Sales Manager

We are Hiring - Sales Manager\n
\nCompany: TypeHero.ai (by Neural Banana LLC)\n
\nRemote (HQ in Eden Prairie, Minnesota)\n
\n
\nAbout TypeHero\n
\nTypeHero is a Travel Visibility Engine for independent and mid-market travel businesses. We help boutique hotel groups, regional tour operators, and DMCs get found across Google, the OTAs, metasearch, and the new AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot) — and we turn that visibility into direct bookings and less dependence on OTA commissions. Our line to customers: “Get greater revenue from higher visibility.”\n
\n
\nThe Role\n
\nThis is the first dedicated sales hire at TypeHero. You will personally close our earliest paying customers, then build the repeatable motion the company scales on. It is hands-on and build-from-zero: convert list of contacts, no existing playbook, and no team beneath you on day one. Over time, as revenue grows, this seat leads and hires the sales team.\n
\nIt suits someone who can sell, structure a pipeline, and codify what works, not only manage people.\n
\n
\nResponsibilities\n
\n1 - Close the first customers\n
\n• Run the full cycle end to end: prospect, qualify, demo, negotiate, and close.\n
\n• Convert warm travel-industry contacts (including introductions from advisors and events such as ITB Berlin and GBTA) into paying accounts.\n
\n2 - Build the sales system\n
\n• Turn what works into a repeatable playbook by segment — hotels, tour operators, DMCs.\n
\n• Keep a disciplined, accurate pipeline in the CRM; report honestly on stage, forecast, and conversion.\n
\n3 - Partnerships and channels\n
\n• Open scalable routes to market: host networks, agency and DMC relationships, and travel-tech platforms.\n
\n• Test channel-partner and reseller angles (e.g. alliances and franchise HQs) alongside direct selling.\n
\n4 - Close the loop with product and success\n
\n• Hand off closed customers cleanly and help ensure they reach measurable ROI — the source of renewals, expansion, and case studies.\n
\n
\nWhat We're Looking For\n
\nBackground\n
\n• Proven experience selling technology into hotels and hospitality businesses.\n
\n• Sold technology or marketing services into travel businesses — hotels, tour operators, or travel advisors — or has closed comparable SMB / vertical-SaaS deals and can learn the space fast.\n
\n• Understands marketing as a revenue driver (SEO / content, acquisition funnels, conversion) well enough to sell the value credibly.\n
\nMindset\n
\n• Both a closer and a systems-builder — happy to do the reps and to write the playbook.\n
\n• Motivated by upside and by building something, not by a large guaranteed salary on day one.\n
\n
\nCompensation\n
\nThis is a founding-stage seat, so the package leans toward performance and ownership:\n
\n• Base: a modest cash salary from day one.\n
\n• Commission: performance-based on closed revenue — the more you sell, the more you earn.\n
\n• Equity: meaningful early ownership, so you share in the upside you help create.\n
