Job description

Job Type: Full-Time
Location: 100% Remote
Timezone: US(PST)

Our client is seeking energetic and results-driven Sales Agents to join their high-performing team. In this role, Sales Agents will serve as the direct link between the company and the vibrant salon community. The primary focus will be on proactive outbound outreach—leveraging a combination of strategic cold calling and persuasive emailing—to connect with salon decision-makers, understand their unique challenges, and close deals.

This is an excellent opportunity for driven sales professionals who thrive on the thrill of the hunt and are passionate about making a tangible impact on small businesses within the beauty industry.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Full-Cycle Sales Hunting: Manage the entire sales process from initial cold outreach to finalizing the sale, consistently meeting and exceeding monthly sales quotas.
  • Strategic Prospecting: Identify and target salon owners, managers, and key influencers through various channels, building a robust pipeline of potential clients.
  • Powerful Outreach: Execute a high volume of strategic cold calls and personalized emails daily to generate interest, build rapport, and schedule meetings or product demonstrations.
  • Needs Analysis & Solution Selling: Conduct discovery calls to deeply understand the specific pain points, goals, and business needs of each salon.
  • Compelling Presentations: Articulate the value proposition of Company with passion and clarity, delivering tailored presentations and demos that resonate with salon professionals.
  • Objection Handling: Expertly address questions, concerns, and objections, turning skepticism into closed business.
  • CRM Excellence: Meticulously track all sales activities, customer interactions, and pipeline progress in our CRM (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) to ensure accurate forecasting.
  • Industry Expertise: Become a trusted advisor by staying current on salon industry trends, terminology, and competitive landscape.

Who We're Looking For:

  • A True Closer: You have a proven track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets. You are driven by winning and earning commission.
  • Resilient & Tenacious: You view "no" as a step closer to "yes." You maintain a positive and determined attitude in the face of rejection.
  • An Expert Communicator: You possess exceptional phone presence and professional email writing skills. You can build trust and credibility quickly.
  • Empathetic Listener: You ask great questions and listen intently to understand the real-world challenges of running a salon business.
  • Highly Organized & Self-Motivated: You can manage your time effectively, prioritize tasks, and maintain a high level of disciplined activity without constant supervision.
  • Passionate about Beauty: A genuine interest in or experience with the salon industry is a huge plus!

Qualifications & Experience:

  • 2+ years of experience in a full-cycle, closing sales role with a heavy emphasis on cold calling.
  • Demonstrable experience meeting or exceeding quarterly sales quotas.
  • Experience with CRM software and sales engagement platforms.
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; Bachelor’s degree in Business or related field is a plus.

Bonus Points If You Have:

  • Previous experience selling to salons, spas, or other small business owners in the beauty and wellness space.
  • Personal experience as a stylist or working in a salon environment.
