Inside Sales Support Associate

A day in the life of an **Inside Sales Support Associate** is all about balance Opportunities abound for you to showcase your resourcefulness and foresight, all while providing the proactive administrative support needed for your team to meet its goals.

Fresh off a call with a customer based on the East Coast, a Key Account Manager has a lead on a full truck of lavender shrubs that will ship later this week. With the details he collects from the call, you set to work preparing a quote with the requested products, ready for him to review and send to the customer for a quick turnaround.

During today’s Sales Team huddle, you jump at the chance to compile a full sales history ahead of a customer visit, freeing up valuable time for the Account Managers to focus on exceeding the needs of this key partner. The office is buzzing with activity but your organizational skills and diligent prioritization keep you and the team on track

It’s a busy shipping week so you collaborate with the Operations Team to fine-tune the details for the next shipments and ensure the Logistics Coordinator has everything she needs for booking trucks.

You finish your workday by meeting with the Sales Manager to discuss sample orders that need to be prepared — the latest addition to your to-do list for tomorrow
