Sales Assistant

Job description

Company Background

OfCourse is a rapidly growing online learning platform. We aim to become the prime digital location in the UK for people who want to learn or teach personal development skills online.

We have seen huge demand for people looking for self improvement (e.g. confidence), to learn about a new skill (e.g. digital marketing) or how to get better at their current job (Excel or presentation skills) to people searching for their vocation (dog grooming to forensic psychology!)

Our learners have the opportunity to learn about these new skills through online courses created by subject matter experts. They gain access to an exclusive community of learners, and the opportunity to certify their new skills.

Our experts have the opportunity to monetise their expertise through charging learners for their courses, based on their level of experience and the length and quality of their course.

The Role

As a Sales assistant you will provide support on a portfolio of subject matter experts to expand our course offering in our target areas.

You will need to be able to sell the OfCourse proposition to prospective instructors, succinctly detailing the benefits of working with us whilst handling any objections they may raise.

This is a sales focused role so the ideal candidate will be highly motivated by delivering against targets, as well as being able to work within a team to deliver a common objective.

In addition to making the sale you will need to be able to present the content to the production team in a user friendly way in order to minimise the time between making the sale and getting the content live.

Desired profile

Requirements
• High level of written and verbal English
• A startup approach, willing to get involved in any task or aspect of the business
