You'll be doing actual sales work from day one — building relationships, closing deals, and earning commission on what you close.

Comfortable with ambiguity and excited by building something from scratch. You understand that sales is about solving problems, not just pitching products. You track your own metrics without being asked. You write clearly and persuasively. When you hear "no," you ask "why?" instead of giving up. 📝 Interview Process Application review 15-min phone screen Take-home exercise (write outreach sequences for 2 ICPs) Final interview with founding team (45 min, includes role-play) Timeline: 1-2 weeks from application to offer Website: https://blaze.money
