About the Role:

Nerdy is seeking high-performing sales and customer retention professionals based in the Philippines to join our growing Customer Retention team. This is not a traditional support role. This is a sales-driven retention position where your primary mission is to protect revenue, strengthen customer trust, and turn cancellation requests into renewed confidence in our services. You’ll engage in meaningful, high-stakes conversations with families who are considering leaving. Through consultative selling, empathy, and resilience, you’ll uncover their needs, overcome objections, and recommend the right solutions to keep students on track.

If you thrive in performance-based environments, excel at closing, and are passionate about education, this is your opportunity to make a measurable impact—while being rewarded for your results.

Why Nerdy?

• Innovative Technology: Join a leading U.S. educational technology company transforming how people learn through innovative technology and personalized learning solutions.

• Career Growth Opportunities: This fully remote, full-time role includes hands-on training and performance-based advancement into training, leadership, and other areas of the business. Excel in your role and watch your career—and earnings—grow.

• Lucrative Bonuses: Exceed your retention and renewal targets to unlock performance bonuses and additional incentives.

• Make a Difference: Help students achieve their academic goals and positively impact their educational journey.

What You’ll Do:

• Own a high volume of inbound cancellation and at-risk customer calls with a focus on retaining revenue.

• Conduct consultative conversations to uncover needs and recommend solutions such as tutoring programs, live classes, or homeschool support.

• Turn objections into opportunities through persuasive, empathetic communication.

• Take full ownership of at-risk accounts, re-engaging families with personalized recommendations.

• Meet and exceed key performance metrics, including saves, renewals, revenue retention, and customer satisfaction.

• Leverage Nerdy AI and internal systems to guide conversations and accelerate solutions.

• Maintain accurate CRM documentation and ensure proper follow-up.

• Navigate complex or emotionally charged situations with professionalism and a win-back mindset.

• Partner with sales, product, and training teams to share insights that strengthen retention strategy.

• Actively apply coaching and feedback to continuously improve performance.

What Success Looks Like:

• You consistently retain at-risk customers by aligning solutions to their needs.

• Families trust you as a knowledgeable advisor who helps them navigate their child’s learning journey.

• You meet or exceed weekly and monthly revenue retention targets—and earn strong bonuses as a result.

• You embrace coaching, refine your approach, and use AI tools to elevate your performance daily.

Qualifications:

• Fluent in English with strong reading, writing, and verbal communication skills.

• 3+ years of experience in sales, customer retention, escalations, or consultative phone-based roles.

• At least 6 months of experience living or working in an English-speaking market, or in a role requiring full-shift professional English usage (e.g., travel industry).

• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales or revenue retention goals.

• Strong objection-handling and closing skills under pressure.

• High emotional intelligence and empathy, particularly when working with families.

• Experience handling escalations or save/cancel conversations.
