Role Description Du liebst den Vertrieb, bist abschlussstark und hast ein Auge für gutes Webdesign? Du möchtest arbeiten, wann und wo du willst, und dabei direkt vom eigenen Erfolg profitieren? Dann bist du bei uns genau richtig! Wir helfen Unternehmen dabei, online endlich sichtbar zu werden und neue Kunden zu gewinnen. Mit unserem hauseigenen, spezialisierten Tool identifizieren wir blitzschnell Webseiten, die Performance-Probleme haben. Deine Aufgabe ist es, diese Potenziale zu nutzen und die Inhaber von einer modernen Lösung zu überzeugen. - Gezielte B2B-Kaltakquise: Du kontaktierst potenzielle Kunden telefonisch. - Smarte Lead-Generierung: Unser Performance-Tool liefert dir die perfekte Steilvorlage – du musst die Schwachstellen der fremden Webseiten nur noch clever ansprechen. - Nutzen argumentieren: Du erklärst den Kunden charmant und kompetent, warum eine moderne Webseite (inkl. Google-Optimierung und Conversion-Stärke) ihr Geschäft ankurbelt. - Deals abschließen: Du begleitest den Prozess bis zum erfolgreichen Projektauftrag. Qualifications - Vertriebs-DNA: Du hast keine Angst vor dem Hörer und die telefonische Kaltakquise spornt dich an. - Auge fürs Web: Du erkennst sofort den Unterschied zwischen einer veralteten Homepage und einer modernen, schnellen Webseite. - Verständnis für Digitales: Begriffe wie Google-Optimierung (SEO), Ladezeit und Neukundengewinnung über das Internet sind für dich keine Fremdwörter. - Selbstorganisation: Du arbeitest diszipliniert, zielorientiert und eigenverantwortlich im Homeoffice. - Sprachkenntnisse: Fließende Deutschkenntnisse in Wort und Schrift. Benefits - Attraktive Provisionsbasis: Deine Leistung bestimmt dein Gehalt. Bei uns gibt es keine Deckelung nach oben! - Überdurchschnittliche Verdienstmöglichkeiten: Ein einziger erfolgreicher Abschluss kann dir bereits eine attraktive Provision einbringen (je nach Auftragsvolumen weit über 1.000 € möglich). - 100% Flexibilität & Remote: Arbeite komplett von dort, wo du dich am wohlsten fühlst – egal ob Couch, Coworking-Space oder Café. - Perfekte Tools: Wir stellen dir die Software, die dir die Akquise extrem erleichtert und qualifizierte Leads auf dem Silbertablett serviert. - Kurze Entscheidungswege: Wir halten dir den Rücken frei, damit du dich voll auf den Verkauf konzentrieren kannst.
