It works because the direct personal appeal, one human being to another, is so powerful.

What opportunities are there for career advancement?
There are great opportunities for excellent dialoguers to progress within our organization. If hard working, dependable and successful, a dialoguer can move forward into positions such as Team Leader, Coach, Campaign Manager or Regional Manager. All our senior operational staff members are former dialoguers, having progressed through the ranks in this way. Occasionally there are also varied job opportunities at our Headquarter Office in NYC or in other companies across The Dialog Group internationally.
