Quirky Foodie Sales Manager Wanted

A love letter from your future

Dear Sales Manager,

Does the word "sales" make you cringe? Me too, and yet I have loved this job for over 10 years. Let me explain.

Avital Experiences isn’t like other companies, and Avital (the human,) isn’t like other company owners or “bosses.” Yes, we have sales goals, 'cause this is a business after all, but we try to hit them by being awesome humans that #BuildAwesomeExperiences. If we're not hitting them, we #BreatheCuriosity and figure out why, together. #CreateCommunity

Okay - what's with the hashtags? Those are some of our Core Values, which I know you will love to quote as much as we do, because around here we #EmbraceQuirky – we really live by our core values.

When we first met you, we knew right away you were cut from the same cloth. That adventurous curiosity, love of learning, and desire to work smart so you can feed your life passions at the same time - it all lined up with our company culture and mission.

The Avital mission is to deepen human connection through interactive food & drink experiences, so of course you’re stoked for this job - you love food and cocktails, you love working with people, and you shine at finding the perfect experience to wow those guests. You’re solid and dependable, detail oriented, smart as a whip, and never back down from a challenge.

You've got the people-skills, creativity, critical thinking chops, and soft-spot for data we were looking for… and you LOVE what we do! You GET IT.

Sincerely,

Your Predecessor, Corinne

The Sales Manager is the primary client-facing sales person engaging with our virtual and in-person clients. You respond to inbound inquiries as well as manage and nurture our client database and drive outreach to our qualified contacts, as well as researching and discovering new qualified leads. You connect virtually with clients via video meetings to help them navigate our event options, choose the best fit for their need, and get them booked into our schedule and handed off to our operations manager for next-steps. Much of the sales process also takes place via email communication and automations. Much of your day-to-day consists of client-facing tasks; you will also be involved in sales tracking and analytics, reporting on trends to help inform Marketing and Product teams, and suggesting improvements and experiments for the Sales Process. You report to the company owner, Avital, who supports you in your role with additional resources and sales process accountability. You will participate in various interdepartmental meetings (via video chat) where you’ll represent the sales perspective on issues facing the company, and will advocate for your point of view.
