    • Coordinate calendars between prospects and sales representatives
    • Send reminders, confirmations, and post-call follow-ups
    • Ensure smooth handoff between lead stages

    • Follow pre-defined scripts, sequences, or templates

    • Assist in preparing materials for sales calls or presentations
    • Maintain structured records of sales activity and communication
    • Support general sales operations as needed

  • SaaS or software sales teams
  • Service-based business owners

  • Real estate or high-ticket sales environments

Candidates who demonstrate strong performance may be considered for more advanced roles in sales operations or revenue support. Once matched, you will be onboarded into a specific client environment with a clearly defined sales process, tools, and expectations. Depending on client requirements and role allocation, some placements may operate on reduced or adjusted weekly hours. Final workload and schedule will be confirmed during client matching and onboarding.

Qualifications

  • Experience in sales support, lead management, or CRM-based roles
  • Strong organizational and data management skills
