About the Role
This is a high-execution, high-volume sales role designed to be the "intellectual and operational engine" behind a rapidly expanding youth development and membership-based sports franchise. We are currently in a high-growth pre-launch phase for a new territory in the US Midwest. While our digital marketing campaigns are generating a massive influx of inbound leads from interested families, we need a disciplined Sales Professional to "run the play" and convert that interest into a thriving community.
You will act as the primary point of contact for the market, owning the entire sales funnel from lead intake to final enrollment. This is not a cold-calling or high-level strategy role; the playbook is established, and the demand is proven. We need a technical closer who can execute a rigorous follow-up cadence with precision, maintaining a professional and enthusiastic brand voice while securing commitments for our premier training programs.
Key Responsibilities
* Inbound Lead Conversion:Contact new leads generated from Meta ads immediately to introduce the Kids United training model.
* Pre-Sale Meetings:Schedule and host 4–5 Pre-Sale Meetings per day (15–30 mins each) via video call to present the program, schedule, and pricing.
* High-Volume Activity:Maintain a disciplined daily cadence of 50–100 touchpoints (calls, SMS follow-ups, and emails) to ensure no lead falls through the cracks.
* Closing & Enrollment:Guide parents through the starter package purchase (Uniform, backpack, and discounted membership) and secure class time commitments.
* Multi-Location Support:As the franchise expands, you will eventually manage the sales pipeline for three separate club territories simultaneously.
* Process Discipline:Use RingCentral and structured tracking systems to manage follow-up loops and report daily activity metrics.
Qualifications & Skills
Hard Skills:
* Sales Experience:Minimum 3+ years of inside sales experience, preferably in a high-volume inbound environment.
* Language:Native English Fluency (Required). Clear, confident, and professional phone presence is mandatory to build trust with local U.S. parents.
* Closing Ability:Proven track record of running discovery calls and securing financial commitments on the first or second interaction.
* Tool Stack:Proficiency with RingCentral (or similar VoIP), G-Suite, and CRM/Lead tracking systems.
Soft Skills:
* Disciplined Self-Starter:Ability to manage a heavy lead list and hit daily activity targets without constant hand-holding.
* High Reliability:A "never-miss-a-follow-up" mentality; understanding that speed to lead is critical for conversion.
* Relatability:Ability to build instant rapport with families and speak passionately about child development and youth sports.
* Process-Driven:Comfortable working within a highly structured environment defined by clear KPIs and specific messaging templates.
Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
At R37,000/month, this role is competitive with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($2,000/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
