Summary:

The Sales Support Specialist handles focused sales support tasks within the sales team, working under a sales operations team lead. This role works with sales representatives, account executives, prospects, and product specialists to keep requests moving from initial inquiry through sales handoff.

Job Responsibilities:

• Check prospect contact details, opportunity stage, product selections, and requested quantities against information provided by sales representatives, asking for clarification when details conflict.
• Maintain opportunity information in a CRM such as Salesforce, recording request status, sales activity, next steps, and the person responsible for each follow-up.
• Prepare standard sales quotations using approved pricing and templates, checking calculations and product availability with the appropriate internal contact before sharing drafts.
• Assemble existing product information and approved sales materials for representatives, matching the material to the prospect's stated requirements without making unsupported product promises.
• Respond to routine prospect questions about quote status and available product information, routing detailed product questions to product specialists and commercial decisions to account executives.
• Track open quotation requests and missing inputs, follow up with assigned owners, and notify sales representatives when delays could affect an expected customer response.
• Escalate pricing exceptions, conflicting instructions, or requests outside established procedures to the sales operations team lead, summarizing the issue and actions already taken.
• Update opportunity outcomes after representatives confirm customer decisions, organize handoff information for the next team, and close completed support tasks with clear notes.
• Review sales support activity for recurring delays and report findings to the team lead; quality is judged through accuracy, turnaround, complete notes, and timely follow-up.

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• About 1-2 years of sales support, sales administration, or related office experience preferred, particularly experience helping representatives manage quotations and opportunity updates.

• Ability to check quantities, pricing calculations, and product details carefully, recognize inconsistent information, and request clarification before releasing a quotation.
• Clear written and verbal communication for answering routine questions, explaining request status, and providing concise handoff notes to internal colleagues.
• Ability to prioritize concurrent requests, protect confidential commercial information, and follow established approval steps without promising unapproved pricing or delivery dates.
• A reliable computer, high-speed internet, and a quiet private workspace, with availability for the 40-hour weekly commitment and agreed working days and shift times.
