Job Description

At Social High Rise , we help restaurant owners spend less time stressing about their online presence — and more time doing what they love: running their restaurant.

We do this by managing their social media (so they don’t have to post every day), responding to their customer reviews (even the spicy ones), and making sure their business info is accurate everywhere people search for them — like Google, Yelp, Facebook, and the apps people use to decide where to eat.

We’ve been doing this since 2012 and work with independently owned restaurants all over the country. Our headquarters is in a 100-year-old ballroom in downtown Chico, CA, and while some of our team works remotely, our sales team works together in person. We're a small, hardworking, people-first team that values kindness, hustle, responsibility, and learning as we go. We take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously — if that sounds like your vibe, you’ll fit right in.

Job Description

We’re hiring part-time Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) to work together as a sales pod — calling restaurant owners, setting appointments, and building the foundation for a future role in full-time sales.

This role is not easy . You’ll be cold calling a lot — and hearing “no” even more. But you’ll also be learning how to sell from the ground up. If you’re self-motivated, tough, and hungry to prove something to yourself or the world, we’ll teach you everything you need to know. We don’t care if you’ve never worked in sales — we care that you want to learn, that you can handle rejection, and that you’ll show up with a great attitude and a willingness to work hard and get better.

This job is built for someone who wants to earn a promotion. It’s a stepping stone to becoming a full-time Sales Executive (closing deals and making more money), and we want to promote from within.

You’ll be working in person at our Chico office, Monday–Thursday from 9 AM–1 PM. That’s 16 hours/week. We’ll coach you hard, cheer you on, and expect you to pull your weight. You’ll also be expected to travel to 3–4 out-of-state trade shows per year , where we exhibit and meet restaurant owners in person.

What you’ll be doing:

• Cold calling restaurant owners and managers using our lead lists

• Following a script (and learning how to make it your own)

• Booking qualified demos for our Sales Executives or CEO

• Making sure every lead has a working phone number and email (no ghost bookings)

• Taking detailed call notes and logging activity in our CRM (we use Close)

• Checking in regularly with your manager for coaching and accountability

• Supporting and learning alongside your SDR teammate

What you’ll gain:

• $16.50/hour + $30 bonus per qualified demo booked (most SDRs earn $60–$120/week in bonus)

• Hands-on sales training, feedback, and support

• Real experience in cold calling, prospecting, objection handling, and booking appointments

• A fast track to promotion if you perform well — most of our best Sales Executives started in this exact role

• A chance to prove yourself in a hard role — and build real skills that actually matter

Qualifications

You must be able to work in-person at our Chico, CA office — this is not a remote role.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a strong desire to learn how to sell

• Is not afraid of hard things — like making dozens of cold calls and hearing “no” all morning

• Is comfortable talking to people they’ve never met

• Can stay energized and positive under pressure

• Is coachable, consistent, and responsible

• Is self-motivated and internally driven to improve

• Wants to be part of a tight-knit team

Bonus points if you:

• Are taking or have taken sales, marketing, or business classes (Chico State or otherwise)

• Have worked in a restaurant or are familiar with the hospitality industry

• Have done outreach work before (phone banking, canvassing, fundraising, etc.)

• Are early in your career and looking to build foundational sales skills

This job is challenging — but that’s the point. We’re looking for people who want a challenge, who want to grow, and who are willing to put in the reps to get there.

Additional Information

This is a part-time, in-person role at our Chico office.

You’ll be working closely with another SDR and a Sales Manager who will train and support you throughout. You’ll also need to be available for 3–4 out-of-state trade shows per year , which require travel and being away from home for several days at a time (all travel expenses are paid by the company).

To apply, please submit:

• A resume

• A short note or cover letter explaining why you want this role and why you’d be great at it

If you’re reading this and thinking, “I could crush this — I just need the opportunity,” — we want to hear from you.
We don't expect you to be perfect — we expect you to show up, work hard, and grow.
