The posting
This isn't just a BDR/SDR job . It’s a long-term seat, and we pay like we mean it. Effectively Remote
We’re a small, close-knit facility services company (Company, NOT a family. Your family is your family.) in the South Bay, and we’re looking for someone who wants to settle in, own the top of our sales funnel, and get paid well for doing it. This isn’t a revolving-door SDR seat where you dial numbers for six months and move on. We want someone who sticks around, and we’ll pay you to stay.
We don’t care if your only experience is in hospitality, retail, or digging ditches. If you’re engaging and persuasive, if you’ve got hustle and you’re coachable, and you can stay disciplined while working from home, we want to talk to you.
Location: Remote, but preferably within 2 hours of San Jose.
What the role actually is
This is a fully remote, high-activity role. Your job is to start conversations and book appointments. You do NOT have to close deals. Our salespeople handle the close. You open the door, they walk through it, and you get paid on both ends (we’ll pay you 10% commission on deals you set appointments for that close).
You won’t be dialing with nothing in your hands, either. We back your outreach with creative drop-offs that we deliver for you. Our favorite is a toy trash can with a crumpled letter in it, designed to spark interest and stimulate a conversation.
What you’ll be doing
- Making phone calls. A lot of them. This is the heart of the job.
- Following up with people diligently. Most appointments happen on the fourth or fifth touch, not the first.
- Using email, phone, and our creative drop-offs together to turn cold accounts into booked meetings.
- Researching the real decision-makers at target accounts and keeping that contact info up to date in HubSpot.
- Logging every call, email, and touch in HubSpot so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Qualifying appointments against a clear scorecard before they go to a salesperson.
The path forward
We’re not tracking you into a closing role. We’re building a high-earning SDR career. Once you’re consistently setting appointments that actually close, you’ll get a large base raise. We’ll lay out exactly what that looks like from day one, so there’s no guessing about where you stand.
Compensation
- Base: $24 an hour, about $50,000 a year
- $100 per qualified appointment set
- 10% of the first month’s revenue on every deal that closes from your appointments
- Uncapped. There’s no ceiling on what you can earn.
- A large base raise once your appointments are consistently closing
Here’s what that can look like
Say you set 12 qualified appointments a month. That’s $1,200 a month, or $14,400 a year, just for booking meetings. Now say 3 of those close each month, at an average contract of $4,000 a month. At 10% of the first month, that’s another $1,200 a month, or $14,400 a year, for deals you didn’t have to close.
That’s roughly $78,800 in year one before your base raise kicks in. Set more meetings, or set better ones, and that number climbs.
What we’re looking for
- Someone who can grind. This is a high-activity job, and the phone is your best friend.
- Self-driven. You’re remote, so nobody is looking over your shoulder. You have to show up for yourself.
- Comfortable with rejection and persistent anyway.
- Organized. If it’s not in HubSpot, it didn’t happen.
- Someone who wants to stay. We’re looking for a long-term teammate, not a résumé line.
What you get from us
- A fully remote role with real support behind it.
- Creative drop-offs and marketing that make your calls easier.
- Uncapped commission on both appointments and closed deals.
- A team that’s small enough that we actually know you and care whether you’re winning.
- A clear, honest path to a big base raise, with the benchmarks laid out up front.
