Job description

Regional Business Development & Sales Leader Volunteer

About the Company

SkilledUp Life is a two-sided marketplace, which solves two major global problems:

• Less than 1% of tech startups secure investment. Without capital, it's impossible to build a team to bring your idea to market.
• Without experience and demonstrable skills, it’s hard to land your dream job.

SkilledUp Life has grown to 54,500 SkilledUp Life volunteers from 142 countries. We have helped hundreds of tech startups to find the talent they need. We have helped many Volunteers to land their next gig including career transition.

About the Opportunity

We are recruiting Regional Sales Leaders to build remote sales teams across the world and close sales faster. You need to have sales experience including a deep understanding of:

• B2B Sales Process for low-priced high-volume sales.
• Experienced in social selling especially using LinkedIn.
• Recruiting and managing a regional sales team.

Our Needs

• Fluent in English – both written and spoken.
• Excellent persuasion skills.
• Experienced in the sales lifecycle (must).
• Access to tech startups (preferred).
• Self-learner with the ability to execute tasks without supervision.
• Ability to maintain the highest level of professionalism.

Activities

Working with our CEO and the sales team, your Volunteer role will include but not be limited to:

• Building the sales team with the help of our HR Team.
• Motivating and coaching the Sales Volunteers.
• Qualification of leads on HubSpot.
• Nurturing leads.
• Demonstrating our product and service.
• Converting leads to sales.
• Post-sales support including handing over to the support team.

Acquired Work Experience and Skills

If you have never led a Business Development and Sales team before, this is your opportunity to gain experience and skills. If you had no exposure to the exciting and chaotic tech startup world, this is an ideal opportunity to experience it.

Acquired Skills

Potential skills you might develop as a result of this Opportunity:

• Further understanding of the sales process.
• Learn how to build a sales team and keep them motivated.
• Learn to thrive in a small yet dynamic team (punching well above its weight).
• Learn the importance of paying attention to detail, consistency, and rapid delivery.

Once a satisfactory outcome is delivered, we will:

• Provide a testimonial against your profile on SkilledUp Life.
• Allow you to add the SkilledUp Life Company Name to your LinkedIn profile.
• Provide a Letter of Recommendation.
