Outside Sales Associate
Outside Sales Associate (Entry/mid level experience)
We are seeking high energy individuals to grow with our (food-inspired) tech startup SAAS company based in the heart of Manhattan. Simply put, your job will be to help us grow our customer base in a variety of creative ways while working closely with other members of the team and the managing partners on a daily basis.
This is an entry level position at our office based in Manhattan. Position will require a blend of day to day feet on the street travel within NYC as well as in office hours, with emphasis on face to face interactions with potential clients. Your ultimate goal at the end of the day is to develop a book of business, converting leads into set appointments and ultimately conversions. Your target audience will be restaurant owners and managers who can use our proprietary online ordering technology and marketing solutions to grow their business.
About Us
Our mission is to facilitate a line of communication and direct online ordering between restaurants and their customers. The current atmosphere for typical online ordering has virtually hijacked customers away from the restaurants they were meant to serve. Instead, we partner with restaurants to promote their brand first, powering their platform silently in the background. Our business model is unique and sought after and the technology has already been battle tested and proven to save hundreds of restaurants time, money, resources and the current disconnect they have with their customer base. We have customers all over the world, but our main focus for this position will be on working in our backyard, NYC!
Your Responsibilities
Prospect for and develop leads based on our outlined criteria using a variety of creative ways such as in person walk-ins, social, email, phone, web research or by attending industry related events. Creativity is key when trying to get in contact with the right person. Our support team will also filter through pre-qualified cold leads to you. You will manage those leads to determine the quality and the next best step to reach out to them at that stage.
Set demo meetings or next stage phone meetings for yourself or our senior reps in the beginning.
Manage day to day data and progress in an organized manner and communicate it properly through our CRM in order to keep everyone up to speed on your book of business.
Create excitement around our product to potential clients
Meet and exceed our realistic quotas, were not here to badger anyone aint nobody got time for that.
