I am in a cost sensitive situation, pending the effectiveness and success of projects I may be willing to set up a regular ongoing arrangement for half a day per week or more. Prior sales experience, perfect fluency with English, and superb manners are vital to this type of work. Please describe your familiarity with this type of work.
