Salonkee is the market leader for salon management software across Luxembourg, Belgium, and Switzerland, serving over 10,000 beauty and wellness businesses in seven countries. The platform provides end-to-end solutions including appointment booking, customer management, point-of-sale, marketing, and AI-powered features—delivering an average of 70% fewer no-shows and 8–12 hours of reduced administrative work per week for salons. You will build and develop a field sales team in your region, starting either as the first team member or expanding an existing small team. This is a hands-on leadership role combining direct sales responsibility with team development. In the ramp-up phase, you will personally acquire new customers against a clearly defined quota, ensuring you understand the market firsthand. You will accompany your team to client meetings, support prospecting efforts, and deliver live product demos. Key responsibilities include coaching and developing team members through structured onboarding, shadowing, and role-play exercises—not just through monitoring and control. You will lead by example, manage the team's weekly rhythm, conduct regular 1:1s, and resolve obstacles quickly. You will drive data-informed decision-making using KPIs and pipeline metrics, maintaining visibility into each team member's performance and taking early corrective action. You will also organize the CRM workflow, contribute to regional strategy development, and participate in optimizing sales processes company-wide. Salonkee offers a structured management onboarding program (Sales Manager Academy) to support your transition into leadership, especially if this is your first team. You will have genuine autonomy in hiring decisions and team operations, with clear KPIs and performance transparency. Compensation includes an attractive base salary plus uncapped commission tied to both team and individual performance. Additional benefits include a company vehicle with fuel card, MacBook and iPhone, €50 monthly tax-free allowance via Probonio, and regular team events. REQUIREMENTS: - Minimum 3 years of sales experience, with demonstrated field sales (outside sales) background and personal closing responsibility - Proven track record in new customer acquisition with quantifiable results and clear metrics demonstrating success - Leadership experience is a plus but not required; more important are demonstrated capabilities in team development, mentoring, onboarding, or project leadership - Data affinity: comfortable working with KPIs, pipeline management, and forecasting to drive decisions - Proficiency with digital sales tools and CRM systems - Independent, structured work style with ability to plan regional activities and set clear priorities - Native or fluent German; good English proficiency - Valid Class B driver's license and willingness to travel regularly within your region
