Sales Assistant (Remote) – CRM, Scheduling & Sales Operations Support

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours (Aligned with Sales Team Schedules)

About the Role

We’re hiring a Sales Assistant to support a fast-moving sales team by keeping everything organized, accurate, and moving forward.

This is an execution-heavy, detail-driven role — you’re not selling, but you’re critical to making sales happen.

You’ll manage CRM data, coordinate meetings, prepare proposals, and ensure sales reps have everything they need to close deals.

If you’re organized, proactive, and thrive behind the scenes — this role is for you.

What You’ll Own

CRM Management (Core Focus)

  • Maintain clean, accurate CRM data across:
    • Salesforce
    • HubSpot
    • Zoho CRM
    • Pipedrive
  • Update leads, contacts, and opportunities daily
  • Remove duplicates, fix missing fields, and maintain data hygiene
  • Ensure pipeline visibility is always accurate

Scheduling & Sales Coordination

  • Schedule calls, demos, and follow-ups across time zones
  • Use tools like:
    • Google Calendar
    • Outlook
    • Calendly
  • Ensure sales reps are fully prepared before every meeting
  • Coordinate internal prep sessions and follow-ups

Proposal & Document Support

  • Draft, format, and proofread:
    • Sales proposals
    • Quotes
    • Presentations
  • Support RFP/RFI responses using templates
  • Create polished materials using:
    • Google Slides
    • Microsoft PowerPoint
    • Canva

Reporting & Sales Metrics

  • Generate weekly/monthly reports:
    • Pipeline activity
    • Conversion rates
    • Sales KPIs
  • Maintain dashboards for leadership visibility
  • Ensure reporting is accurate and on time

Communication & Follow-Ups

  • Draft follow-up emails after meetings
  • Send reminders, thank-you notes, and next steps
  • Support inbound lead routing and initial responses

Cross-Team Coordination

  • Work with:
    • Marketing (lead flow & campaigns)
    • Finance (contracts & approvals)
    • Operations (order processing)
  • Track handoffs to ensure nothing falls through the cracks

What Success Looks Like

  • CRM is always clean, structured, and reliable
  • Meetings are scheduled without friction or conflicts
  • Sales reps are fully prepared before every call
  • Reports are accurate and delivered on time
  • No delays in proposals, follow-ups, or communication

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • Extremely organized and detail-oriented
  • Strong written communicator (you’ll draft emails daily)
  • Proactive — you fix issues before being asked
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities
  • Enjoy supporting others and enabling success

Requirements (Must-Have)

Experience

  • 1–2 years in:
    • Sales support
    • Administrative roles
    • Operations or coordination roles

Core Skills

  • Hands-on experience with at least one CRM
  • Strong scheduling and calendar management
  • Proficiency in:
    • Google Workspace or Microsoft Office
  • Clear, professional written English

Nice to Have

  • Experience creating proposals or sales decks
  • Exposure to SDR/BDR workflows
  • Experience in:
    • B2B SaaS
    • Marketing agencies
    • Professional services
  • Basic reporting skills (Excel, dashboards, pivot tables)

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Update CRM data and clean pipeline records
  • Schedule meetings and coordinate calendars
  • Prepare proposals, decks, and documents
  • Generate reports for sales leadership
  • Send follow-ups and manage communication
  • Coordinate across teams to keep deals moving

In short:
You keep the sales engine organized, efficient, and moving forward.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • CRM accuracy (no duplicates, complete records)
  • On-time scheduling and meeting coordination
  • Error-free proposals and documents
  • Reporting accuracy and consistency
  • Feedback from sales team on support quality

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Clear ownership without sales pressure
  • High visibility impact on revenue teams
  • Opportunity to grow into:
    • Sales Ops
    • Account Management
    • Revenue Operations

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter
  • Practical Task (CRM cleanup + proposal draft)
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification

View company profile

The story of Pavago begins with a common entrepreneurial frustration. Its founders, Parker Cox and Ahmed Raza Ali, were running their own businesses and, like many others, found themselves grappling with the high costs and often underwhelming results of their digital marketing efforts. Determined to find a more efficient path to growth, they turned their sights to the global talent market. This decision to look offshore proved to be a pivotal moment. Within just three months of making their first offshore hire, they witnessed a remarkable 40% reduction in their Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This initial success was just the beginning of a transformative journey.

Encouraged by these results, they continued to build their offshore team, and within six months, they had expanded to seven team members. This strategic move not only drove down their operational labor costs by 22% but also led to significant increases across all their critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As they shared their success story with fellow business owners, they discovered a widespread need for what they had built. A waitlist of entrepreneurs quickly formed, all asking the same question: 'Can you help us scale our team the same way?' This overwhelming demand was the spark that ignited Pavago. The founders realized they had a key to unlock a competitive advantage for small and medium-sized businesses – democratizing access to incredible offshore talent. Today, Pavago stands as a comprehensive, all-in-one service partner for businesses looking to scale efficiently. They handle the entire process, from talent acquisition and onboarding to payroll management and compliance, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth while leveraging a global team of top-tier professionals.
