Selling a must-have:

Imagine life without the Internet. Your communications are paralyzed. Your business is crippled. Internet is a must-have for every company, for every person. At Cogent, you’re armed with selling a “must-have” connection to the Internet instead of a “nice-to-have” new software suite or billing platform. You’re selling a service to a business that can’t function without it.

Established and reputable:

Cogent is a Global Internet Service Provider, consistently ranked as one of the top five networks in the world. Backed by Cisco Systems, we provide Internet service in over 260 markets globally. We were once a startup funded by venture capital. And while we have matured into a stable, publicly traded (NASDAQ: CCOI) company, we’ve retained our startup mentality—transparency in operations, open dialogue among departments, and fresh perspective from our newest employees. We omit titles from our business cards to deemphasize organizational hierarchy and bureaucracy.

Compensation:

Pay Range: $40,000 - $50,000
