Inside Salesperson (Bilingual Preferred)

Inside Salesperson

Do you believe that a sincere desire to help is at the heart of great selling? Do you want to help more students and parents benefit from a service that truly makes a difference? Are you looking for resources, support, and training to do the very best selling of your career?

Collegewise is looking for an inside salesperson to become the next great addition to our sales team. This is a remote position and we are open to candidates in any location within the United States or Canada, with a strong preference for bilingual candidates.

Collegewise believes that the college admissions process has spun out of control for high school students and their parents. Too much anxiety and confusion. Too much obsession with prestigious colleges. Too little appreciation for the wonderful educations and experiences waiting at so many schools beyond just the famous ones. And we're out to change all of that. Together, we've built the nation's largest college counseling organization with over 50 highly trained counselors injecting guidance, perspective, and occasional cheerleading into the admissions process for the families who join our programs. Since 1999, we've helped over 24,000 A-students, C-students, and everyone in between find, apply to, and attend the right colleges for them.

Your mission will be to drive revenue that allows Collegewise to continue to grow, scale, and change lives. In this role, you will be both an executer of our sales process and a helpful guide to those families who enter into it. As an executer of our sales process, you'll join a team that handles all the activity from the moment a prospect reaches out to us until they decide to enroll with us. You'll follow up with contacts. You'll engage meaningfully and efficiently by telephone, website chat, and email with parents of college-bound students. You'll pair them with appropriate programs and follow up to make sure that hand-off has gone smoothly. And you'll need to do all of this while efficiently managing a high volume of incoming leads.

Here are the five most important day-to-day responsibilities for an inside salesperson at Collegewise :

• Communicate via phone and email with families interested in learning more about our services.
• Learn about a student's needs by asking the right questions and taking time to listen.
• Educate families about the Collegewise program options.
• Follow up with families who've asked for time to consider their options.
• Track and update a family's sales status in our CRM system.

Given the mission of our work, we require that candidates have earned a bachelor's degree. But beyond your education and the experience on your resume, here is the type of person and talent we've learned thrives in this role :

This position starts at a 45-50k base plus commission with uncapped earnings (average annual OTE is 120K+). Targets are set monthly and commissions paid out monthly. We also offer a full suite of benefits that includes vacation time, summer work hours, paid parental leave, and a robust insurance plan. We've worked hard to build a company that allows each of us to bring our best self to work without sacrificing our best life at home. We'd like our new inside salesperson to start as soon as possible, but we can adjust the start date to accommodate the right person. We're comfortable with the person in this role working remotely, but the ideal candidate will be based in and serve families in the Pacific time zone.

If you're excited about this opportunity but unsure if you're the right fit, we hope you'll take a shot. There is no such thing as a perfect applicant (or a perfect job, for that matter). And we promise to give a fair and thorough read to every applicant who takes the time to submit a thoughtful application to us. We also understand that the more we embrace diversity of age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective, the stronger the company we'll be able to build together. Creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work is the right thing to do. And we hope you're excited to embrace and contribute to our efforts.

If your interest is piqued, please start by writing us a cover letter that tells your story. What role has admissions or counseling played in your professional life? What brought you to this place seeking this role? What excites you about this opportunity? We really enjoy working with people who are clear thinkers and equally clear communicators. And you're more interesting than a generic "insert-name-of-company-here" letter. So please be yourself and use your letter to help us get to know the real you.

Feel free to email us at jobs@collegewise.com (please no phone calls). We promise to respond to you quickly.
