Sales Specialist · Hybrid, San Francisco Bay Area
Base salary: $80,000–$100,000 · OTE: $150,000–$180,000

📍 Location
This is a hybrid role based in our San Francisco office. You should live in the San Francisco Bay Area and be able to work from the office a few days a week.

🚀 About a1mobile
a1mobile is building the AI-native carrier for businesses.

We're rebuilding the carrier layer, bringing mobile, landline, and AI phone systems together. Every business number should answer, understand, take action, and follow up.

Our first product, a1mobile One, is one business line for $99/month: unlimited calls and texts, 5G data, and an AI receptionist built into the carrier itself. It answers every call and text 24/7, takes bookings and orders, sends quotes and follows up. Our customers are small service businesses: restaurants, cafes, salons, studios, contractors, and hotels.

We recently raised an $11.5M seed round led by General Catalyst, with backing from Menlo Ventures, SV Angel, Commerce Ventures, and other leading investors.

We're looking for a Sales Specialist to turn inbound interest into happy customers. You'll own high-velocity sales conversations with small business owners, understand how they handle calls today, and get them live on a1mobile quickly.

🧭 Experience we're looking for
• 2+ years closing in SMB inbound sales, wireless or telecom sales, or SaaS.

🛠 What you'll do
• Work a high volume of inbound leads and trial users, and close them.
• Run discovery calls to understand how each business handles calls, bookings, and orders today.
• Show how a1mobile One replaces their current phone setup: one line, one bill, answered 24/7.
• Guide customers through activation and number porting, and hand off smoothly to Customer Success.
• Go door to door, visiting restaurants, cafes, salons, studios, and contractors in person and signing them up on an a1mobile number.
• Hit monthly targets and track your pipeline in the CRM.
• Help refine our scripts, objection handling, and sales playbooks.

🎯 What we're looking for
• A proven track record of hitting quota in a high-velocity sales environment.
• Real empathy for small business owners and how busy their days are.
• Comfort with fast sales cycles and many conversations a day.
• Clear, confident communication on the phone and over text.
• Comfort with door-to-door selling: walking into businesses, starting conversations with owners, and closing in person. Reliable transportation is needed.
• A strong sense of ownership and the ability to move work forward without waiting to be told.
• A team player who communicates openly, shares knowledge, and collaborates closely with others.
• The flexibility to adapt and keep pace with a fast-moving startup.

➕ Nice to have
• Experience selling wireless, carrier, or VoIP services.
• Familiarity with restaurants, salons, or home services businesses.
• Fluency in Spanish or another language spoken by local business owners.
