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.

• 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.
