About the Role:
Your role will be to help small business customers choose Gusto. Interacting with customers who sign up on our website via email, chat, and live phone interactions, you’ll help match our people platform offering to their specific business needs, exercising advisory sales skills. You’ll help them navigate an important onboarding process, demonstrating sophisticated customer success skills.
Our team of over a hundred sales professionals includes folks practices across all channels and with different types of customers, but we all share deep passion and commitment to solutions selling: our company exists to solve problems for small businesses, and our sales team is a vital front door for small businesses who need and love our solutions. We have communal goals, a team spirit, and company leadership that cares about selling the right way.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
- Manage Inbound Volume: Handle high volume & high velocity inbound calls, chats and emails to customers at different points in the customer journey: discovery, qualification, sales, decision and onboarding
- Keep Clean Records: Maintain accurate notes in Salesforce for all leads worked
- Be a Trusted Advisor: Help customers select Gusto as a payroll platform
- Support Onboarding: Guide customers through account setup and initial onboarding
- Exhibit Customer Empathy: Demonstrate product knowledge and care for every customer interaction
- Master Advisory Selling: Exercise and refine solutions selling skills for small businesses
- Grow at Gusto: Participate in community and career development opportunities
- Use AI-powered workflows as a core part of how you sell: running assigned tools daily, surfacing friction and inefficiencies as you find them, and collaborating with your team to influence what gets built or improved next
Here’s what we're looking for:
- Sales Experience: 1+ year in a high volume sales or customer service environment where you were cross selling, up selling, or maintaining a quota or KPIs is a nice to have, not a requirement
- Open to New Grads: No sales background needed. We welcome candidates who are early in their career or looking to build a long-term path in sales
- Customer-First Mindset: A commitment to customer empathy and ethical business practices
- Drive to Excel: Passion to achieve goals and improve your craft
- Strong Communicator: Excellent communication skills both via phone and email/chat
- Adaptable & Driven: Motivated by challenge and adaptable to change
- AI: Proven, day-to-day experience integrating AI into how you work — across writing, research, prep, and summarization as a core part of your workflow, with a track record of giving clear, useful feedback that helps improve your tools and processes
Our cash compensation range for this role is offering hourly pay from $23.00 - $24.50 for Denver, Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta, and Phoenix. This is a base-only position with no commission component. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
