Bilingual Sales Intake Specialist - Remote Colombia — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This is a 100% remote, work-from-home role based in Colombia, making it accessible to Colombian residents regardless of city — whether you're in Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, or a smaller city. However, it is not a location-independent nomad role in the traditional sense: the contract is a Colombian Término Indefinido (indefinite term), which ties you to Colombian labor law and requires you to maintain Colombian residency and social security (EPS, Cesantías, Prima).
Timezone considerations: The role serves a US immigration law firm, so hours are almost certainly aligned with US business hours (likely Eastern or Central Time, UTC-5/UTC-6). The Monday–Friday schedule suggests fixed hours rather than fully async work, which limits flexibility for travel across distant time zones.
Salary context: At COP $3,500,000/month (~USD $850–$900/month at current rates), this salary is well-suited to Colombia's cost of living:
- Medellín: Comfortable lifestyle; rent for a good 1BR runs COP $1.5–2.5M/month.
- Bogotá: Adequate; costs are higher but manageable.
- Smaller Colombian cities: Excellent purchasing power.
This role is ideal for Colombian residents who want remote work stability with full legal benefits, rather than location-hopping nomads. No equipment stipend or coworking allowance is mentioned.
This role is ideal for a bilingual, energetic professional who enjoys talking to people, qualifying leads, and guiding them through a smooth sales and intake process.
You will be the firm's first point of contact with potential new clients. You will screen and qualify leads, schedule initial consultations, and make sure every person who reaches out leaves better off — whether through a consultation, a referral, or helpful resources. You will work closely with the firm's sales team and Firm Administrator, and your work will be supervised by an attorney.
Key Responsibilities:
- Talk to leads and identify whether they are qualified by asking a series of questions designed to identify the ideal A+ client, target the correct legal issues, gauge urgency and motivation, and determine whether there is a potential conflict of interest.
- Screen out unqualified leads using the same set of questions.
- Schedule qualified leads for initial consultations (sales calls).
- Initiate the pre-engagement glidepath for all prospects scheduled for an initial consultation, creating a sense of excitement and urgency about engaging the firm and improving the show-up rate.
- Make sure everyone who contacts the firm is better off, whether by scheduling a consultation, making a referral to an appropriate firm or contact, or sharing the firm's free resources.
- Prepare the salesperson with all the information needed for a successful consultation.
- Prepare engagement agreements and follow up to ensure prospects sign and make the agreed payment.
- Stay in contact with leads who do not schedule consultations, prospective new clients (PNCs) who do not show up, and PNCs who do not sign after their initial consultation, to keep the door open.
- Update the firm's databases, reports, and spreadsheets to track incoming calls, leads qualified, consultations scheduled, referral sources, and other key metrics.
Requirements:
- Fluent in Spanish and English (spoken and written).
- Prior customer service experience (required).
- Sales background; energetic and professional.
- Experience with a CRM, particularly data tracking and reporting (required).
- Education or work experience equivalent to a bachelor's degree. A degree is a plus but not a firm requirement.
- Knowledge of the legal industry is an asset.
- Real-life experience, including overcoming a major obstacle or making an important life change, is a plus.
Benefits:
- Salary: $3.500.000 COP monthly
- Schedule: Monday to Friday
- Work Modality: 100% Work from Home
- Job Security: Indefinite Term Contract (Término Indefinido)
- Full Benefits: Complete Colombian legal benefits (Prima, Cesantías, EPS, etc.)
- Growth: Opportunity to grow with a US immigration law firm
