About Bookday

Bookday is an early-stage SaaS helping independent fitness & wellness studios manage bookings, payments, memberships and their day-to-day operations.

I’m the founder and I’m looking for someone to work directly with me on growing Bookday, with a strong focus on outbound sales — especially in the US and other English-speaking markets.

We’re still small and early-stage, so this is a hands‑on startup internship. You’ll have a lot of autonomy, try things, talk to customers, and see directly what works and what doesn’t.

What you’ll actually do

The core of the role is simple: find potential customers, pick up the phone, and start conversations.

You’ll:

• Make a high volume of cold calls to studio owners
• Reach out through email, Instagram and LinkedIn
• Qualify prospects and book demos
• Follow up consistently
• Keep the CRM and pipeline organized
• Test different scripts, messages and approaches
• Share what you’re hearing from the market: objections, competitors, pricing, etc.

This is a sales-heavy role. If you dislike cold calling, this probably isn’t the right internship.

Who I’m looking for

Experience matters less than attitude.

You might be a good fit if you’re:

• Very comfortable talking to people
• Not afraid of making lots of cold calls
• Energetic and persistent
• Resourceful — you figure things out rather than waiting for instructions
• Interested in startups / entrepreneurship
• Comfortable working independently
• Fluent or near-native in English

You don’t need previous SaaS or sales experience.

Internship format

A few important details, especially for international applicants:

• Start: ASAP
• Duration: ideally 6 months
• Commitment: full-time internship — this is not a summer internship or a few hours per week
• Location: fully remote possible;
• Compensation: French statutory internship compensation (around €680/month) if in France
• International applicants: welcome

For a French internship, you’ll generally need to be enrolled in a school/university that can provide an internship agreement (“convention de stage”).

If that isn’t possible and you’re legally able to work as an independent contractor from your country, we can also discuss a contractor setup.
