Maison Italic: High-ticket sales for luxury Italian furniture.
Maison Italic is a premier interior architecture and procurement house that brings the world-renowned "Made in Italy" excellence to high-end residential and commercial projects. With a portfolio of over 500 elite Italian manufacturers, we provide turnkey solutions for discerning clients who demand the highest standards of design and craftsmanship. We are seeking a seasoned Outbound Sales Professional to act as our brand ambassador. Your mission is to initiate relationships with high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), property developers, and commercial architects to introduce our bespoke design and procurement services. Key Responsibilities Strategic Outbound Prospecting: Conduct cold calls to a curated list of potential clients and partners to introduce Maison Italic’s value proposition. Lead Qualification: Identify the specific needs of prospects, ranging from turnkey interior design to bespoke furniture procurement. Appointment Setting: Successfully bridge the gap between initial contact and a formal consultation with our design team. CRM Management: Maintain meticulous records of calls, follow-ups, and lead status. Brand Representation: Communicate with the sophistication and professional vocabulary expected in the luxury furniture and architecture industry. Required Skills & Experience Proven Track Record: Minimum 5 years of experience in high-ticket outbound sales or business development. Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with the luxury furniture market, interior design, or the "Made in Italy" sector is highly preferred. Exceptional Communication: Fluent, persuasive English (additional languages like Italian or Arabic are a plus) with a polished "corporate-executive" tone. Resilience: A veteran mindset—able to navigate gatekeepers and turn "no" into "not right now." What We Provide Legal Backing: You will be representing a brand fully owned and operated by Global Concierge, a registered entity under RAK International Corporate Centre (Registration No: 0149). Marketing Support: Access to our digital portfolio and website (https://maisonitalic.com) to support your sales efforts. Compensation: Competitive hourly rate plus a highly attractive commission structure on successful conversions/contracts. How to Apply Please provide a brief summary of your most successful high-ticket sales achievement. If you have a recording of a past sales call or a voice sample, please include it. We are looking for the "voice" of Maison Italic. The "Maison Italic" Executive Sales ScriptPhase 1: The Hook (The First 15 Seconds) "Good morning/afternoon, [Prospect Name]. My name is [Salesperson Name] calling from the London/Dubai office of Maison Italic. I’m reaching out because we are currently expanding our portfolio of turnkey interior projects in [Prospect’s City/Region], and your recent project at [Reference a specific project if known] caught our attention." Phase 2: The Value Proposition "We specialize in bridging the gap between high-end architectural vision and the 'Made in Italy' manufacturing world. We represent over 500 elite Italian manufacturers, providing everything from bespoke furniture and lighting to full-scale interior architecture. Essentially, we act as the single point of contact—handling the design, the direct procurement from Italy, and the final installation." Phase 3: The Discovery Question "I noticed on your website that you focus on [Luxury Residential/Commercial Spaces]. Are you currently managing any projects where sourcing authentic, high-caliber Italian craftsmanship has been a challenge or where you're looking for a more streamlined 'turnkey' solution?" Phase 4: Handling the "I already have a supplier" Objection "I completely understand. Most of our partners already have established channels. However, Maison Italic is unique because we provide direct access to the manufacturers that aren't typically available through standard retail showrooms. Because we operate under our parent facility, Global Concierge, we handle the entire logistics and banking tail, so you don't have to deal with multiple international vendors." Phase 5: The Close (The Appointment) "I’d love to send you a digital copy of our latest curated portfolio so you can see the quality of our recent installations. Beyond that, would you be open to a 10-minute introductory call next Tuesday with our Head of Design? We can discuss how we might be able to simplify your procurement for your next project." If Accepted we will need to sign an NDA subject to receiving passport and ID documents and proof of address of the agent. At Maison Italic, we don't hire 'callers'; we hire future partners. While we provide a $300 base to cover your desk, our top performers in this role earn over $1,500 a month. One project close for a luxury villa could earn you a bonus that pays for your entire year's rent.

16 days ago7 proposalsRemoteUnethical or Fraudulent Behavior
Choose the company name Tesla Amazon Netflix Starbucks JetBlue Walt Disney Proctor & Gamble In your initial post, introduce yourself and address the following: Select the company you'd like to focus on for your project. Summarize an article about unethical and/or fraudulent activity on your selected company. Include the following details in your response: Include the citation. If you can't find unethical or fraudulent activity, review the legal proceedings section of the company's 10-K and summarize one of the lawsuits described there. Explain how the unethical and/or fraudulent activity or lawsuit was resolved and whether it could have been prevented. Part 2 In your responses to two peers, be sure to address the following: If your peer posted an article on unethical and/or fraudulent activity, explain how the accounting department could have prevented the unethical and/or fraudulent activity that happened in the article your peer shared. If your peer posted a lawsuit, explain the potential impact of the lawsuit on its customers and organization as a whole. First respond. Hi everyone, my name is Gagandeep Singh, and I am an accounting student. For this course project, I chose to focus on Amazon because it is a very large company that has faced ethical and legal issues in its business operations. The article I reviewed talks about how Amazon admitted there was a risk of fraud on its platform from counterfeit products being sold by sellers. These fake and counterfeit goods broke the trust of customers, brand owners, and Amazon shareholders since it ruins the trust of the company supplying these items and the shareholders who invest into this company. The article explains that Amazon did not do enough to stop these counterfeit products, which caused concerns about ethics and consumer protection (Brachmann, 2019). Amazon increased efforts to remove counterfeit sellers and fake products from its platform by investing more money into fraud detection systems and brand protection programs. The issue could have been prevented earlier if Amazon had stronger controls and processes of verification in place before allowing sellers to list products. The way to make sure this doesn't happen in the future is to have better monitoring and stricter seller approval processes. Reference Brachmann, S. (2019). Amazon admits to fraud risk: Counterfeiting woes affect shareholders, brand owners and consumers. Inventors’ Digest. Second respond My name is Matt, and I am a junior at Southern New Hampshire University. I am 21 years old and currently pursuing a degree in business-related studies with an interest in accounting and financial analysis. I am looking forward to developing a deeper understanding of earnings quality and ethical financial reporting throughout this course. For my ACC 345 project, I have selected Tesla, Inc. as the company I will be focusing on. Tesla has experienced rapid growth and strong market performance in recent years, but it has also been involved in several ethical and legal controversies that raise questions about earnings quality and corporate governance. A recent article published by Reuters discusses allegations related to Tesla’s marketing and disclosures surrounding its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) technologies. According to the article, U.S. regulators, including the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, have investigated whether Tesla made misleading statements to consumers and investors by overstating the capabilities of its driver-assistance systems. These claims raised ethical concerns because exaggerated or misleading disclosures could influence investor decisions and artificially support stock prices, thereby impacting earnings quality (Shepardson, 2023). The issue has not yet been fully resolved, as investigations were ongoing at the time of publication. However, Tesla has updated some of its disclosures and marketing language to clarify that its vehicles do not offer fully autonomous driving. This situation may have been prevented through stronger internal controls, more conservative public disclosures, and clearer communication with regulators and consumers. Transparent reporting and ethical marketing practices are essential to maintaining investor trust and ensuring that reported earnings reflect the company’s true financial performance. Reference Shepardson, D. (2023). U.S. probes Tesla over claims about self-driving cars. Reuters.
