Job description

Sell to local owners, with the founder beside you

Respondyr helps businesses answer Google reviews in their own voice, track their local search visibility, and capture website leads with Webchat. We have paying small-business customers, including operators with two locations, and are hiring one representative to grow our Denver business.

This is an outbound prospecting role. You will generate opportunities by walking into Denver-area businesses and cold calling owners and decision-makers, then follow through to demos and paying customers. Expect to initiate contact with people who have not asked to hear from Respondyr, using both your own prospecting and company-provided leads.

Travis, the founder, will help you learn the product and demonstrate how he sells it. You bring the willingness to approach owners, listen, handle objections, and follow through.

How you will spend your time

• 45% canvassing. Visit Denver-area businesses in person, introduce Respondyr, identify decision-makers, ask useful questions, and earn a next conversation or demo.
• 45% cold calling. Call prospective businesses, reach owners and managers, explain the value briefly, handle objections professionally, and book qualified next steps. Follow up on the opportunities you create.
• 10% meetings and strategy. Run scheduled customer meetings and demos, check in with the founder, review your pipeline, and improve your targeting and approach.

This is the expected mix across a typical working week; individual days will vary. CRM updates and time reporting are part of the work throughout the week.

Compensation

• Starting pay: $20 per hour, plus commissions. Log time spent on sales work, follow-up, product training, and related administration. Hourly pay does not automatically end when commissions grow.
• Healthy recurring commissions for the first year. Earn commission on eligible subscription revenue actually collected for each attributed location’s first 12 months, paid monthly.
• Reduced residual commissions afterward. Continue earning for the life of the account, subject to the eligibility and terms of the written commission agreement. The same rates apply to self-sourced accounts and company-provided leads.
• Terms explained before you start: commission rates, time reporting, account attribution, payment timing, and departure terms come in the first conversation and the written agreement.

The initial engagement is independent contractor (1099). Contractor compensation does not include employee benefits.

Path to a W-2 offer

Meeting the agreed sales quota and performance standards makes you eligible for a W-2 employment offer. We will document the quota and review period before you start. Any transition requires a separate written offer with its pay, hours, and benefits terms.

• Meet the agreed quota for new paying accounts
• Complete daily workday check-ins and keep accurate time, prospect, and customer records
• Follow through on customer commitments and communicate reliablyRepresent Respondyr professionally and respect requests to stop contact

What you will sell

• Review management: replies in the owner’s voice, approval controls, and tools to request reviews
• Local visibility: map-based rank tracking and profile suggestions, depending on the customer’s plan
• Useful customer feedback: reports on recurring themes, plus flags for reviews that may violate Google’s policies
• Webchat: an AI website assistant that captures visitor details, answers from business-approved knowledge, and alerts the team to follow up, with live staff takeover when needed

What you will do

• Canvass and cold call Denver-area restaurants, shops, home-service businesses, and other local operators
• Speak with owners and managers about how they handle reviews, customer questions, and website leads today
• Give a relevant product demonstration on your laptop or phone
• Follow up consistently and guide interested customers through signup and onboarding
• Keep accurate records and respect every request to stop contacting a prospect

Daily accountability

• Check in with the founder every day you work to report activity, results, next steps, and blockers
• Record every prospect and customer interaction in Respondyr’s CRM the same day, including visits, calls, emails, texts, demos, and follow-ups
• Include the business or contact, outcome, next action, and follow-up date; record requests to stop contact immediately
• Keep accurate time records and log other work, such as training or administration, even on days without customer interactions

Keep your CRM and time records current so the founder can see your activity, follow-ups, and progress. If something is missing or inaccurate, update it promptly so the work is clearly documented.

What you bring

• Ability to travel reliably between businesses in the Denver metro and meet owners in person
• Willingness to spend most of your working time canvassing and cold calling, and confidence starting conversations with owners who have not asked to hear from you
• Experience selling, prospecting, or working directly with customers, with a concrete example of your results
• A reliable laptop and smartphone for demonstrations and follow-up
• Ability to organize your own prospecting and follow-through
