Application Deadline: February 13th @ 11:59 PM EST

**This opportunity is available for individuals located in Canada and looking for a long-term role!**

Overview:

BeMo has an immediate need for an experienced, top caliber sales professional to join our team as a Sales Specialist. The selected candidate will mainly focus on speaking with our prospective students and converting them to raving fans and paying students. Note this role includes zero cold calls, as all leads are warm leads who want to speak with us. The role also includes providing support to our current students when our support team requires help as needed.

Are You the Needle in a Haystack?

Would you like to contribute to our mission of helping students achieve their academic and career goals?

Would you like to help us promote diversity so that everyone has an equal chance at higher education regardless of racial, cultural, or socioeconomic background?

Would you like to be part of a team that is shaping the future of admissions?

If you answered “yes”, here’s a little bit about us:

You’ve probably never worked with anyone like us before. We’re an innovative team of practicing professionals, researchers, and scholars, with a passion to help students reach their academic and career goals. We often go above and beyond to deliver the best possible services we can to our students. We make sure we are highly knowledgeable about the ever-changing landscape of admissions by studying and researching admissions trends. We take our own medicine and we are constantly training to keep our individual performance and the performance of our company exceptional.

We take our role very seriously and contribute to our company on a consistent basis. When things need to get done, we don’t care what time of the day or day of the week it is, we get the job done. We know how to manage our time and competing demands. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our services and impact and we are not afraid to share our ideas and collaborate with our team members. We put our company and our missions first. This is not a “job” to us. This is a calling. Our passion for mentoring our students and making admissions fair and scientifically sound is what gets us up in the morning. Importantly, we understand that our company is only as great as its individual members. That’s how we have become a leading academic consulting firm and that’s why we are extremely selective about our team and only pick the very best to join us and we do everything we can to support them.

We want to foster an environment where we drive team members to succeed within their role and believe in the mission and values of BeMo.

If you are resistant to coaching because you believe you already know everything, if you are seeking a side job just to make a few bucks or to add another entry to your resume, if you normally don’t pay much attention to detail, or if you are looking for a short-term gig with little impact and growth, then we’re probably not right for you.

If you are extremely detail oriented, obsessed with delivering only the best service, have outstanding written and verbal communications skills, willing to learn more and implement new strategies, love to be a part of the team to change the future of admissions, and looking for a long-term mission with significant impact on society, then you need to apply. Now.
