  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Comfortable making a high volume of phone calls and conducting negotiations
  • Competitive, motivated, and goal-oriented mindset
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills
  • Ability to multitask and prioritize in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a team
