Job opening: Sales Representative at Next Learning Valley

Next Learning Valley helps organizations realize their learning ambitions with innovative learning methods and technologies. As experts in the educational implementation of learning technology, we are active in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. With our Learning Suite, we build powerful learning ecosystems in which people and organizations continuously learn, share, and grow.

We work with leading organizations such as ABN AMRO, VodafoneZiggo, the Red Cross, and the Ministry of Defense. Our work has been recognized and awarded internationally, including by Learning Pool and Learning Technologies.

To accelerate our growth, we are looking for a Sales Representative who makes a difference, someone who brings structure to opportunities, creativity to proposals, and energy to collaboration.

Your role

As a Sales Representative, you are responsible for the entire sales process: from identifying opportunities to successful delivery and evaluation. You combine a commercial mindset with project-based working and know how to translate customer needs into convincing solutions.

You will work closely with management, marketing, and learning consultants to turn every opportunity into a success. You will use modern tools such as HubSpot, Planner, SharePoint, and Power Automate to help you maintain overview, quality, and speed.

What you will do

• You identify and evaluate tenders and bids via platforms such as Mercell and CRM systems.
• You analyze customer questions, assess chances of success, and determine the right approach together with the team.
• You manage deadlines via our integrated sales planning (Planner & Power Automate).
• You will guide the internal team through RFIs and RFPs and ensure that proposals are substantively strong and visually appealing.
• You sell solutions related to learning, technology, and services with convincing arguments.
• You will build lasting relationships with customers and partners, and develop new opportunities in collaboration with François Walgering (Founder & Managing Partner).
• You collect and share insights in our Sales Learning Loop, so that we can continuously learn from successes and areas for improvement.
• You provide demos of our Learning Suite (StreamLXP, Learning Locker, Waves) with the right preparation and impact.

How you work

Not only are you commercially strong, but you are also organized. Thanks to our new sales methodology, you will work with:

• A central CRM and project environment (HubSpot, Teams, SharePoint).
• Templates and playbooks for quality and consistency.
• A Sales Dashboard that provides insight into pipeline, status, and responsibilities.
• The four-eyes principle and quality checklists to keep every proposal sharp.

In short: you bring structure, clarity, and energy to our sales practice.

What defines you

• You have a network in the world of Learning & Development (NL, BE, or DE).
• You speak and write fluent Dutch and English; German is an advantage.
• You are strong in communication, analysis, and writing.
• You understand the culture of L&D and know what is going on in organizations.
• You have a college or university level of thinking and a can-do attitude.
• You enjoy pitching, planning, and perfecting proposals.

Working at Next Learning Valley

At our company, you will work alongside a team of passionate experts in the fields of education, technology, consultancy, marketing, and project management. We learn from and with each other—and you can feel that every day.

What you can expect:

• An open, pleasant working atmosphere with plenty of room for your own ideas.
• Collaboration in multidisciplinary teams that reinforce each other.
• Insight into the latest learning technologies and implementations at leading organizations.
• Flexibility: work from home or in our co-working space in Utrecht.
• A competitive salary, excellent benefits, pension plan, and company laptop.
• And above all: room to grow, because when you grow, we grow too.

Are you driven to advise customers, build relationships, and achieve success? Join an ambitious sales team that is committed to results.
