Sales Support Coordinator

Leadership Strategies – The Facilitation Company is seeking a Sales Support Coordinator with proven skills to join our growing Sales team.

We are the nation’s leader in providing professional facilitators and facilitation skills training to corporate, government and non-profit organizations.  Our facilitators lead executive retreats, strategy sessions, focus groups, conferences and other group sessions.  Through our flagship training course, The Effective Facilitator, we have trained more people in facilitation skills than any other organization in the US. We also provide training classes in consulting skills, presentation skills, leadership and other areas.

A. General Description

The successful candidate will support the Leadership Strategies sales team in coordinating sales activities and managing client engagements after the sale.  This position will report to the Sales Leader and will work closely with the entire Sales Team to drive revenue growth.

The successful candidate will have a proven history of displaying certain clearly defined core competencies.

  1. Drive for Achievement and Growth. You will have an exceptional level of motivation, energy and drive. We are a small but growing organization and we’re focused on extremely high levels of achievement. We have a high-performance sales culture and we need every member of our team focused on their own personal and professional success as well as the success of the team. We are the right place for team members who enjoy working hard, accomplishing big things, collaborating and gaining insights from others, and developing their skills.
  2. Coachable learner. No one is perfect. We find that people are better when they recognize the areas in which they need to improve. If you can’t identify one or two areas you are working on improving right now, or if you are afraid to admit mistakes you’ve made in the past and what you learned from them, or if you can’t name any changes you have made based on feedback you have received, we are not the right environment for you.
  3. Collaboration. As the leading facilitation company in the nation, we are highly collaborative in our decision-making, believe strongly that great ideas can come from anywhere in the company, and therefore place a premium on giving opportunities for input. If you enjoy making decisions on your own and find it bothersome to hear the input of others, you will not find a comfortable home here.
