Reputation management: consolidates reviews from Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other publishers in one view; uses AI to draft review responses with customizable tone

PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS / INDUSTRY FOCUS / DECISION MAKER(S)

Multi-location SMBs with 2 to 15 locations — the platform's primary sweet spot

Industries: restaurants, med spas, medical offices, hair salons, gyms, retail, and professional services

Geographic market: United States — national territory

Decision-makers: business owners, operators, and marketing managers at multi-location SMBs

Buyer profile: non-technical operators who are managing reviews, listings, and social media across multiple locations using separate tools, and are looking to consolidate

SALES CYCLE / ORDER VALUE / ACCOUNT SIZE

Average sales cycle: 1 to 4 weeks

Deal structure: monthly subscription or annual contract (annual is the preferred close; discounts available for year-long commitments)

TYPICAL DAY & DUTIES

75% New Business Development

25% Administrative and CRM duties (pipeline logging, activity tracking, HubSpot updates)

On a typical day, you will be making outbound calls and sending emails to multi-location SMB owners and operators, building and refining your own prospect lists, qualifying opportunities by uncovering pain around fragmented marketing tools, booking discovery meetings for the Head of Sales, logging all activity in HubSpot, and occasionally joining onboarding calls with new trial clients to support conversion from monthly to annual contracts.

LEADS

25% warm leads supplied by the company

25% lists supplied by the company

50% self-prospected — reps are expected to build their own outbound lists and pipeline

High-volume outbound calling is a core expectation of this role — candidates who prefer inbound or low-activity sales environments are not a fit

OVERNIGHT TRAVEL
None required. This is a 100% inside sales role. All prospecting, qualifying, and meeting booking is conducted by phone, email, and video (Zoom/Teams). No client field visits or overnight travel are expected.

SUPPORT & TRAINING

Hands-on onboarding and product training provided by the Hiring Manager

Training includes call scripting, mock cold-call exercises, and real-time coaching and feedback

Ongoing coaching: the Hiring Manager has an established track record of building training documentation and providing hands‑on rep development

Direct access to leadership — you will work alongside the Hiring Manager and the CEO, not buried in a large corporate hierarchy

Validated product with European market traction and a growing U.S. customer base — you are selling something that works and that customers renew
