Hello Future ResQer!

ResQ is looking for our first Sales hire to launch and lead a brand new vertical focused on SMB Commercial Trades. This is a rare opportunity to take a promising product from early concept to market fit, shape the future of ResQ's expansion beyond restaurants, and help us build something that could redefine how trades businesses grow and operate.

As our Founding Account Executive, you'll be responsible for executing our go-to-market strategy, creating meaningful partnerships with top local and regional trades vendors, and driving new revenue for the business.

You'll be joining a high-impact team that fuels much of ResQ's growth, and your work will directly influence how we evolve our product, pricing, and positioning in this new market.

We understand that joining a team is one of the most important choices you'll make and adding a team member is one of the most important choices we'll make. We want you to get to know us, and we want to understand how you approach problems, learn, and what motivates you.

Are you nodding your head with excitement at the idea of:

• Being the first Sales rep to sell into the trades vertical
• Taking a half-baked product and identifying the real value propositions that resonate with trades professionals
• Enjoying conversations with contractors, service business owners, and vendors to uncover pain points and match them to the right solutions
• Thriving in an environment of testing, iterating, failing, winning, and learning — often all in the same week
• Tracking every metric, conversion, and insight because this role is as much about discovery as it is about selling
• Rolling with constant change and helping the team use your feedback to get closer to product-market fit

What you will do:

• Outbound Sales Execution: Drive a predominantly outbound motion — generating leads, qualifying, demoing, onboarding, and closing. You'll thrive if you're metrics-driven, resourceful, and relentless about hitting your targets.
• Calibrate for Market Fit: You'll take the strategy we've outlined and bring it to life. Experiment with creative ways to build trust, overcome objections, and create urgency. We'll look to you to help us understand what works and what doesn't.
• Build Relationships: Be the face of ResQ by developing trusted partnerships with our customers.
• Feed Market Intelligence: Share on-the-ground insights to help our product and strategy evolve quickly. Your feedback loop will directly influence what we build next.

Who you are:

• 3+ years of experience in an outbound sales role within a fast-growth or startup environment
• Experience communicating or selling to commercial trades professionals is a strong asset
• Ability to distill complex or early-stage product features into clear, compelling value propositions
• Data driven mindset: you live in your CRM and track every metric that drives performance Comfortable working in ambiguity, adjusting your approach as we learn and evolve.

Nice to haves:

• Familiarity with sales tools like Salesforce
• Understanding of sales frameworks (e.g., Josh Braun, Challenger, Sales EQ)
• Experience in or selling to the trades industry (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.)
• A track record of successfully launching or selling early-stage products

How you will do it:

• You're a self-starter — you wake up, form a plan, and get going
• You practice Extreme Ownership: you take initiative, experiment, and adapt until you succeed
• You're open to feedback and collaboration; we're all One Team
• You care deeply about creating a best-in-class customer experience
• You use data, curiosity, and grit to uncover what really moves the needle
