Sales Development Representative (Part-Time, Growth Track to Sales Executive)
Job Description
We’re hiring two part-time Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) to work together as a sales pod — calling restaurant owners, setting appointments, and building the foundation for a future role in full-time sales.
This role is not easy. You’ll be cold calling a lot — and hearing “no” even more. But you’ll also be learning how to sell from the ground up. If you’re self-motivated, tough, and hungry to prove something to yourself or the world, we’ll teach you everything you need to know. We don’t care if you’ve never worked in sales — we care that you want to learn, that you can handle rejection, and that you’ll show up with a great attitude and a willingness to work hard and get better.
This job is built for someone who wants to earn a promotion. It’s a stepping stone to becoming a full-time Sales Executive (closing deals and making more money), and we want to promote from within.
You’ll be working in person at our Chico office, Monday–Thursday from 9 AM–1 PM. That’s 16 hours/week. We’ll coach you hard, cheer you on, and expect you to pull your weight. You’ll also be expected to travel to 3–4 out-of-state trade shows per year , where we exhibit and meet restaurant owners in person.
What you’ll be doing:
Cold calling restaurant owners and managers using our lead lists
Following a script (and learning how to make it your own)
Booking qualified demos for our Sales Executives or CEO
Making sure every lead has a working phone number and email (no ghost bookings)
Taking detailed call notes and logging activity in our CRM (we use Close)
Checking in regularly with your manager for coaching and accountability
Supporting and learning alongside your SDR teammate
What you’ll gain:
$16.50/hour + $30 bonus per qualified demo booked (most SDRs earn $60–$120/week in bonus)
Hands-on sales training, feedback, and support
Real experience in cold calling, prospecting, objection handling, and booking appointments
A fast track to promotion if you perform well — most of our best Sales Executives started in this exact role
A chance to prove yourself in a hard role — and build real skills that actually matter
Qualifications
You must be able to work in-person at our Chico, CA office — this is not a remote role.
We’re looking for someone who:
Has a strong desire to learn how to sell
Is not afraid of hard things — like making dozens of cold calls and hearing “no” all morning
Is comfortable talking to people they’ve never met
Can stay energized and positive under pressure
Is coachable, consistent, and responsible
Is self-motivated and internally driven to improve
Wants to be part of a tight-knit team
Bonus points if you:
Are taking or have taken sales, marketing, or business classes (Chico State or otherwise)
Have worked in a restaurant or are familiar with the hospitality industry
Have done outreach work before (phone banking, canvassing, fundraising, etc.)
Are early in your career and looking to build foundational sales skills
Have minimal outside responsibilities and are able to focus on growth and travel as needed
This job is challenging — but that’s the point. We’re looking for people who want a challenge, who want to grow, and who are willing to put in the reps to get there.
Additional Information
This is a part-time, in-person role at our Chico office — Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM–1:00 PM.
You’ll be working closely with another SDR and a Sales Manager who will train and support you throughout. You’ll also need to be available for 3–4 out-of-state trade shows per year , which require travel and being away from home for several days at a time (travel logistics will be handled later in the process).
To apply, please submit:
A resume
A short note or cover letter explaining why you want this role and why you’d be great at it
If you’re reading this and thinking, “I could crush this — I just need the opportunity,” — we want to hear from you.
We don't expect you to be perfect — we expect you to show up, work hard, and grow.
