questions...
 
1.  Given that this is primarily a phone and internet sales opportunity, is daily face-time in office/retail location needed?  I am based just north of Philadelphia, have headphone experience and spent 7 years in Audio/Video/Home Theater sales and sales management.  I worked for Bryn Mawr Stereo and Hi-Fi House in the Philadelphia market in both a sales and sales managemnt capacity. In addition, I spent 11 years in a phone based sales environment in a sales and sales management capacity in non-audio related fields.  My salesmanship over the phone is impeccable. References available.
 
Hackensack would be a killer commute, but wouldn't be unpalletable if a telecommute option were available for 3+ days a week. 
 
2.  What is your preferred method of contact to open a dialogue?

I think you should email them. They listed an address in the job ad.

Uh, I can't speak on behalf of the company, and I'm not saying this is theoretically impossible (given the requirements listed)...but doing this kind of sales/community rep job isn't the same as collecting headphones as a hobby.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's a full-time position. If you're serious about wanting to work there, what about school?
