Account Executive, Field Sales

$65,000 – $75,000 per year

TLDR

Own the full field sales cycle from prospecting to on-site closing with restaurant owners, building a self-sourced pipeline through in-person outreach.

About Us Sauce is a restaurant technology platform helping local businesses grow through commission-free delivery and pickup, powered by our proprietary delivery optimization technology. We serve a $105B+ U.S. local restaurant market and help restaurants own their digital and delivery operations end-to-end.   We’re a team that acts fast, stays close to the details, communicates with optimism, and supports one another relentlessly. We care deeply about delivering value for customers, improving a little bit every day, and using data and insight—not guesswork—to guide decisions. When challenges come up (and they do), we solve them together.      The Opportunity As an Outbound BDR, you will be responsible for generating new sales opportunities through proactive, targeted outreach. Unlike inbound roles that respond to existing interest, you will identify, research, and engage restaurants that fit Sauce’s Ideal Customer Profile before they’ve raised their hand — creating demand where none existed yet. This is a high-impact role for someone who is relentlessly self-motivated, comfortable initiating cold conversations with busy business owners, and energized by the challenge of opening doors and building pipeline from scratch. What You’ll Own
  • Own the full sales cycle — prospect, pitch, demo, negotiate, and close — primarily in person and on-site

  • Canvass assigned NYC territories door-to-door, building relationships with restaurant owners and operators

  • Self-source the majority of your pipeline through in-person prospecting, walk-ins, and local networking

  • Work leads and appointments provided by the BDR team to supplement self-generated pipeline

  • Conduct on-site discovery to understand each operator’s delivery costs, margins, and growth goals

  • Deliver compelling, tailored demos of Sauce and articulate clear ROI to busy owners

  • Negotiate and close deals on-site, managing pricing and terms within company guidelines

  • Manage a full pipeline and accurately forecast in HubSpot

  • Ensure a smooth handoff to onboarding and Customer Success after the sale

  • Hit and exceed monthly new-business and revenue targets

  • Provide field intelligence on competitors, objections, and neighborhood-level trends

What You Bring

Required

  • Proven ability to close — a track record of hitting or exceeding sales targets

  • Comfort and confidence with face-to-face prospecting and door-to-door selling

  • Excellent verbal communication, presence, and relationship-building skills

  • Resilience, persistence, and self-motivation in a high-rejection environment

  • Strong discovery and negotiation skills

  • Highly organized and disciplined in managing territory, pipeline, and time

  • Comfort working autonomously in the field with minimal day-to-day oversight

  • Experience using CRM systems such as HubSpot or Salesforce

  • Willingness and ability to travel locally throughout NYC daily

  • Preferred

    • Restaurant industry experience or experience selling to restaurants

    • Prior full-cycle, field, or door-to-door sales experience

    • Experience selling SMB SaaS or payments/technology to local businesses

    • Familiarity with HubSpot

    • Bilingual– especially Spanish

    • Startup experience
