About Us: J&amp;S Transportation ships cars and trucks across the USA. Founded in Billings, Montana in 2000, we’ve shipped over half a million vehicles on our own truck fleet and with our shipping partners. Help us grow the next phase of our business! This is a growth opportunity in the new consumer retail division in our company. Historically we’ve served a business clientele like auto auctions and car dealers, but now we’re creating a service for individuals who want to ship a car. It’ll grow into a national direct-to-consumer auto transport brokerage. We’ve invested in an innovative real-time pricing technology so we can scale up and confidently stand behind our automated price quotes. This is different than competitors who confuse customers about the final delivery price. To promote our unique online quote and booking platform, we’re organizing our marketing, sales and customer service programs. Top priority is the hiring of an enthusiastic&nbsp;Customer Success &amp; Sales Specialist&nbsp;to serve our customers. You will report to the owner and be part of a small team. You will not be the only person in this role, but work with an existing team to help nurture relationships with customers. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qlX10Y3AfI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch this video describing the job.</a> Sales + Service: This is an opportunity for the right person who has experience in customer service and wants to grow sales expertise. If you are uncomfortable asking for the money to complete an order from people who contacted us seeking a quote, this is NOT for you.
