Description

Every day, we work together for what matters – bold, swift, and equitable climate action.
ABOUT THE ROLE
In this role at 3Degrees, you’ll have the opportunity to make a measurable difference. Our Sales team is a group of passionate professionals dedicated to achieving sales success while driving climate action. As a Sales Representative with our Contact Center, you’ll be at the forefront of our outreach efforts, helping drive enrollments in climate sustainability programs offered by utility partners to their customers. Your role will focus on proactive customer engagement and maintaining high service standards while contributing to our overall mission. You’ll play a direct role in reducing carbon footprints and promoting cleaner energy solutions. If you’re a results-driven sales professional who thrives on making an impact while contributing to climate solutions, this is the role for you.
This is a full-time, remote, non-exempt role reporting to a Contact Center Supervisor. It is open to candidates residing in the following U.S. states: CO, CT, DC, FL, IL, MA, ME, MI, MN, MO, NJ, OR, TX, UT, VA, WA, and WI. Remote workers agree that their home office provides a comfortable and productive environment that enables success as a “remote” employee.  Please Note: 3Degrees does not provide sponsorship and/or relocation assistance; therefore, pre-existing right-to-work status is a prerequisite to be considered for this position.


WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a Sales Representative at 3Degrees, you’ll engage directly with utility customers to enroll them in climate sustainability programs.

  • Contribute to Innovation: Collaborate with the team in brainstorming, refining, and testing new or existing sales pitches to improve program effectiveness and customer engagement.
  • Privacy and Security: Observe all digital privacy protocols to ensure customer confidentiality and secure data handling in the contact center.
  • Attention to Detail: Deliver accurate and complete details about customer and enrollment information.
  • Continuous Improvement: Participate in training and meetings to enhance your sales skills and deepen your knowledge of our sustainability programs.
  • Team Collaboration: Support team initiatives by preparing materials for outreach shifts, contributing to training efforts through shadowing and role-playing exercises, and working collaboratively with colleagues to improve overall performance.
