The AAE will gain field sales experience by traveling to customer locations independently or with an AE as directed by the Regional Manager, Sales. Duties include setting appointments, developing and delivering presentations, cold calling and closing sales. The AAE/District arrangement should be a win/win where the AAE gains valuable experience and the District receives additional sales support & coverage of open territories.

Once trained, the Manager will direct the AAE’s day-to-day sales activities.
