Sales Assistant – Account Management Track

Talent Edge Recruiting | 100% Remote | Full-Time | Fast-Track Career Growth

Ambitious, Competitive & Ready to Launch Your Sales Career?

Are you a natural communicator who loves connecting with people, thrives on hitting goals, and isn't afraid to pick up the phone?

Maybe you're a recent college graduate looking for your first big career opportunity. Or maybe you're early in your professional journey and know you have the drive, personality, and ambition to be successful in sales.

What if your next job was the launchpad to becoming a successful Account Manager?

Talent Edge Recruiting is growing, and we're looking for a high-energy, motivated, and relationship-driven Sales Assistant to join our team. This is an incredible opportunity for someone who wants to break into professional sales, gain firsthand experience engaging with business decision-makers, and develop the skills needed to grow into an Account Manager position.

No extensive sales experience required. We're looking for the right personality, work ethic, communication skills, and hunger to succeed.

Who We Are

Talent Edge Recruiting is a growing staffing and recruiting firm backed by an established outsourced accounting organization. We partner with organizations across multiple industries, specializing in Accounting & Finance, Human Resources, Administration, Marketing, Construction, Manufacturing, Technical, and Skilled Trades.

We're a women-managed, relationship-driven organization built on collaboration, integrity, accountability, and delivering exceptional results for our clients.

Our team is ambitious, highly collaborative, and focused on continued growth.

The Opportunity

As our Sales Assistant, you'll play an essential role in driving new business opportunities and supporting our sales and account management team.

Your primary focus will be high-volume outbound outreach to warm leads, engaging business decision-makers, qualifying interest, and scheduling meetings for our sales team.

This is a phone-heavy, metrics-driven position, with an expectation of 75+ outbound calls per working day.

You'll gain direct exposure to business owners, hiring managers, executives, and other decision-makers while learning how to establish rapport, uncover hiring needs, and create meaningful business relationships.

You'll work closely with experienced sales and recruiting professionals, developing the communication, business development, and relationship management skills needed to eventually manage your own client relationships.

The goal? Develop into a full-cycle Account Manager as your skills, performance, and business knowledge grow.

We're looking for someone who wants to learn the business from the ground up, embrace coaching, consistently exceed expectations, and build a long-term career with us.

What You'll Do

Outbound Sales & Lead Engagement

• Make 75+ outbound calls daily to warm leads, prospective clients, and business decision-makers.
• Initiate professional, engaging conversations with business owners, executives, hiring managers, and HR leaders.
• Build rapport quickly, communicate the value of Talent Edge Recruiting, and identify potential hiring needs.
• Qualify leads, gauge interest, and schedule introductory meetings for the sales and Account Management team.
• Execute consistent follow-up through phone calls, text messages, and personalized outreach.
• Navigate objections professionally and confidently while maintaining a positive, relationship-focused approach.
• Maintain momentum across multiple conversations, follow-ups, and scheduling requests.

Sales Support & Pipeline Management

• Maintain accurate CRM records, including prospect information, call activity, conversation notes, and next steps.
• Track outreach activity, meetings scheduled, and other key sales performance metrics.
• Create polished, personalized follow-up messages to keep conversations moving forward.
• Coordinate meeting schedules and ensure seamless communication between prospects and Account Managers.
• Support sales initiatives, lead generation campaigns, and business development efforts.
• Partner with the sales team to identify opportunities for improved outreach and engagement.

Professional Development & Growth

• Learn the fundamentals of business development, consultative selling, and client relationship management.
• Gain exposure to the staffing and recruiting industry, including client needs, hiring challenges, and service offerings.
• Shadow experienced Account Managers and participate in sales coaching and development.
• Develop confidence communicating with senior-level business professionals and decision-makers.
• Strengthen objection handling, prospect qualification, and relationship-building skills.
• Take on additional client engagement and account management responsibilities as you develop.

What We're Looking For

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's degree preferred; recent college graduates are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
• Polished, articulate, and confident on the phone, with the ability to engage professionally with business decision-makers.
• Comfortable spending a significant portion of the day making outbound calls.
• Competitive, goal-oriented mindset with a strong desire to achieve and exceed performance metrics.
• Excellent relationship-building and interpersonal skills.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through.
• Ability to manage rejection, remain persistent, and maintain a positive attitude.
• Highly coachable, receptive to feedback, and eager to improve.
• Comfortable using CRM platforms, Microsoft Office, and sales productivity tools.
• Strong work ethic, initiative, and the ability to remain productive in a remote environment.

Previous sales, customer service, hospitality, or other customer-facing experience is a plus, but not required.

Who You Are

We're looking for someone with the personality, drive, and ambition to become an exceptional sales professional.

• A Natural Communicator: You're articulate, personable, and confident. You know how to hold a conversation, ask thoughtful questions, and make a strong first impression.
• Driven & Competitive: You're motivated by goals, enjoy measuring your progress, and love the satisfaction of exceeding expectations.
• Relationship-Centric: You understand that great salespeople don't just make calls—they build trust, establish connections, and create long-term relationships.
• Resilient & Persistent: You don't let rejection discourage you. You stay positive, adapt your approach, and keep moving forward.
• Coachable & Hungry to Learn: You welcome feedback, ask questions, and genuinely want to become better every day.
• Proactive & Self-Motivated: You don't need someone constantly checking in to keep you productive. You take ownership of your work and results.
• Polished & Professional: You communicate with confidence, represent the company exceptionally well, and understand the importance of professionalism.
• Organized & Accountable: You follow through, maintain accurate records, and understand that consistency drives results.
• Ambitious & Growth-Minded: You're not looking for just another job. You want a career, advancement opportunities, and the ability to grow into a larger role.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Fast-track career development opportunity with a clear path toward becoming an Account Manager.
• 100% remote, full-time position.
• Direct exposure to business owners, executives, hiring managers, and decision-makers.
• Hands-on training in outbound sales, business development, and relationship management.
• Mentorship from experienced sales and recruiting professionals.
• Opportunity to develop valuable professional communication and consultative selling skills.
• Performance-driven environment where initiative, consistency, and results are recognized.
• Growing organization with opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and advance internally.
• Collaborative, supportive team culture that values both individual achievement and collective success.
