  • Answer basic questions from prospects and customers
  • Transfer more complex questions or situations to the appropriate frontline team
  • Track and gather evidence from calls and chats for high-priority customer issues or needs
  • Cultivate a broad and varied understanding and knowledge of Articulate 360 and Rise to provide efficient and competent assistance to customers in a live environment 
  • Available during requested business hours, Monday – Friday, to respond to incoming sales inquiries (unless prior approval from management)
  • Other sales support duties as assigned

What you should have:

  • Minimum two years of experience in a business development or sales support role
  • Excellent attention to detail and follow-through, with the ability to handle and prioritize high-volume activities without letting anything fall through the cracks
  • Adept at finding answers on the spot and handling uncertainty from customers and prospects
  • Solid computer skills, including in-depth experience with Salesforce.com; able to create, manage, and update lead, contact, and opportunity information with ease
  • Positive, energetic phone presence
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
  • A can-do, positive attitude
  • Independence at managing the day-to-day volume, case assignment, and other duties as assigned or time allows 
  • Thoughtful, trustworthy doer
  • BA or BS degree or equivalent experience

Nice to haves:

  • Solid computer skills, including experience with core sales tools such as Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Outreach, and LinkedIn
  • Familiarity with the e-learning space and the product offerings for authoring tools and learning management systems
  • Fundamental understanding of lead and sales development best practices
  • Experience working in a remote environment
