WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?: RESPONSIBILITIES
As our Venue Sales Coordinator - Remi La Grange, you're the face of Remi until the contract's signed. And these are the results that you'll be hired to accomplish:
" Lightning-Fast Lead Momentum When a lead comes in, you're all over it, bb. You'll turn leads into opportunities with lightning-fast responses and thoughtful follow-ups, making it ridiculously easy for clients to say "BIG YES" to taking the next step in the sales process. Thanks to you, our sales pipeline is thriving and full of qualified opportunities ready to be won.
" Fully-Booked Venue Calendar Keep our calendar absolutely brimming with booked events. You'll guide our clients through the rest of the Remi sales process by giving fun, vibe-y tours, answering questions quickly, and following up fast - turning interest into income over and over and over again. No opportunities left hanging, no dates left empty.
" Organized & Up-to-Date CRM Our CRM is where the magic happens, and you'll keep it immaculate . You'll ensure that every interaction, status, and detail - for every client - is organized, accurate and up-to-date. Thanks to your meticulous record-keeping, everyone knows exactly where things stand in the sales process - no guesswork, no missing info, just a system that keeps the team on track.
" Calm & Capable Event Support You'll be the calm go-to for a handful of events at Remi - confirming final details, acting as the point of contact, and making sure things run smoothly on the day-of.
As a disclaimer : This is a new-ish position, in a rapidly growing company, in an always-changing industry. That means that this position and its responsibilities will continue to evolve. So, if you're change-adverse, this job ain't it.
That being said - if you're good with change, and are willing to try new things - you'll love this job, and it'll love you right back.
PAY
We pay a base wage of $20 - $24, depending on experience, plus a performance-based bonus for each event you personally book - no caps, no mystery math. Total compensation for this position will likely fall between $22 - $26 per hour.
WORK SCHEDULE
This position is part-time (with room to eventually become full-time.), with a flexible schedule designed around the demands of our sales activities. This position will regularly work nights and weekends - starting with Tuesday and Thursday nights, as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings.
WILL YOU FIT IN HERE? Our team has been built - brick by brick - on shared core values. And no, they're not just bullsh t words slapped on a wall - they're who we are - and they're non-negotiables for working here. You'll feel super comfy and right at home if these words describe you:
" You Come With Batteries Included You're a high-energy self-starter who jumps into action, and doesn't need hand-holding to get things done.
" You're Scrappy You're a resourceful problem solver who makes things happen; if there's no door, you get in through a window.
" You Take Your Work Seriously You take pride in your work, big and small, and you have a natural reflex to do things the right way.
" But, You Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously You're a positive team player who's quick to laugh at your own mistakes, open to feedback, and humble about your wins.
And if these words don't describe you? You'll be decidedly uncomfy here. So, fair warning - If you're a cranky a problem-bringer who's cool being super-mid at your job and needs constant hand holding may we suggest working literally anywhere else?
