Inside a Spectrum Outside Sales Career

There's a strong connection here

What is outside sales like? 

Our residential outside sales representatives work in assigned territories, prospect for new customers and introduce residents to our Internet, Mobile, Video and Voice options. The work includes going door to door and developing leads through in-person outreach. 

Autonomy with clear goals 

You will have autonomy to manage your time and prioritize activity within your territory. That freedom comes with accountability for consistent prospecting, accurate follow-up and results. Not every conversation leads to a sale, so resilience and professionalism are important. 

Schedule and work environment 

Outside sales takes place primarily in the field, with occasional office meetings or training. Your schedule may include evenings and weekends because those are times when residents are more likely to be home. You will also work outdoors in changing conditions and travel within your territory. 

Earnings, training and safety 

Our sales roles may combine hourly pay with commissions and incentives. Actual pay, targets and plan rules vary by opening, so use the compensation details in the current posting rather than assuming a specific income. We provide paid training, identifiable apparel and personal safety equipment. 

Who may thrive 

This career may fit you if you are self-motivated, coachable, comfortable meeting new customers and organized enough to manage your own activity while working toward measurable goals.
