What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:

• Are a confident salesperson who knows how to lead a conversation and close
• Use a consultative approach rather than relying on a rigid script
• Know how to ask strong discovery questions
• Can uncover genuine business pain points
• Understand how to connect client needs with relevant marketing solutions
• Are comfortable handling objections and negotiations
• Communicate confidently with U.S.-based business owners
• Are persistent and disciplined with follow-up
• Take full ownership of your pipeline
• Are highly organized and comfortable working independently
• Are motivated by measurable sales results

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You’ll start by reviewing new inbound leads and pipeline priorities in GoHighLevel, responding to new prospects, and preparing for scheduled discovery calls.

Throughout the day, you’ll qualify prospects, uncover their business and marketing challenges, recommend relevant solutions, and guide qualified opportunities through the sales process.

You’ll also follow up with active and stalled prospects, handle objections, negotiate when appropriate, and keep GHL updated with accurate activity, pipeline stages, and next steps.

In short: you turn inbound interest into qualified opportunities and guide prospects through a consultative sales process from discovery to close.

Key Metrics for Success

• Inbound lead response time
• Discovery calls completed
• Qualified opportunities generated
• Lead-to-opportunity conversion rate
• Opportunity-to-close conversion rate
• Closed deals and overall sales performance
• Follow-up consistency
• Pipeline progression and deal velocity
• Accurate and current GHL records
• Re-engagement of stalled opportunities
• Consistent achievement of sales targets

Why This Role Stands Out

• Focus on inbound opportunities
• Full ownership of the sales process from discovery through close
• Consultative rather than heavily scripted selling
• Opportunity to sell digital marketing solutions to U.S.-based businesses
• Hands-on use of GoHighLevel
• Exposure to SEO, paid advertising, and web development services
• Fully remote working environment
• Opportunity to grow into senior sales and leadership roles
