About Sagepilot

Sagepilot is building AI employees that handle the complete customer lifecycle for consumer brands—from acquisition and conversion to support and retention.

We're not building chatbots. We're building autonomous AI coworkers that integrate with 1000+ business tools, understand brand voice, and deliver human-like experiences across every channel. We are currently serving 250+ brands and scaling globally really fast.

The Role

You'll own the full sales cycle—from finding prospects to closing deals. This means cold outreach, discovery calls, demos, negotiations, and getting customers live.

You're not just generating leads or just closing. You do both. That's what makes this role different from typical BDR or AE positions.

You'll work directly with the founders, get visibility into strategy, and your deals will directly drive company growth. Your input on what you're hearing from the market will shape our product and go-to-market approach.

• Build pipeline through LinkedIn, cold email, events, and referrals
• Target consumer brands ($1M-$50M revenue) across retail, wellness, beauty, travel, healthcare, finance
• Research companies to understand their customer experience challenges
• Qualify leads based on fit, budget, and timeline

Run the sales process

• Conduct discovery calls to understand pain points across acquisition, support, and retention
• Demo the product—show how AI employees work in real scenarios
• Handle objections and explain how we're different from chatbots and traditional tools
• Navigate deals involving multiple stakeholders
• Negotiate pricing and contracts
• Close deals and hand off smoothly to implementation

Build relationships

• Stay close to customers for upsells and referrals
• Gather feedback that informs product development
• Represent Sagepilot at industry events when relevant

Contribute to growth strategy

• Share what's working and what's not in your outreach
