC. If you are looking for a company that will babysit you while you learn the job – this probably isn’t the place for you. We want people who take the bull by the horns and who will work on figuring it out as they go. We will give you the words to say, the systems to use and the schedule to run with but you have to execute. You will have help and you will have support but more importantly you will have yourself and we expect you to use the talent in which we hired you for to figure this out. You will not be alone but we do expect you to work on your own as much as you work with us. This is not a place in which you will just be a coach, speaker or trainer without selling and practicing what you preach. To be a practitioner is to have integrity in our company. This is not a company in which you would expect a company car, corner office and cushy salary. We are entrepreneurs and want to create, build and grow a company that supports the type of environment that allows people to create their own schedule and build their own unique income streams through their passions in helping others.
