The Role
Do you have the heart of a closer — not the pushy kind, but the kind who changes lives?
Do you believe that great sales is about service, integrity, and helping people make brave decisions about their future?
Are you fluent in Spanish and English, and passionate about using your persuasive skills to help immigrants find safety, freedom, stability and peace of mind in the United States?
If so, please keep reading.
Before you go further, one important note: this is a weekend role. You'll work Thursday through Monday or Friday through Tuesday, with Saturday and Sunday always included.
Political Asylum Lawyers is hiring a Salesperson — a professional who can connect deeply, communicate clearly, and close confidently.
Only apply if you’re serious about joining a team that’s doing meaningful, life-changing work — helping immigrants secure their future in the United States through asylum.
You’ll be doing consultations with potential clients who have already booked with us — no cold calling. Your mission will be to guide them through an honest, empathetic, and high-stakes decision process, helping them understand how our firm can be their best path forward.
You’ll thrive here if you:
- Have the confidence to discuss complex and sensitive problems with maturity and compassion.
- Believe that every sales conversation should leave the other person better off — even if they don’t buy.
- Are resilient, coachable, and hungry to grow — personally, professionally, and financially.
- Take ownership of results and are driven by excellence, not excuses.
You’ll work from home and this role is open for applicants located in Argentina. You’ll need a quiet space, fast internet, and the discipline to stay on task without close supervision.
This is a five-day-a-week role built around the weekend. You choose the pattern that works best for you: Thursday through Monday or Friday through Tuesday. Either way, Saturday and Sunday are part of your week. Weekends are when most of our prospective clients are available to talk, so this is when you'll do your most important work and have the biggest impact on the firm and on the people we serve. If a Monday-to-Friday schedule is what you're after, this isn't the right role for you.
You must be flexible and adapt to change quickly — the way in which we conduct consultations will change frequently, as we’re constantly experimenting with how best to ensure that we communicate effectively the value that we can provide asylum seekers.
Infrequent travel to the United States may be required for in-person training.
We’re looking for growth-oriented people. We believe mindset is everything in sales, so we’re looking for someone who is self-confident and ambitious, as well as intellectually curious and obsessed with personal and professional development.
To be clear, the work is at times intense: we’re doing important — in some cases, life-or-death — work for our clients, sometimes on compressed timelines, and we’re serious about promoting a culture of excellence in all that we do. These expectations extend to consultations with prospective clients.
If you can meet our high standards, and you’re passionate about supporting people who truly need the best help possible as they face crisis, then you’ll find working at Political Asylum Lawyers to be immensely rewarding.
Our work changes lives. Our team takes immense pride in the role we play, through our advocacy and client engagement, in helping immigrants get safety, stability and freedom. Working here also means a chance to cultivate skills that will serve you for the rest of your career, as we prioritize training and professional development.
This is not a role for the faint of heart or for those looking to “get by.” We’re looking for those rare professionals who combine empathy, grit, and precision in everything they do.
What You'll Do
As a Salesperson, you will:
- Conduct strategy sessions (consultations) by video or phone with potential clients who have expressed interest in working with our firm.
- Learn to assess eligibility for asylum (don’t worry, we’ll train you — no prior legal background needed).
- Persuasively convey the value of our services, guiding prospective clients toward the decision that’s right for them.
- Follow up with leads via phone, email, and text to ensure no viable prospect is left behind.
- Keep meticulous notes and manage your pipeline through our CRM.
- Meet and exceed your conversion goals while delivering a world-class client experience.
- Collaborate with attorneys and team members to improve our consultation process and client onboarding.
