Job Title:Entry Level Sales Representative
Location: Birmingham, AL
Job Type: Full-Time In-Person Client-Facing
About the Opportunity
MCL Talent Partners is recruiting on behalf of a Birmingham-area client expanding both its sales and leadership teams.
This is an entry-level, client-facing sales opportunity with two long-term career paths: representatives can focus on building their own book of business or pursue a leadership path focused on recruiting, developing, and supporting a team.
No previous industry or management experience is required. The client provides structured training, one-on-one mentorship, licensing support, and ongoing professional development.
Representatives begin by learning the client process, products, and sales systems while working directly with individuals and families. Those interested in leadership can take on additional responsibilities in representative development, coaching, and team performance as they progress.

Two Career Paths
Sales Production Track
Focus on developing your individual client base, strengthening your sales skills, and growing personal production.
Leadership Management Track
Develop additional skills in recruiting, onboarding, coaching, and supporting representatives while working toward increased team responsibility.
You do not need previous management experience to pursue the leadership track. Advancement is based on development and performance.

Coachable, self-motivated, and comfortable working toward goals
Organized with strong follow-through
Comfortable meeting and working with clients face-to-face
Interest in professional growth, sales, and/or developing others
