About This Role

As a Consultative Phone Sales Associate at Eurofins, you'll handle 30-40 inbound calls daily from individuals seeking confidential relationship testing services.

Success is measured by specific metrics including Closing Percentage, Revenue Per Call, and Calls Per Day in this fast-paced remote environment.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your typical day begins by reviewing performance metrics from the previous day before diving into 30-40 inbound calls from individuals seeking relationship testing services. You'll spend most of your time actively listening to customer situations, explaining testing options with sensitivity, using consultative techniques to address concerns, and documenting details accurately. Between calls, you'll follow up via email or chat while tracking your progress toward daily goals for call volume, conversion rates, and revenue targets.
