Summary

Texas Sports Academy is a K-12 school designed for serious student-athletes who want both elite academics and high-level athletic development. Students cover 2x the material in just 2 hours a day, using the same 2-Hour Learning model as Alpha Schools. That frees up their entire afternoon for serious training, where they work alongside former pro and D1 athletes coaching them at the highest standard. We are hiring a Junior Sales Associate to lead outreach to prospective families and athletic facility partners. This is a primarily outbound role. You will make the calls, send the emails, and run the initial conversations that turn interest into scheduled meetings and enrollments. You will also handle inbound inquiries when needed, making sure every family or partner who reaches out gets a fast, professional response. What You'll Do - Outbound Parent Outreach: Call and email prospective families to introduce the program, answer initial questions, and book them into a call or campus visit. - Facility Partner Outreach: Reach out to gyms, clubs, training centers, and other athletic facilities to build partnership pipelines that bring qualified families to Texas Sports Academy. - Handle Inbound Inquiries: Respond quickly to parents and partners who reach out through the website, referrals, or events, and move them into the right next step. - Run Discovery Conversations: Ask the right questions to understand each family's goals for their student-athlete and each facility's fit as a partner, and match them to the appropriate next step. - Own Your Pipeline in the CRM: Log every call, email, and note in the CRM, keep contact records clean, and manage your daily activity against clear targets. - Report on Results: Share weekly updates on activity, pipeline, and outcomes so leadership can see what is working and where you need support. - Some Sales or Outreach Experience: 0 to 2 years of experience in a sales, outreach, admissions, or high-volume customer-facing role. You can walk us through the outreach you have run and the results you produced. - Confident Phone Presence: You are comfortable picking up the phone all day, running professional conversations with parents and facility operators, and staying composed through rejection. - Clear Written Communication: Your outbound emails and follow-ups read as warm, professional, and on-brand. You can adapt tone for a parent versus a facility partner. - Organized and Consistent: You can hit daily activity targets, keep the CRM clean, and manage a growing list of open conversations without letting anything drop. Coachable and Competitive: You take feedback well, iterate quickly on your approach, and are motivated by clear goals and visible results. - AI Forward: Comfort using AI tools to research prospects, draft outreach, and speed up repetitive work. Familiarity with tools such as Perplexity Computer is a plus. - Reliable Home Setup: Quiet workspace, strong internet, and a working headset and webcam. Available during standard U.S. business hours (Central Time preferred). - Location: Remote (U.S. only) Bonus Points - Education, Athletics, or Youth Sports Background: Personal or professional experience in K-12 education, competitive athletics, or youth sports programs. - CRM Experience: Hands-on experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, or a comparable CRM. - Bilingual (English/Spanish): Ability to run outreach and conversations with Spanish-speaking families. Sales Training or Coursework: Completed sales training, bootcamp, or coursework in sales, communication, or business development.
