Revolution Prep, the nation’s best and most innovative tutoring firm is seeking several driven, high energy, smart, entrepreneurial and sophisticated sales consultants in a variety of locations. Sales representatives are primarily responsible for generating sales of tutoring programs, to be delivered by our faculty of amazing salaried tutors.
The most effective sales consultants tend to be highly educated members of highly educated and typically affluent communities where education is deeply valued. They may have children in the local private school system, and they typically have a background in high end/luxury sales. At Revolution, we pride ourselves foremost on the quality of our tutors, but also on the quality of our sales and customer service processes. The first prerequisite for our tutors is a genuine interest in the wellbeing of our students, and the same goes for our sales consultants.
