Role Description

This is a full-time, remote role for an Education Sales Consultant.

You will be responsible for:

• Speaking with prospective clients (only in Mandarin Chinese) to understand their background, goals and needs in relation to PhD and advanced education services.
• Clearly explaining AcademiaOne’s high-end education services, guiding clients through our process, and helping them make informed decisions.
• Leading the full sales cycle: from first contact and consultation, through follow-up and objection handling, to successful closing.
• Maintaining structured, accurate records of all sales activities, client conversations and deal stages in our systems.
• Collaborating closely with research mentors and PhD experts, including experts from Oxford, Cambridge and Ivy League universities, to ensure a smooth handover and that clients receive the level of service promised during the sales process.
• Proactively building trust with clients, addressing concerns with professionalism and empathy, and supporting long-term relationships.
• Working on a flexible schedule, including some evenings and weekends, to match client availability and ensure timely communication in a remote setup.

Qualifications

• 2–3+ years of proven sales experience, with evidence of past performance (e.g. deals closed, targets met, sales results).
• Experience in education sales or consulting is strongly preferred; experience with high-end education or advisory services is a plus.
• Fluent Mandarin (spoken and written) and good spoken English are required.
• Legally able to work in your country of residence.
• Bachelor’s degree or above from a recognised university; overseas study experience is preferred but not required.
• Strong skills in communication, objection handling, relationship-building and trust-building with clients.
• Highly organised, structured and comfortable managing multiple leads, follow-ups and records in a remote environment.
• Able to work independently while collaborating effectively with an expert academic team.
• This role is not suitable for candidates with only marketing/content experience and no real sales track record.
