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)
• Target account size: SMBs with 2 to 15 locations; single-location businesses are not excluded but are deprioritized in prospecting

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

• Single platform replacing multiple tools: listings, reviews, and social media management in one AI-powered dashboard
• AI does the work — not just reporting. The platform executes responses and posts, not just tracks metrics
• Simpler and more affordable than enterprise-grade competitors
• Proven product with existing customer base in Europe and approximately 100 U.S. clients acquired since launch
• AI integration and Canva-powered content generation built in — no third-party subscriptions needed
• Review filtering feature gives business owners control over which reviews go public — a key differentiator for reputation-sensitive businesses

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.
