Ecom Degree University
12.2023 - 07.2024

B2C Info Product/High Ticket Coaching. Ecom Degree University (EDU) is a leading company in the eCommerce education sector. It teaches regular people how to make money from home by reselling big-name brand products on Amazon, without having to work for anyone or sell all their time for money. The interesting part is that they teach all of this via easy-to-understand programs that can cater to every income bracket, as they have programs from as low as $99 a month to a one-on-one membership of $7,000. So, every person has the opportunity to learn and make money with the business model. EDU, as of today, boasts over 20,000 students and has produced over a hundred millionaires from its academy.


Responsibilities:

  • Responding to leads' messages on the autoresponder (Aloware) and social media DMs.
  • Run through discovery and qualify if a lead is fit for any of the available programs.
  • Book every qualified lead to the calendar, and update the closer on the details of the leads to better help them prepare for the call.
  • Follow up on every lead that should be followed up on every day, i.e., leads that booked a call, leads that no-showed on a call, leads that are qualified but have yet to book, leads that got on the call but didn't close, and unresponsive leads.
  • Revive old leads in the pipeline that haven't taken any action, to see if they are in a better position to make a purchase.
  • Maintaining the pipeline and ensuring no stone is left unturned.



Key Achievements:

  • I influenced the company culture and improved the way setters interacted with closers about a lead by going the extra mile to vouch for my leads, giving closers a full breakdown of my conversation, and telling them how I feel about a lead to improve their overall energy on the call and interaction with the lead.
  • I collected over $240,000 in cash total and set a company record at that time of $50,000 in a single month by a setter.
  • Notorious for my ability to spot hot leads and prime them so well that they close minutes after I connect them with a closer. I did that so much while handling the DMs that I was nicknamed 'The Sniper' by team members.

Community of Closers
03.2023 - 05.2023

B2C info product. Community of Closers is a sales education company that trains and equips aspiring sales representatives or business owners. It teaches them the raw and uncut fundamentals of carrying a sales conversation, from discovery to closing a sale, and everything in between. I had the dual opportunity to learn and serve them for four months. This was a Nigerian offer by the way. It was the first gig I did in sales.


Responsibilities:

My responsibility was to message webinar opt-ins and attendees, have a short discovery with them on why they did not purchase the high-ticket offer, and get on a call with them to discuss the issues they had. Based on what I gather from the call, I either end up handling their objections and selling them on the initial offer, or in cases of insufficient funds (which was most common), I'd down-sell them on the low-ticket offer.


Key Achievements:

  • Generated over $5k in sales for the company as a beginner. Mostly low-ticket offers, so it was a big feat for me.
  • Ranked as top rep on the team, doubling the conversion performance of the rep behind me and other peers.
