ROMA – During the most severe lockdown, they made themselves known in a widespread manner. With all the Italians in front of the TV waiting for the CTS press conference with the update of the daily bulletin, their commercials pierced the screen with a song that was perfectly suited to the moment of “all locked in the house”. It said “Italiaonline and you make money online”. A message to those who have suffered most from closures, artisans, traders and SMEs. In reality they have been there for years, but with the pandemic, which has closed many businesses temporarily, the digitization of mostly small businesses, from shops to artisans, seemed the only hope of survival. And for many it has been.
Now the Recovery Plan has also arrived that points the way: to digitize. Convince and help SMEs to enter the big business that is played on the Internet, what Italiaonline does. And since it went well during the pandemic, they decided to grow up. The company is looking for 350 sellers or Accounts (or web consultants), capable of accompanying SMEs, step by step and even in presence, on the web, a boundless prairie for those who want to sell, in Italy or abroad. Eighty have already found them. But they are not enough. “It was difficult to hire during the lockdown – he explains Fabio Peloso head of the sales network – but it had to be done. We are among those companies that did not suffer from the closures, rather it was the SMEs who were looking for us to solve immediate problems and we did it “. Established in 1994 as an internet browsing support site, which later became an access portal to Infostrada contents and then Wind, today it is the main Italian web company (excluding the over the top like Google). Already today it has 12% of the SME market and has a turnover of 300 million a year.
But what figures are they looking for? Accounts, that is consultants, able to accompany SMEs on the web market. “The consultant – explains Peloso – is the most advanced sales formula – capable of bringing companies to the Internet world. Which ranges from making products appear in a virtual shop window to advertising on the web, to communicating on many digital channels. Specialists who work closely with technicians, those capable of translating ideas into practice. Put together the consultants are a bit like the forwards of a football team. Whether they are women or men does not matter, in fact already today several area managers of our 40 agencies are female ”. Graduates are sought, but not exclusively. “Let’s say that graduates – adds Peloso – are used to studying and in this job, studying and updating is essential. The world of the digital market is a bit like medicine: once if you were sick you were looking for a doctor, today depending on the illness you have, you look for a specialist. However, graduates or in their forties or fifties who come from the sector are also welcome. For the young people, on the other hand, we do an initial training, supported by a coach ”.
All degrees are fine, even if economics and communication have an edge in the sector. The important thing is skills and logic, understood as the ability to enter and exit a topic “. The strength of Italionline is particular. They accompany the customer, even physically and follow him over time. This is why the 40 territorial offices. “A unique formula in Italy”, according to Peloso.

As far as earnings are concerned, the characteristic of the remuneration of the Accounts is precisely that of being parameterized to the sales performance. It is based on an activity that they carry out independently. Beyond the reimbursement of expenses-contribution of the first 6 months, it is a percentage that reaches up to 50% of the value of the goods sold.
