AMP Careers.

How long have you been with AMP? What drew you here to AMP?
I’ve been with AMP for over two and a half years, approaching three in May. Before AMP, I worked in healthcare for four and a half years, including during COVID, but hit a glass ceiling. I was the hardest worker but was still getting paid the same, so I wanted more control over my income. I also wanted to work for a company that helps build up the community, which is what initially drew me to AMP.

What are some of your favorite things about AMP?
The best part about AMP is definitely our culture. As someone involved in hiring, I talk about it a lot with new candidates. From day one, there’s so much support, and since we promote from within, it creates a leadership mindset where everyone wants everyone to succeed. Unlike other sales companies that can feel like “every man for himself,” AMP is the complete opposite. Everyone’s willing to help because they’ve been in the same role, and the culture of being surrounded by like-minded, growth-focused people is something AMP has really cultivated.

Can you tell me a little bit about your transition from Outside Sales to Recruiting?
I started in Outside Sales in Wisconsin in 2022 and promoted quickly, setting a company record in my first month. I moved into leadership after four months and became Assistant District Manager in about 10 months. When our CEO spoke about expanding the company, I moved to Tampa, Florida, opened a new territory as District Manager, and built my own team. Recently, I transitioned into a Recruiting Team Manager role, which feels like a full-circle moment, allowing me to share my passion for the role with new candidates.

Given your experience here at AMP, what are some of the key skills that you’ve picked up over the years?
One of my main takeaways has been becoming comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Since we’re not industry-specific, I’ve had the chance to work with a wide variety of people and learn about different industries and how they make money. That has led to significant personal growth. Additionally, honing my leadership skills has been key. While I’ve always had leadership roles, AMP’s personalized training for each promotion has helped me refine my management skills, which I really value.

Looking ahead in the future, what are your goals? What are you trying to grow toward?
My main goal was to transition from Senior Hiring Manager to Recruiting Team Manager, which I recently achieved. Long-term, I aim to grow in hiring leadership, develop strong hiring managers, and continue building our sales team.

What is one thing that keeps you motivated to come to work every day?
The team is a huge motivator. Whether in recruiting or sales, leaning into your teams makes all the difference. Daily morning meetings in recruiting and Morning Success Calls in outside sales kept us all connected, informed, and supported, even when working remotely.

What is one piece of wisdom you’d give to new hires or people looking to join the company?
Be a student of the game. The training at AMP has been fine-tuned over the years and works incredibly well. To succeed, soak up everything. Lean on your team, District Manager, and Assistant District Manager. At AMP, it’s not “every man for himself”; everyone is there to help you succeed. Take advantage of that support to build your success.

How long have you been with AMP?
Since March of 2024, so 10 months now.

What drew you to AMP in the beginning?
My recruiter’s initial communication was excellent, making everything easy. The transparency in explaining the business and its community impact was fantastic. I had an observation day with my District Manager, Kayli Maucione, and that provided a unique, thorough insight into AMP, showcasing an honest, gimmick-free process. It’s clear straightforward, and second to none – a truly fantastic experience.

What’s your favorite aspect of AMP’s mission to help independent, family-owned businesses?
I love this company and everything it stands for. Each day, we help businesses grow, gain visibility, and succeed by teaching them to use our tools – essential in today’s digital world. We’re not just supporting businesses but also empowering consumers and impacting families, creating a butterfly effect that benefits entire communities.

What are some key skills that you’ve picked up?
You learn so much! While I came from a sales background, AMP’s training, structure, and leadership are exceptional. They prepare you to approach new businesses confidently and communicate effectively about programs that help them thrive. Through AMP, I’ve honed my sales communication and learned to elevate businesses, communities, and families.

You recently set AMP records for All-Time Field Individual Performance in Total Digital Monthly Sales and Total OPTIMA™ Sales. How did it feel to achieve that?
The records were a true team effort. While my name is on them, credit belongs to everyone – Kayli, Luke, our dedicated team of Account Managers, the OPTIMA™ team, the verification team, and more. Coming from a solo-oriented sales background, AMP stands out for its teamwork and integrity. Breaking records is great, but my biggest achievement is finding a company with honesty and genuine care for its clients. Waking up proud every day – that’s my real success.

What keeps you motivated to come to work every day?
Hearing from happy business owners is the best part and some even get emotional about the success we’ve helped them achieve. One couple teared up, grateful for the credibility and trust we helped them build. AMP empowers small businesses to dream now, not just after they “make it big”. Seeing their happiness and the measurable success keeps me excited to wake up each day and help the next business.

What is one piece of wisdom or insight you’d like to leave with us—or maybe share with someone just starting out in their career?
One piece of advice: stick with it and stay consistent. Like learning to ride a bike, it takes time. My first three months were tough, with sales at 60% of what I achieved in a single month later. But I didn’t give up. I used AMP’s resources, took notes, and focused on improving. AMP isn’t just a company; it’s a family. Trust the system, listen to your leaders, and support your team. Even a rough patch can lead your best month yet because success here is a shared effort.

How long have you been with AMP, and what drew you to the opportunity initially?
I joined AMP in February 2024 after graduating the previous May. I had a different opportunity lined up but my offer was rescinded due to layoffs, prompting me to seek a more stable career. Sales appealed to me, but many opportunities felt sketchy until I found AMP. The recruiting process was honest, and shadowing showed me the challenge and excitement of sales. Choosing AMP was the right move, and starting my career here has been truly life-changing.

What is the most rewarding part about working at AMP?
The most rewarding part is directly impacting businesses every day. Since February, I’ve built relationships with business owners who now send me Christmas cards and see me as part of their team. I love that I’m not just doing unappreciated work. I’m helping family-run businesses thrive. Making a meaningful difference is incredibly fulfilling.

Given your experiences here with AMP, what are some of the key skills you’ve picked up?
The biggest skill I’ve gained is the confidence to talk to anyone about anything, anytime. Communication is a vital life skill, and it benefits every profession. While many my age hesitate to make simple calls, I now feel at ease having conversations with anyone which has been a game-changer early in my career.

How do you keep yourself motivated and continue to grow in your role?
I’m very money-motivated, which drew me to sales. I love that my income directly reflects my effort. AMP keeps it exciting with competitions, bonuses, extra days off, and new goals, ensuring there’s always something to strive for.

How would you say AMP has supported your career growth and development?
The onboarding and training at AMP is the most thorough I’ve ever had, with well-organized classroom and one-on-one sessions. Even now, I train three times a week, learning from other reps and refining my approach. AMP also provides excellent mentorship, especially with the female-centric Inside Sales team. Having strong female mentors has been invaluable as I begin my career.

Do you have a specific mentor who has helped you a lot since you’ve been here?
Angelica and Heather have been incredible mentors. Angelica is the best manager I’ve had. She’s straightforward, pushes me to excel, and calls me out when needed. Heather is always my go-to for any questions or support. Sales can be tough, but having mentors like them has made all the difference in my personal and professional growth.

With all your experience, how do you personally define success in your career?
I define success as leaving work each day knowing I gave my best and accomplished something. Many people my age don’t feel that sense of achievement, but I’d rather feel satisfied with what I’ve done, whether it’s hitting a milestone, earning a bonus, or making progress with clients.

What are some of the current goals you’re working towards?
My biggest goal is to be Rookie of the Year for Digital Inside Sales, especially after the challenges I faced post-graduation. It would be a testament to how far I’ve come. I also aim to hit my commission and bonus targets and eventually take on a leadership role as a trainer for new hires.

Is there anything you would have done differently in your career so far?
I wish I had been more open-minded about sales earlier. In college, there was a negative stigma around sales, but now I see it’s a fantastic opportunity. The harder you work, the more you can achieve.

What’s one piece of wisdom or insight you’d like to share with someone new to your position?
My advice is to learn to listen. Listening is the most important skill in sales. By hearing what seasoned reps do and truly understand customers’ needs, you can build stronger relationships. Also, always say yes to opportunities because you never know what could change the course of your career.

How long have you been with AMP? What drew you to AMP in the first place?
I’ve been with AMP for about a year and a half. I was drawn to the role because it combined my communication and creative marketing skills while making a real impact on local businesses. AMP isn’t just about selling digital marketing; it’s about transforming businesses and lives.

Given your experiences here at AMP so far, what are some of the key skills that you’ve picked up on that have been essential to your success?
The biggest skill I’ve gained is mental toughness. I thought I had it, but facing rejection every day has shown me how much stronger I can get. It’s about more than staying strong in tough moments, it’s about having the mindset that every day is a fresh start. As a perfectionist, I’ve had to stop comparing myself to others and focus on competing with myself. That mindset fuels my drive. This has also helped me have tougher conversations with family and adopt a more positive perspective. Another key skill is learning to be comfortable with discomfort, which has become invaluable.

Is there a piece of career advice you’ve received or a mentor who helps you when you’re in a slump?
My biggest mentor at AMP has been Luke Wasowski. Since he took over as Vice President of the Central Region, he’s been a major influence on my success, always cheering me on. I remember a tough week when I called him feeling unsure, and he reassured me, saying “You don’t have to prove yourself to anyone. You’ve already proven it.” That advice really eased the pressure I was putting on myself.

Looking at your time at AMP, what would you say has been your biggest achievement so far?
A big achievement for me was being in the top five Rookies of the Year and being named Digital Rep of the Year which is something I never expected to achieve in just six months. I felt immense pride.

Where do you see yourself at AMP in the next five years? What goals are you working toward?
I don’t have a concrete answer, but I see myself staying with AMP for a long time. I enjoy training and developing my reps, and I’d love to keep making an impact. If life takes me elsewhere, like opening a new market, I’d focus on building my current team to be self-sustaining.

What motivates you to come to work every day?
For me, my “why” is the opportunity to genuinely help people. Our service makes a real difference to local businesses, and I love knowing I’m making an impact every day. AMP’s culture is also a big motivator – it’s kind, collaborative, and supportive, which makes it easy to come to work every day.
