Team Lead Inside Sales

We’re looking for an Inside Sales Manager to build, lead, and scale a high-performing inside sales team from the ground up for a new product we are launching. This team will be responsible for selling our offering to our existing client base - salon owners - helping them unlock new value and opportunities. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, enjoys building processes from scratch, and can balance operational execution with strategic thinking.

Key Responsibilities

• Recruit, train, and develop an inside sales team to drive the adoption of our product among existing customers.

• Set up scalable processes, tools (CRM, reporting, automation), and performance metrics.

• Lead by example - rolling up your sleeves to refine scripts, jump on customer calls, and close deals when needed.

• Monitor sales performance, analyse trends, and optimise team efficiency.

• Work cross-functionally with marketing, product, and customer success to refine the go-to-market approach.

• Define and implement the sales playbook, including messaging, outreach sequences, and objection handling.

• Ensure a consultative sales approach that builds long-term relationships with salon owners.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in inside sales leadership, ideally in a high-growth startup or fast-scaling business.

• A track record of building and scaling an inside sales team.

• Strong leadership skills - the ability to coach, inspire, and get the best out of a team.

• Hands-on & operational - willing to get involved in the day-to-day while also thinking strategically.

• Analytical mindset - comfortable with data, metrics, and optimising processes for efficiency.

• Experience in B2B sales (selling to SMEs or salon owners is a plus).

• Excellent communication skills in English and either German or French - both for internal leadership and external customer engagement.

• Extreme self-starter, a hands-on mentality with a passion for building, and scaling this project to a new revenue driver for Salonkee

What we offer:

• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the company's success

• A permanent contract, providing stability and long-term growth potential

• Flat hierarchies that promote open communication and encourage putting your ideas forward

• An international team with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and countries, fostering a multicultural work environment

• Regular company events to foster team bonding and create opportunities for networking and collaboration

• Enjoy perks such as free coffee, fruit, and lunch vouchers

• Experience an amazing company culture that values teamwork, creativity, and a positive work atmosphere

Join us at Salonkee and become part of a dynamic team where your contributions are valued, and you can thrive both professionally and personally.
