Summary

About the opportunity We're an early-stage company selling a B2B product to independent hotels and lodges across the US. We're building out our outbound motion and looking for a part-time SDR to be the human front line — cold-calling and qualifying prospects, and booking meetings that our founder closes. You'll work a pre-screened list we provide (we handle all sourcing and data), so your time goes into conversations, not list-building. Part-time to start, with a path to full-time and expanded scope for a strong performer. What you'll do 1. Cold-call a qualified, pre-screened list we hand you (names, emails, direct dials provided), coordinated with our automated email outreach 2. Qualify each prospect against a specific rubric we provide, and book meetings for our founder to close 3. Work within our approved messaging and talk-track guardrails (we provide the scripts and responses) 4. Keep clean, disciplined notes so our records stay accurate Requirements (must-haves) - 2+ years in outbound B2B sales — SDR/BDR, cold-calling, or appointment setting - Excellent spoken English and strong phone presence; comfortable with consistent outbound dialing - Reliable overlap with US business hours - Able to qualify prospects on the criteria we provide — including enough hospitality-systems literacy (PMS, booking engines, OTA/API integrations) to ask the right questions on a call, not just gauge interest or budget - Comfortable following strict messaging guardrails precisely (this role requires sticking to approved language, not improvising) - Disciplined about capturing notes and outcomes cleanly and consistently - Self-directed and dependable in a part-time, remote setup Nice to have - Experience selling into hospitality, travel, or to independent/SMB operators - SaaS or tech-product background with an integration or "technical fit" qualification angle - Familiarity with common tools — HubSpot (CRM), a dialer (Aircall, Kixie, Orum, Nooks), Calendly — helpful but not required; we can supply what's needed Compensation (part-time, contract-to-hire) - Base retainer of $1,000/month (or ~$20/hr) for ~10–15 hrs/week - $100 bonus per qualified meeting we accept - $400 backend bonus per deal that signs and clears our size threshold - Path to full-time / expanded scope for a strong performer Logistics Start: as soon as September 2026 (part-time pilot) All tools and accounts provided To apply — please answer these (we read every one; vague or copy-paste answers won't move forward): First, start your reply with the word "BOOKING" so we know you read the post and answer all 5 screening questions completely.
