Sales Representative

Job description:

POSITION SUMMARY

You will be the first point of contact for anxious, concerned, and highly invested parents who are seeking guidance during one of the most critical decisions of their child’s life, their future.

As a  Sales Representative at Kate Stone Prep , you’ll play a key role in driving business growth by connecting with prospective clients, nurturing warm leads, and generating new opportunities. Your ability to build immediate trust, communicate with warmth and professionalism, and clearly articulate our value will be essential to your success.

In this role, you’ll manage both inbound and outbound sales calls, follow up with leads, and proactively prospect to expand our client base. You’ll also collaborate closely with our marketing team to improve conversion rates and close high-quality clients.

You must be confident and polished in a variety of settings, whether that’s speaking on camera, presenting in front of a packed room of parents, or building rapport through one-on-one conversations. We’re looking for a  refined communicator , someone who puts families at ease, asks thoughtful questions, and makes parents feel both heard and supported.

This role is perfect for someone who loves building trust through conversation, is motivated by performance and income potential, and wants to grow with a company that’s redefining what it means to prepare young people, not just for college, but for life.

We offer ongoing training, mentorship, and a significant opportunity for growth as we scale rapidly.

Join us in transforming the college admissions journey, and solving the education crisis,  one family at a time.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

At Kate Stone Prep, we build wildly successful lives for our students through education, mentorship, and powerful connections. The core problem we solve for families is helping their children gain admission to top-choice colleges and careers. Our approach is different. We don’t check boxes, we break the outdated college coaching models. While most candidates start to look the same on paper, our students complete inventive, one-of-a-kind projects that stretch their potential, tell a compelling story, and position them as unmistakably competitive.

Working with us means joining a team that is deeply devoted to the mission. We’re building something exceptional, a new standard of educational mentorship that high-achieving families instantly recognize as different. This role isn’t about rattling off features; it’s about earning trust by asking the right questions, speaking with clarity and calm confidence, and helping families see what’s possible for their child. Our clients are discerning. They’re looking for someone who understands their values, respects their time, and can guide them toward the right decision without pressure. Our most successful sales reps are poised, well dressed, emotionally intelligent, and take pride in delivering a concierge-level experience. They show up to weekend workshops not just because that’s when families are available, but because they know that’s when the most meaningful conversations, and biggest opportunities, happen. If you’re driven to grow your income, your influence, and your role in a fast-scaling company, we’d love to meet you.
