The posting
HEALTH CANâT WAIT.
Not for symptoms to get worse. Not for a sixâmonth appointment. Not for a system to catch up. But thatâs exactly how healthcare works today. You wait, until you canât.
Alan exists to end the wait.
Health is a universal right, and we believe this right can only become real when itâs coupled with prevention. We need to stop treating health as something we repair and start treating it as something we build, every day. Itâs not solely a question of willpower. Itâs the healthcare system itself that needs to work for everyone, in a sustainable way.
So we are building the new standard in prevention insurance. Alan is the first company that integrates insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience.
We are on an incredible journey to build a global leading company, with a unique culture https://alan.com/en/careers. We already partner with 40K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 1M+ members, and have reached âŹ800M+ in ARR.
Prevention as the new norm. That's what we're building with our team of 1000+ people. If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond.
âïž YOUR MISSION
The inbound sales role at Alan Belgium was launched in 2024. Alan is growing in Belgiumâs largest market in number of companies (freelancers, very small companies or âSMEsâ). After a successful launch, we are now scaling a team to help us accelerate in this market.
Your mission will be to support prospects going through Alanâs online buying process (âself-serve experienceâ) in their buying process (quote requests, chat conversations, meetings, and callback requests): You proactively reach out, advise them on the most relevant insurance products, and convince them of Alanâs added value.
Your objective is to close these prospects, increasing Alanâs foothold in this new market, your targets are âcontracts signedâ. Your prospects are single member companies (e.g. freelancers, consultants), and very small companies (1 to 9 employees).
To be successful in your role, you will:
- become an expert in insurance and our product, developing a deep understanding of what we sell (and what our competitors sell) in order to confidently answer questions & objections from prospects.
- develop the best-in-class sales and storytelling skills, learning to understand what is important to your prospects, how you craft compelling arguments to objections, and how to craft narratives to showcase Alan value, build trust, credibility, and lead your deal to a close.
- learn how to manage your pipeline efficiency and close deals every single day of the year, which is very stimulating.
- contribute to making our product even better by identifying and sharing product feedback, blockers, and feedback to improve the self-serve experience.
This role is a stepping stone to build a strong foundation to become a top-performing sales professional. As an Inbound Sales, you will be enrolled in Alanâs sales traineeship program, which is our extensive internal program to onboard, train and coach high potentials into our future top performers in sales. Youâll be on a continuous learning curve where you can learn from and work with a top-notch sales team, whilst gradually increasing your scope and impact on the business.
