Sales Talent for German AI-Startup

We are building an AI startup with a product that solves a real problem for businesses. The product is fully developed and the first bigger clients are on board. We are now looking for our first Sales hire. This is not a typical sales job where you receive a list of leads and simply work through it. You will be one of the first people responsible for building our sales operation from the ground up. Your main focus will be cold calling, speaking directly with potential customers, and turning qualified prospects into customers through compelling product presentations and demos. You will work directly with the founders, have a lot of freedom to test different approaches, and play a major role in shaping how we sell our product. And there is a bigger opportunity here: If we work well together and you consistently deliver results, there is a clear path to becoming our Head of Sales, building and leading your own sales team, and potentially joining the company as a Co Founder in the future. What We Offer • Full time, 30 to 40 hours per week • $20 to $30 per hour, depending on experience • Performance based revenue share for every customer you personally win • Direct collaboration with the founders • Fully remote • Paid onboarding and training • Flexible working hours within DACH core business hours • Significant freedom and responsibility • Opportunity to build the sales process from scratch • Long term growth opportunity into Head of Sales • Potential Co Founder opportunity for the right person • An AI product in a rapidly growing market Your Main Responsibilities • Make regular outbound cold calls to potential customers • Identify decision makers and create genuine sales opportunities • Conduct product presentations and live demos • Follow up with warm leads and prospects • Handle sales conversations from first contact through closing • Build and maintain relationships with potential customers • Keep the CRM up to date • Track and improve your own sales performance • Work directly with the founders to develop and optimize our sales process • Help us identify what works, what does not, and how we can scale it What We Are Looking For • Native German speaker • Several years of B2B sales experience • Strong cold calling and outbound sales experience • Confident conducting product presentations and sales demos • Ideally experience selling SaaS, software, or other digital products • Excellent communication and negotiation skills • Comfortable speaking with decision makers • Highly motivated by performance and results • Independent, structured, and proactive working style • Comfortable working in a startup environment where processes are still being built • Strong interest in AI and technology This Could Be a Great Fit If... You enjoy picking up the phone and actually talking to people. You are not afraid of rejection and understand that successful outbound sales is a numbers game combined with good communication. You want more than just another freelance sales contract. You want to help build something from the beginning, have a direct impact on revenue, and potentially grow into a leadership role. If you are ambitious, entrepreneurial, and confident that you can generate customers, we would love to hear from you. Please include a short description of your previous B2B sales experience, the products or services you have sold, and your experience with cold calling and product demos. We are looking for someone who can start relatively soon, is looking for a long term position and can commit to 30 to 40 hours per week.
