Job description

As a Sales Associate, you are the first point of contact for ambitious students and parents. Your job is not to close the sale; it's to diagnose their profile fast, build enough trust and clarity that they see real value in a deeper conversation, and hand them off to the counseling team as a well-qualified, booked appointment. This is a strong first role for building a career in high-performance B2C sales, with structured training from day one, no prior experience necessary.

Key Responsibilities

• Speed-to-Lead: Respond to inbound inquiries, including calls, WhatsApp, web forms, and ad leads, within minutes, as response speed is one of the biggest levers on conversion in B2C.
• Lead Qualification: Run structured discovery calls to assess a student's profile, intent, timeline, and budget fit against Ambitio's offerings.
• Appointment Setting: Convert qualified conversations into booked counseling sessions with the closing team and drive strong show-up rates.
• Lead Scoring & Routing: Tag and prioritize leads by readiness (hot/warm/cold) and route each to the right counselor or nurture track.
• Nurture & Re-engagement: Follow up with undecided or "not-now" leads through a structured cadence of calls, WhatsApp, and email until they're sales-ready.
• Feedback to Marketing: Flag lead-quality patterns and common objections to Marketing to sharpen targeting and messaging.
• CRM & Funnel Reporting: Keep lead data clean and current, and track personal funnel numbers, including contact rate, qualification rate, and MQL-to-SQL conversion.

Why Ambitio?

• Structured Onboarding: A hands-on training program to get you sales-ready from week one.
• Fast-Track Growth: Join a high-growth startup where your impact is immediate, and growth is performance-based, not tenure-based.
• Intellectual Environment: Work in a culture that values logic, data, and "student-first" ethics over aggressive sales tactics.
• Competitive Rewards: Good base salary with incentives tied to lead quality and conversion.
