Sales Development Representative (SDR) and Chat Specialist

At Photobooth Supply Co., we believe in the power of capturing moments and creating lasting memories. Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs and event professionals with a proven and profitable business in the form of a photo booth. We’ve transformed the lives of thousands of customers worldwide, and now we’re looking for a driven and proactive Sales Development Representative (SRD) and Chat Specialist to join our team.

In this hybrid role, you’ll be the first point of contact for inbound leads, engaging with potential customers via live chat and email to qualify them for our sales process.

If you thrive on connecting with people, solving problems, and contributing to the success of your team, this role is for you!

As this is a brand-new position at Photobooth Supply Co., we’re seeking someone adaptable and excited to shape the role from the ground up.

However, depending on the impact and outcomes of this new role, we may only require one. If that happens, there may be opportunities to transition into an Inside Sales Representative role based on your skills and performance.
