We're looking for Sales Trainers to join ELLEUMINATE, a training academy, and teach high-ticket sales methodology and negotiation coaching to mid-career professionals.
This is a contractor role where you deliver, and iterate on your own sales training curriculum within the ELLEUMINATE platform. You'll work directly with us on cohort launches, deliver live or hybrid sessions, and coach participants through real-world sales and negotiation challenges.
We want a practitioner who brings their own expertise, adapts the training to learner needs, and builds a reputation as a go-to sales coach within our community.
YOU'LL OWN
Curriculum Design:
- Develop your signature sales methodology or negotiation coaching framework
- Design training materials, case studies, real-world scenarios aligned to high-ticket sales and B2B negotiation
- Create engaging, practical learning experiences (classroom, virtual, or hybrid)
Live Delivery:
- Facilitate cohort-based training sessions (live or hybrid delivery)
- Coach participants through real negotiations and sales challenges happening in their own roles
- Deliver role-playing exercises, simulations, and feedback sessions
- Mentor individual participants on personal negotiation or sales wins
Continuous Improvement:
- Gather participant feedback and iterate on curriculum
- Track training effectiveness (did they close deals? Improve their negotiation outcomes?)
- Stay current on sales and negotiation trends, and adapt your approach
Entrepreneurial Operation:
- You build and market your training offering within ELLEUMINATE
- You own your participant experience from pre-training through post-training support
- You're accountable for participant outcomes and satisfaction
YOU BRING
Core Requirements:
- ACLP certification (WSQ Advanced Certificate in Learning and Performance or equivalent adult education qualification)
- 5+ years in high-ticket B2B sales or 5+ years sales training/coaching
- Proven negotiation expertise — you've negotiated million-dollar deals, closed complex contracts, or coached others to do so
- Strong understanding of B2B sales cycles and high-ticket dynamics (complex selling, multiple stakeholders, long sales processes)
- Track record designing and delivering engaging training — classroom, virtual, or coaching formats
- Ability to translate your sales experience into teachable frameworks (methodologies, playbooks, mental models)
How You Show Up:
- Entrepreneurial spirit — you think like a business owner, not an employee; you build, experiment, iterate
- Coaching mindset — you want participants to WIN, not just sit through your content
- Authenticity — you teach from real experience, not theory alone; you model the behaviors you teach
- Intellectual curiosity — you stay current on sales, negotiation, and high-performance trends
- Stakeholder management — you communicate clearly with us, respond to participant feedback, collaborate on cohort planning
NOT REQUIRED BUT VALUED
- Experience training entrepreneurs, founders, or high-growth company teams
- Background in complex B2B sales (enterprise software, consulting, professional services, recruitment)
- Coaching certifications (ICF, WBECS, etc.)
- Experience with digital learning platforms or managing cohort-based courses
- Track record of training outcomes (e.g., % of participants who closed deals, improved negotiation outcomes)
- Personal brand or following in the sales/negotiation space
You'll be training the Quiet High Achiever — mid-career professionals who are excellent at their jobs but invisible in the market.
Your sales and negotiation training should speak to how they build visibility through confident articulation of value, close bigger opportunities, and negotiate their own worth.
COMPENSATION:
Revenue split for experienced trainers with their own track record and brand
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Participants report high satisfaction (4.5+ out of 5 rating)
- Participants apply what they learned — they close deals, improve negotiation outcomes, or land new roles with better pay
- You build a reputation — participants recommend you; referrals come naturally
- You iterate and improve — each cohort is stronger than the last
- You scale — from 1 cohort to multiple cohorts running, potentially building a team under you
ONE MORE THING
We're building a community of practitioners, not collecting content creators. You don't need to be polished or have thousands of followers. You need to be credible, practical, and committed to your participants' success.
If you've sold complex deals, negotiated million-dollar contracts, or coached others through real sales challenges — that's the expertise we want. Bring it.
