THE POSITION
At UGL Equis, while their primary responsibility is generating new business, our associates are also involved working at the CEO/CFO level developing strategies to diagnose and solve business problems. Additional responsibilities expand to include preparing market surveys, conducting research on companies, and communicating with existing clients. With our substantial growth over the past few years, associates are expected to assume unusually significant levels of responsibility requiring a high degree of maturity, self confidence, and analytical ability. The work is exciting and particularly challenging, especially during the first year, however earning potential for successful candidates is well into the six-figure range.
OUR REAL ESTATE TRAINING PROGRAM
All associates participate in our development program that includes service and product knowledge seminars, negotiating and prospecting skill development, real estate transaction process training and self-guided tutorials on other topics. Our associates are also assigned to a carefully chosen senior mentor who is ultimately responsible for teaching all aspects of the business and ensuring success.
SUCCESSFUL PROFILE
Our firm seeks candidates with the ability to work hard in a fast-paced, autonomous environment, and thrive on competition through high-level prospecting activity. Associates come from a wide variety of backgrounds, however individuals with successful stock brokerage, life insurance and/or outside sales experience have done especially well in our business. We will also consider exceptional recent college graduates with a background showing leadership and social networking ability such as involvement in a fraternity/sorority, or leadership through athletics. Candidates do not need a real estate license before interviewing, however a real estate salesperson license will ultimately be required. The firm will only hire those applicants who, in our opinion, have the ability to earn a six-figure income by their second or third year in the business.
