About Video Reality

Video Reality has been in the audio/visual design and installation business for over 25 years.  In that time, we have been creating custom integration solutions for schools, government agencies, and businesses throughout Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Video Reality has a heavy foothold in the K-12 school market as well as Higher Education.  We also work deeply with commercial and corporate entities as well as State agencies.  We design and install systems as simple as basic conference rooms and classrooms, to heavily complex multi-room event centers, sports arenas and emergency operations centers.

We are looking for someone with the following traits:

• Heavily self-motivated
• Outgoing, enthusiastic and willing to talk to everyone
• Willing to work hard and potentially long hours
• Solid understanding of how to use today’s technology with a preference towards someone with a solid understanding of commercial AV technology

Responsibilities:

If these qualities fit your personality, here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Use the phone, email, social media and networking events to identify and connect with relevant individuals at local and regional schools, businesses and government agencies.
• Schedule meetings to discuss the integration of audio-visual technologies to meet client needs and objectives.
• Collaborate internally to help with systems designs and aid through the sales process.
• Help coordinate installations with clients.
• Provide sales support and ongoing client relations.

This is a unique opportunity where the payout can be fantastic and the opportunity for long term growth and promotion could be huge for the right person.  Make no mistake…this position will not be for the faint of heart.  You will be responsible for managing your time efficiently and effectively.  You will be rigorously prospecting for new clients.  You will be expected to communicate to discuss strategies and opportunities.

However, you will also be backed one of Oklahoma’s most prominent AV companies that already has a very solid reputation and foothold in a number of vertical markets.  You will be given all the tools you need to succeed…it will just be up to you to execute!  Can you do it?
