Inside Sales Representative Job in Cambridge 02140, Massachusetts US
We need you NOW!!! BiddingForGood supplies all the leads!
Do you want to make a difference in the world? Do you want to earn a significant paycheck? Do you want to be part of one of the fastest growing tech companies in the Boston area? Do you want to sell a service that gives charities and schools $6 back for every $1 they spend?
BiddingForGood, a rapidly growing online fundraising auction service to the charitable fundraising industry seeks an intelligent, motivated and driven individual to join our sales team as an Inside Sales Representative.
This is for the ambitious, motivated, and experienced sales professional who is seeking an opportunity with a rapidly growing, venture capital-backed startup (Tier I investors and senior mgmt team with over $200 million in prior wins). This role is appropriate for an overachiever who wants to use your inside sales experience to close “good business” which will translate into earning significant compensation. Our ideal candidate will possess a strong sense of urgency and demonstrate effective time management skills.
This key, high visibility member of our sales team, will report to the VP of Sales and will be responsible for selling our proprietary fundraising service nationwide in an inside sales capacity. The successful candidate will receive inbound leads and inquiries, will work to qualify these leads and sales opportunities, make outbound calls to targeted customers in our house list, provide sales forecasts, lead status, and ‘signs’ on a weekly basis, keep thorough records of customer interactions within our CRM tool, and, most importantly, close business.
The culture here is incredibly upbeat and progressive, but it is also demanding. We have a big opportunity and we intend to take it. But we also know how to laugh and enjoy the ride. This is truly a fun place to work for dedicated and motivated individuals.
Proof of achievement in this position will be based on exceeding sales targets, booking “good” and profitable business, and providing a high-satisfaction experience to prospects and customers. The successful candidate will need to be an extremely good communicator, creative, and sharply focused on execution. The successful candidate must also be able to devote the time and effort required to accomplish the goals of the position and welcome coaching and training. This is a rewarding, fast-paced, environment.
