Sales Assist Representative

Zapier Zapier · Enterprise · APAC · Sales & Success

This role is for a Sales Assist Representative at Zapier, focusing on assisting customers through live chat, demos, and emails to facilitate their evaluation and purchase of Zapier's automation offers. The role involves inspiring automation use-cases, addressing procurement questions, and removing friction from the buying process. While the company uses AI and encourages its use by applicants and employees, this specific role is in sales and does not involve building or shipping AI models.

What you'd actually do

  1. On a daily basis, most of your time will be on live chat (4+ hours) with customers through Zendesk. With the rest split between calls and emails. You’ll lead demos virtually to model a wide range of use-cases in which Zapier can help drive ROI for our customers. You’ll educate the user on use-cases to help inspire more ways they can automate within their business. You’ll lead them from interest, to learning more about our product to purchase. Success here is measured by our ability to qualify leads for other teams and convert customers yourself.
  2. through live chat queues and product qualified lead (PQL) emails, you’ll drive an influenced revenue metric with qualified leads to be handed to other teams and members.
  3. Identifying learnings from your customer demos and passing them along as a feedback loop is critical in this role. This looks like tagging your call recordings with product feedback opportunities, or identifying areas where improved collateral may have accelerated the sales-process. To do so, you’ll need to be excellent at written communication.

What the JD emphasized

  • You use AI in your work today — not occasionally, but as part of how you operate at a high level. You can point to workflows you’ve built, how your approach has evolved through iteration, and the impact on quality, efficiency, and experience — while intentionally applying AI for the right outcomes, setting a high bar for outputs, and taking ownership of what ships.
