Junior Sales Representative
About The Position
Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday and local businesses thrive. To date we have worked with over a million merchant partners worldwide, connecting over 16 million customers with deals across various categories. In a world often dominated by e-commerce giants, we stand out as one of the few platforms uniquely committed to helping local businesses succeed on a performance basis. Groupon is on a radical journey to transform our business with relentless pursuit of results. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and the speed of our transformation. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have the resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. About the Role: Groupon is growing and we’re looking for ambitious, energetic Junior Sales Representatives to join our sales team in Chicago’s River North. If your background includes sales, hospitality or other customer-facing roles where you regularly pitched , upsold , or handled objections , you’ll be well prepared to succeed here. As a Junior Sales Rep, you’ll be on the front lines helping local businesses grow. You’ll introduce them to Groupon, uncover their goals, and craft solutions that bring new customers through their doors.
