Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Founding Sales person to help expand its successful product-led growth B2B motion into a product-led sales motion. This person will be building the sales process from the ground up and acting as the first dedicated salesperson to transition the company from founder-led sales to a more scalable model.

This role will report to Softr’s CEO, Mariam Hakobyan, and work cross-functionally with our Product, Marketing, and Ops teams.

Tasks

Responsibilities

• Develop and define the sales process: Build the sales process from the ground up, and acting as the first dedicated salesperson to transition the company from founder-led sales to a more scalable model. Take full ownership of the sales cycle, from identifying and prospecting potential customers to closing deals.
• Prospect and qualify leads: Identify potential customers, develop relationships, and qualify leads and manage the sales pipeline through inbound and/or outbound efforts.
• Expand customer accounts: Help customers identify more use cases to use Softr and expand their usage of Softr - growing revenue in the process. Lead the company’s efforts in selling our horizontal products across multiple company segments as well as customer profiles (from SMBs to large organisations).
• Set up systems and processes: Establish or expand on existing foundational sales systems and data tracking, as many may not be in place.
• Collaborate with the founder: Work closely with the founder to refine messaging and strategies based on real-world customer feedback.

Requirements

Required skills and experience

• Resilience and grit: The ability to handle uncertainty, overcome challenges, and remain motivated without a large sales team for support.
• Go-getter: Strong entrepreneurial spirit with the ability to operate in ambiguity and take initiative.
• Adaptability and a willingness to experiment: The capacity to try new approaches and iterate on strategies since the company is still discovering what works.
• Proactive and self-starting: The ability to work with minimal direction and take initiative to drive results.
• Strong selling skills: 3-5+ years of proven track record of direct B2B SaaS selling and achieving results. Experience in the automation and no-code space is a plus.
• Results-oriented: A proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales quotas and driving revenue growth.
• Excellent communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical buyers.
• Customer obsessed: A passion for building long-term relationships with customers and helping them succeed.
• A strong technical foundation: You’re fluent in no-code and automation tools (bonus if you’ve already built in Softr… and if you have, you should share what you've built!)
