About this role
Who We AreZefir is building an AI autopilot for home sales in Europe, starting in France: an AI agent runs the entire sale and purchase journey end-to-end, orchestrating local brokers, portals, buyers, and documents.
Backed by over $55 million from top-tier investors like Sequoia Capital, we're committed to accelerating life changes for millions of current and future European homeowners.The roleAs a Business Development Representative (BDR), you are the first commercial point of contact with our prospects.
You join Zefir's Sales team and reach out to homeowners who have run a valuation on our website but have not booked an appointment yet.The core of the role is reactivation: these homeowners showed interest, then stopped there. You are the one who gets them moving again, on the phone, one by one.Your goal as a BDR: create the sales opportunities that feed our revenue directly.
What you will doHandle around 100 calls per day, with a target of 3 to 4 meetings booked daily.Run qualification calls of about 20 minutes: understand the client's project, present Zefir's value proposition, and book a follow-up meeting with an Account Executive.Keep rigorous track of your pipeline and move leads through the Sales funnel.Work closely with Account Executives to maximize conversion and contribute directly to Zefir's growth.Career pathWe are transparent on this.
A BDR role can open the door to an Account Executive role internally, but there is no automatic progression and no guaranteed timeline. Any move depends on three things: performance, behavioral fit, and team needs.
What we can commit to: our Consumer Account Executives, the role a BDR grows into, and our Sales Managers are filled exclusively through internal mobility. We never open these roles externally. Top performers are rewarded, with uncapped variable pay and real visibility.Who we are looking for0 to 2 years of experience.
