Job description

*Remote · Independent contractor (1099) · Built for college students and anyone starting in tech sales* **Represent companies like FreshBooks, Squire and Baton, learn the phone skills AI can't replace, and get paid while you do it, on your own schedule.** At Sellfire, our mission is to help the next generation of sales professionals build great sales careers in a world of AI. This role is where that starts. **What you'll do** - Make live outbound calls for fast-growing B2B tech companies, reaching gatekeepers and decision-makers - Use Sellfire's AI-enabled platform. It handles lead lists, call prep, dialing and coaching insights, so your time goes into real conversations - Book qualified meetings for our customers' sales teams - Get call-by-call feedback and coaching from Logic-Based Selling, our proven calling methodology **Why this beats a typical side job** - **Earn real money.** You're paid for results: Commission for every qualified meeting that you set that the prospect attends. The better you get, the more you make. - **Control your hours.** Work around your classes during US business hours. No shifts and no minimum schedule. - **Choose your accounts.** Pick which customer programs you call for. - **Work with brands that are going places.** You'll call on behalf of fast-growing companies like FreshBooks, Squire, OnRamp Funds, Edge, Pocketflows, Mia and Baton. That's real experience with venture-backed startups and brands hiring managers recognize. - **Build a résumé recruiters notice.** Entry-level SDR roles are among the most common first jobs in tech sales, and they usually ask for experience you can't get in a classroom. You'll graduate with real numbers like dials, connects and meetings booked. - **Train like a pro before you dial.** Learn through short video lessons, test what you know with quizzes, and practice live calls with AI prospects that act like real gatekeepers and decision-makers. **Your first step on the sales career ladder** In tech, the SDR (sales development rep) role is the most common way into sales. Many of today's top account executives, sales leaders and founders started there. A typical path looks like this: - **SDR / BDR.** Open conversations, qualify prospects and book meetings. This is where you start. - **Account Executive.** Run demos, manage deals and close revenue, often after a year or two as an SDR. - **Senior AE, Sales Manager or Sales Leader.** Bigger deals, a team of your own, or a seat in leadership. The hardest part is getting that first SDR job without experience. This role gives you the opportunity to learn and gain experience before you graduate. **Why build a career in sales** - **High earning potential.** Sales pay is tied directly to results, so strong performers can out-earn their peers early in their careers. - **Fast, merit-based growth.** Your numbers speak for themselves, so promotions come from performance, not tenure. - **Skills that transfer anywhere.** Persuasion, listening, resilience and handling objections help in any job, or in starting your own company. - **Demand in every industry.** Every company needs revenue, so good salespeople are needed everywhere. - **A path to leadership and entrepreneurship.** Many founders and executives got their start in sales. - **Skills AI can't easily replace.** As AI takes over routine work, the ability to build trust in a live conversation becomes more valuable. **Who we're looking for** - Current college student or recent grad in Texas - Sales professionals looking to refine their skills and make extra money - Anyone looking to start their sales career - Competitive, coachable, and comfortable hearing "no" - Clear, confident speaker - A quiet place to work, a reliable computer, a headset, and stable internet (you'll pass a short equipment check) **About the contractor role** This is an independent contractor (1099) position, not employment with Sellfire. As a contractor: - You set your own hours during US business hours and decide how much you work - You provide and maintain your own equipment - You choose which customer programs to work on - You're paid 100% commission for results, not hourly, and you're responsible for your own taxes - You don't receive employee benefits such as health insurance or paid time off The only things we require: pass screening and the equipment check, complete certification, and meet our quality standards on every call, including sticking to each customer's approved script. **How it works** 1. Apply (5 minutes) 2. Complete a short screening and equipment check 3. Finish Sellfire training and certification 4. Start calling on your own schedule
