What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Business Development Representative (BDR) position at Perfect Venue?
About Us
Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant and event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants and venues an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc).
About The Role
As a Founding Business Development Representative (BDR) at Perfect Venue, you will play a key role in driving outbound sales by leveraging your expertise in prospecting to drive leads for our sales team.
We’re looking for a self-motivated entrepreneurial individual who is excited to be in a fast-paced startup environment. Experience in hospitality tech sales is definitely a plus!
This is a hybrid role, 4 days/week in our San Francisco office.
Responsibilities
