Sales Development Representative
TLDR
Build pipeline for a hospitality AI platform through 100+ daily dials, executive discovery conversations, and continuous outbound testing.
About the Role
This is a pipeline-building role at a seed-stage AI platform purpose-built for the hospitality industry. You will be the first point of contact for hotel groups, vacation rental managers, and multi-property operators, generating the qualified meetings that turn into closed revenue. It is also the fastest path to a closing seat on the team.
What You'll Do
Prospect daily through cold calls, email, and social outreach, targeting a baseline of 100+ dials per day.
Run proven outbound sequences and plays before testing your own variations.
Qualify inbound and outbound leads through short discovery conversations with founders, COOs, and heads of guest experience.
Book demos by quickly surfacing the prospect's core pain: volume of doors managed, property management system used, and where guest communication is breaking down.
Relay objections, emerging segments, and market signals back to the sales and founding team while they are still fresh.
Track and report conversion at every step of the sequence, testing subject lines, openers, and cadences continuously.
What We're Looking For
2+ years of experience in a quota-carrying or high-volume outbound SDR or BDR role.
Comfortable making 100+ outbound calls per day with resilience through rejection.
Experience selling a technical product, ideally AI or SaaS software.
Background in a B2B SaaS startup environment.
Proficiency with CRM systems (Salesforce is a plus), sequencing tools, and dialers.
Experience qualifying and booking meetings with executive-level buyers such as COOs and operators in enterprise accounts.
Quick learner who can absorb a technical domain and speak to it credibly within weeks.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
