<p>There is an old adage that says, &#8220;Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it.&#8221; But a more truthful saying is, &#8220;You&#8217;ll never get what you don&#8217;t ask for.&#8221;</p>
<p>Successful people &#8212; in all walks of life &#8212; are those who are fundamentally better at asking for what they want. And successful &#8220;askers&#8221; typically get what they want more often. This common skill, of how to effectively ask for what you want, is generally not taught nor practiced, but is essential in achieving our goals and aspirations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>National Sales Manager/Account Executives</strong></p>
<p>• Are you that rare A-player sales professional with clearly defined goals for your life and a plan for how you will achieve them?</p>
<p>• Would you like the chance to sell a new and well-regarded investment research service for a growing company with huge untapped markets?</p>
<p>• Do you have a BS/BA with at least 5 years of high-ticket, complex, business to business sales experience?</p>
<p>• Are you a rainmaker with a verifiable track record that includes leading successful sales teams?</p>
<p>• Have you dreamed of ditching big-company politics and suits for a pair of blue</p>
<p>jeans in a smaller company where your impact is both real and noticeable?</p>
<p>If you answered “yes” to these questions, then we have one more:</p>
<p>• How would you like a professional sales career at a company where your success could easily make you the highest paid person in the firm? If so, then Disclosure Insight wants to hear from you.</p>
<p>Disclosure Insight, Inc., a strategic partner of Investment Technology Group (NYSE –ITG), publishes independent investment research. In concert with ITG, our strategic plan calls for substantial growth in revenue in our sizable and well-defined markets over the next few years.</p>

<p>As a key executive, our National Sales Manager/Account Executive is primarily responsible for maximizing revenue within our sizable and well-defined markets. The overall metric of your early success will center on the speed with which you:</p>
<p>• Earn and maintain the trust and confidence of the CEO and Board.</p>
<p>• Develop and implement your sales strategy to hit revenue targets.</p>
<p>• Your capacity to ring the register today while rounding out your team.</p>
<p>• The rates at which you and your team generate new business.</p>
<p>Successful sales professionals at Disclosure Insight earn a generous base with commission incentives that include a sizable recurring component based on the</p>
<p>business you book and retain.</p>
