Sales Coach

Who We Are

Seaside Sustainability is a nonprofit organization based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Seaside Sustainability’s mission is to protect and restore our oceans by educating people of all ages about the critical issues that threaten our environment; promoting best practices for sustainability; and inspiring meaningful advocacy and hands-on action. Seaside works with schools, cities and towns, environmental groups, technology companies, and individuals.

Sales Coach Information

We’re looking for an experienced sales professional to inspire and coach our volunteer team to sell BeBot services (beach cleaning robots). You’ll help volunteers (many new to sales) learn how to confidently connect with municipal, commercial, and governmental partners, build relationships, and sell our beach-cleaning services. Your expertise will help shape an ethical, effective sales process that drives real environmental impact—creating cleaner, healthier coastlines for communities.

Key Responsibilities

• Mentor and coach volunteers in sales fundamentals: prospecting, lead qualification, relationship building, and closing.
• Advise on approaching municipalities, public-sector buyers, and landscaping companies, including understanding RFPs, procurement cycles, and compliance requirements.
• Provide feedback on sales materials (presentations, emails, proposals).
• Conduct or lead occasional workshops or mock sales sessions to build confidence and skills.
• Help establish simple, sustainable sales processes and tracking tools for the team.
• Support volunteers in aligning sales messaging with the organization’s environmental mission and values.

What You’ll Gain

• The opportunity to make a tangible environmental and social impact.
• A chance to share your professional expertise and empower others.
• A network of like-minded environmental advocates and innovators.
• Recognition as part of a growing movement for cleaner, healthier coasts.

Time Required

We would like someone who can mentor the team for at least 5 months; attending at least one weekly meeting with the group to start. Once team members have a clear understanding of what’s needed, monthly meetings with the team may suffice. More time would be needed upfront to understand the Clean Shores mission and BeBot.
