This is Mini-O’s official Sales Champion opening for San Francisco. If you came from “Sales Closing Machine” on our careers page, you’re in the right place for the San Francisco showroom role. Applying is free.
See what you’ll sell.
Take a look inside our downtown San Francisco demo pod and hear about the role in the 3-minute showroom tour.
A buyer might spend an hour working in the pod, or ask you to bring samples and a tape measure to their yard. You’ll figure out what helps them make a good decision and guide them through site access, installation and delivery questions with our team.
The job
Own the sale from first inquiry through discovery, proposal, negotiation, signed agreement and deposit. Operations takes over for delivery and ongoing customer care. The average order is about $45,000. Buyers typically decide in three to four weeks, and some take six months or longer.
What you’ll do
- Call at least 20 different leads and send at least 10 original, buyer-specific Loom videos each workday. Balance new inquiries, active buyers, dormant leads and appointments.
- Manage 100+ active prospects in Zoho. Keep a clear status and next action for each. Rank your best leads daily and make your reasoning visible to the founders.
- Revisit dormant leads weekly and follow up for at least two months when appropriate. Make the next conversation worth having.
- Report the three leading indicators you think best predict sales. Show the team what you tested and turn effective calls and follow-ups into examples they can use.
The call and video counts are minimums. We expect daily outreach to new and dormant leads to exceed the median for teammates who hit their targets. Flag conflicts between appointments and outreach early.
What you bring
You’ve personally closed high-value sales that took time and advice. You listen well on Zoom and in person, write clear follow-ups, and can manage your own pipeline while working with a remote team. Experience from other industries counts. We’ll teach you the product and the basics of prefab construction.
How the week works
Each workday includes a fixed four-hour block at 172 2nd St, San Francisco, CA 94105. Outside those blocks, you’ll arrange appointments at the showroom or at a buyer’s home or business, alongside calls, proposals and follow-up. Occasionally an early call and late appointment fall on the same day, within the agreed schedule and with meal and rest breaks.
You’ll usually run the showroom on your own. A nearby coworking base is available. You’ll need reliable transportation for Bay Area visits and a practical way to bring samples. Mini-O reimburses necessary business travel expenses.
You’ll report to the interim sales manager and work directly with the founders, alongside three full-time salespeople and a sales enablement specialist. Expect one or two manager check-ins a week and one or two pipeline reviews a month.
What you can build here
Sell to homeowners, business owners and corporate teams. You’ll decide who to call, when to visit and what to test within our pricing and operating guidelines. Bring an actual call or proposal to the founders when you see something we could improve. What works in San Francisco can shape how we sell elsewhere, and strong results can lead to broader commercial or sales leadership responsibilities.
Your first 90 days
Start running discovery calls and inviting buyers into the showroom in your first two weeks. Work through the product videos, documents and tools independently, with the founders, sales enablement and operations available for feedback.
- Month oneClose at least one pod and complete 70% of onboarding.
- Month twoClose at least two pods and finish onboarding.
- Month three onwardClose at least four pods per month. Seven or more is strong performance.
We review results and execution at 30, 60 and 90 days and as issues arise. Employment is at will. Missing agreed sales, activity, follow-through or quality standards can result in termination before a scheduled review. Mini-O respects protected leave and provides legally required accommodations.
Two pay plans
Choose a higher commission or a higher base. Both plans are W-2 and non-exempt, with uncapped commissions. Bonuses stack when you hit both milestones in the same month. The count resets each month.
Plan A · Higher commission
$20/hour + $1,500/pod
About $3,467 in monthly base pay averaged over 40-hour weeks. Earn a $3,000 bonus at six pods in a month and another $3,000 at nine. A higher applicable local minimum wage replaces the $20 rate where required.
Plan B · Higher base
$5,000/month + $500/pod
$5,000 in monthly base pay for a standard 40-hour week. Earn a $1,000 bonus at six pods in a month and another $1,000 at nine.
Illustrative monthly pay before tax
| Pods sold | Plan A | Plan B |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | $9,467 | $7,000 |
| 6 | $15,467 | $9,000 |
| 8 | $18,467 | $10,000 |
| 9 | $22,967 | $11,500 |
| 10 | $24,467 | $12,000 |
Examples assume 40 hours × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months and exclude overtime or a higher applicable local wage. Actual pay depends on hours and sales. At nine pods on Plan A, the example is about $3,467 base, $13,500 commission and $6,000 in bonuses.
Pay timing, overtime and paid leave
Base pay is earned independently of sales and paid at least twice monthly. Record all working time, including training and compensable travel. Rest breaks are paid. Ask in advance when overtime is needed. Mini-O pays all overtime worked, with commissions and nondiscretionary bonuses included as required. You’ll receive the written commission and bonus terms before starting, including when sales are credited and when you’re paid. Earned compensation remains payable when employment ends.
Three weeks of annual vacation, available after six months, plus applicable paid sick leave.
