Must-Haves:

• Strong communication skills and confidence on the phone
• Trainable with a great attitude and willingness to learn
• College students or recent grads interested in logistics or sales OR individuals with hospitality/customer service experience
• Professional and presentable demeanor

Nice-to-Haves:

• Bilingual in Spanish is a major plus!
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office and CRM systems like Zoho
