  • Articulate complex AI-driven solutions clearly, professionally, and persuasively to university decision-makers.
  • Take full ownership of key performance indicators (KPIs), focusing on booked meetings and converted sales opportunities.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
  • Outreach & Prospecting: Execute cold calls to high-profile B2B contacts (Directors, VPs of Admissions, and Deans) at targeted universities to book high-value sales appointments.
  • Pipeline Management: Follow up persistently via phone and email to maximize conversions, build a strong B2B pipeline, and hit weekly performance benchmarks.
  • CRM Operations: Utilize industry-standard B2B sales software for phone/email sequences and maintain accurate, up-to-date records in HubSpot.
  • GTM Strategy: Strategize and refine our Go-To-Market (GTM) approach directly with business reps and the CEO during bi-weekly strategic meetings.
  • Value Pitching: Articulate complex AI-driven B2B solutions clearly, professionally, and persuasively to academic decision-makers.
WHO YOU ARE
  • Experience: 1 to 3+ years of proven B2B sales, business development, or outbound appointment setting experience (EdTech or selling B2B solutions directly to universities is a huge plus).
  • Communication: Exceptional, native-level English accent with top-notch verbal and written delivery suited for executive-level B2B conversations.
  • Cold Calling Skills: Strong B2B lead generation capabilities with a resilient mindset—able to handle rejection gracefully and take "no" for an answer while staying motivated.
  • Mindset: Self-motivated, goal-oriented, and driven with a high degree of personal accountability and a desire to learn.
  • Adaptability: Comfortable working remotely with a flexible schedule, managing priorities, and navigating complex organizational hierarchies.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
  • Experience: Minimum 3+ years of proven track record in B2B sales, business development, or outbound appointment setting.

  • Mindset: Highly driven, proactive, and energetic, with a strong sense of personal accountability and ownership.
  • Sales Acumen: Comfortably handle objections, build immediate rapport with senior leaders, and navigate complex organizational decision hierarchies in B2B transactions.
  • $1300-$1700 with performance-based bonuses and commission incentives.
  • Internet and utility allowances to support a high-performing remote setup.
  • Annual performance reviews and salary increments.
