Open Positions

Customer Advocate (Non-Traditional Sales)

uHost is currently building a non-traditional sales team of energetic, bright, pre-customer service technicians with a passion for helping people and an understanding of Linux.

What is a non-traditional sales team?

• We do not "sell," we "diagnose and offer honest opinions"
• We do not "push our solutions," we "determine whether the prospect is right for us and whether we're right for the prospect"
• We do not "close deals" we "put the interest of prospects above our own and let the deals close themselves"
• We do not "pay commissions for sales," we "pay salary and bonus for helping prospects make smart choices"

Are you as passionate about helping people as you are about Linux and other computer technologies? Do you thrive in a team environment and hate the competitive nature of traditional sales? Are you as happy supporting teammates as you are when teammates support you? Do you want a steady income instead of the feast-or-famine roller coaster found in a commission-based sales environment?

uHost is successful because of its passionate focus on doing what's best for its customers, and we are extending that passion into the pre-customer realm.
