Responsibilities

Imagine you have had the same slow internet and TV provider for many years and haven’t been satisfied with the number of outages that occur on a regular basis and less-than-helpful customer support. You don’t think you have any other options, but then a refreshingly friendly Outside Residential Sales Representative with BendBroadband shows up on your doorstep to discuss some new options for you to explore. You learn about their services that can run directly to your home and will provide you with internet that is more reliable, has faster speeds, saves you money, and connects you to the people you care about most.

Are you this helpful sales representative who is excited about the opportunity to help your community stay connected?
