Provide exceptional service to clients from initial contact through contracting: you’ll ensure clients are properly routed through our process, are connected with the right member of the Client Support team (including yourself), and feel supported along the way. Connect -- approximately 35% of your time Conduct initial client inquiry calls: talking with clients to explore their needs and learn more about their team’s strengths and challenges. Manage client experience from inquiry call to contract including determining training audience and agenda, trainer match, selecting a training date, pricing, and contracting. (And keeping track of all these moving pieces with excellent follow up and follow through!) Match client with TMC services, products, and content that best meet clients’ needs while making strategic decisions reflecting TMC’s organizational objectives. Whenever possible, provide clients with quick assessment, coaching, and/or tools during initial communication that provides some immediate assistance.   Administration -- approximately 30% of your time Ensure accurate entry and updates to client data into our database (Salesforce) so that we can track our pipeline, impact and progress towards goals! Collaborate with Training Team and Administration Team in matching trainers with open registration training sessions. Take on ad hoc special projects for the Client Support Team to help to streamline our processes and make them more effective for the team and for clients   What Else You Should Know We are an equal opportunity employer, are committed to racial equity, and we make a particular effort to recruit people of color, indigenous people, gender-non-binary people, and others who have historically marginalized identities to apply for open positions.   This position is based in Washington, D.C., and is full-time.  We also offer the opportunity to work from home at least one day per week.   The salary range for this role is between $61,200 - $71,400, with exact salary depending on experience and new staff rarely starting at the top of the range .  We also offer excellent benefits, including an additional 5% employer contribution to your retirement fund with no match required.
