Junior Sales Associate (Casual)
Enlighten Learning is a student-founded online one-to-one tutoring company for GCSE’s and A-Levels. We provide affordable online tuition to students across the United Kingdom and international students studying iGCSE’s. Enlighten Learning is a pioneering “part-time” company where all employees are flexible, part-time workers, and are often students. This also applies to our senior leadership, who also work on Enlighten Learning part time.
This role is a part time, commission based role designed to provide extra income to those already in education or part-time work. This role is not a substitute for a full time position and is ideally suited to ambitious students wanting to get experience in sales and startups.
Roles & Responsibilities:
The Junior Sales Associate will be responsible for outbound sales calls to lukewarm leads who have expressed an interest in online tuition services. They will also handle occasional pre-booked inbound leads.
The Junior Sales Associate will manage the end to end sales process, from the initial phone call with our leads to guiding the customer to their first lesson with us.
You will develop skills in sales, customer service and operational management.
All Junior Sales Associates will attend Enlighten Learning’s weekly performance call check-ins, which is a 30 minute call held every Sunday evening to discuss individual and team performances.
The expected total time needed for this role is between 6 hours a week (excluding performance check-ins and training), but is completely discretionary to yourself. You manage your time and it’s up to you how successful you are in this role.
The Ideal Candidate Profile:
The ideal candidate is someone who is hungry to succeed whilst also being consistent and resilient. In this role, you will face a lot of rejection, but it is crucial to not let rejection stop you from continuing to achieve the best practice in every interaction with prospective clients.
In your application, it is crucial to be able to show examples of resilience and perseverance. It is also super important that we sense a drive and hunger from yourselves to achieve and exceed targets at Enlighten Learning.
No sales experience is necessary for this role, we aim to build you up with our comprehensive training program to equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to succeed in this role.
An understanding of the UK education system or having experience being a tutor/being tutored is a bonus but not essential by any means.
As mentioned, these are nice to have. If you don’t feel like you meet any of these bullet points, I would still highly encourage you to apply if you can show me drive, hunger and motivation to succeed not just at Enlighten Learning but in your career in general.
