Remote Sales Support Specialist

Company Overview:

Our company mission is to help Medicare beneficiaries select the right Medicare plan for their needs. We are dedicated to the goal of making Medicare selection easy through our brand easyMedicare. We’re entering the year with a strong base of hundreds of U.S.-based licensed insurance sales agents; recruitment strategies to onboard hundreds more; and a cross-functional, global support network to support advanced operational and corporate activities. With such high growth, we are thoughtfully advancing our e-TeleQuote easyMedicare family to meet the diverse and sophisticated needs of our multi-continent employee population.

About the Position:

The Remote Sales Support Specialist is the first point of contact that many of our clients and prospects have with our company. We’re looking for kind, welcoming individuals to greet the Medicare beneficiaries – many of whom are senior citizens – who call us to learn more about their healthcare coverage options. Using a series of scripted questions, you’ll determine what kind of help each caller needs and direct their calls to the appropriate department, collect information from the caller, and/or take a message so the right person can call them back. In our highly regulated industry with connections to healthcare, Call Center Representatives must be comfortable having all calls recorded and activities on their computers.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a sales position. This role supports our team of hundreds of licensed insurance agents.
