JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a highly articulate and research-oriented Sales Virtual Assistant to spearhead an outreach campaign for our patented infrared imaging technology. Your primary mission is to connect with museums and art restoration experts worldwide to introduce a non-destructive technology that reveals hidden sketches and "fake" signatures behind original oil paintings.
This is not a typical high-volume call center role. It requires a sophisticated approach, an appreciation for art, and the ability to explain complex spectral technology to curators and PhD scientists.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Generation & Research: Identify museums and auction houses globally (US, Germany, Switzerland, Kazakhstan, etc.). Locate the specific individuals responsible for painting reconstruction, conservation, and infrared technology.
Cold Outreach: Initiate first-contact calls and emails to "break into" museums.
Technical Pitching: Confidently explain the value proposition of our patented infrared/visible light cameras, focusing on their ability to see through layers of paint pixel-by-pixel.
Lead Qualification: Determine if the museum has an active need for imaging technology and a budget for new equipment.
Appointment Setting: Successfully bridge the gap between the initial call and a technical deep-dive. You will book Zoom or Teams appointments for our lead PhD scientists.
CRM & Reporting: Maintain an organized spreadsheet or CRM (HiRise) with detailed logs of every call, including "battle plans" at the start of the day and success reports at the end.


Process Workflow

Candidate Requirements

Fluency in English: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills are mandatory for the North American and European markets.
Sales Acumen: Proven experience in cold calling and "opening doors" in well-defined, niche markets.
Art/Technical Interest: A genuine interest in art history, museums, or high-end imaging technology is a significant plus. You must be able to understand that an oil painting is not just an image, but a historical artifact with layers.
Psychological Resilience: The ability to handle "no" and navigate gatekeepers within large cultural institutions.
Tech Literacy: Familiarity with CRM tools, Excel, and international dialers (e.g., RingCentral, ---------- , or Zoom).


Work Structure & Performance Metrics

Accountability: You will provide a daily report detailing the number of calls made, the status of each (positive/negative), and any scheduled follow-ups.
Training: You will undergo a briefing phase to learn the specific nuances of our spectral camera technology and the common pain points of museum curators.
Success-Based Growth: While the role starts with a defined block of hours, long-term success is measured by the quality of appointments booked and eventual sales conversions.


Preferred Qualifications

Previous experience working with museums or art galleries.
Background in "Exploratory Sales" for high-ticket machinery or IT products.
Self-starter attitude with the ability to research new international markets independently.

Working Hours: 20 hours a month as a starting.
