You’ve used AI tooling for work or personal use—or you are willing to dive in and learn fast. You explore new tools, workflows, and ideas to make things more efficient, and are eager to deepen your understanding of AI and use it regularly.

Things You’ll Do

As a Sales-Assist Representative I, you will have 3 main responsibilities:

Showcase Zapier as a potential solution for teams and businesses through multiple mediums - On a daily basis, most of your time will be on live chat (4+ Hours) with customers through Zendesk. With the rest split between calls and emails. You’ll lead demos virtually to model a wide range of use-cases in which Zapier can help drive ROI for our customers. You’ll educate the user on use-cases to help inspire more ways they can automate within their business. You’ll lead them from interest, to learning more about our product to purchase. Success here is measured by our ability to qualify leads for other teams and convert customers yourself.

Create a Sales Pipeline for multiple motions- through live chat queues and product qualified lead (PQL) emails, you’ll drive an influenced revenue metric with qualified leads to be handed to other teams and members.

Maintain feedback loops back into the rest of the organization - Identifying learnings from your customer demos and passing them along as a feedback loop is critical in this role. This looks like tagging your call recordings with product feedback opportunities, or identifying areas where improved collateral may have accelerated the sales-process. To do so, you’ll need to be excellent at written communication.
