Yodle.com is a Bessemer ventures funded company in the midst of a major national rollout that will grow our client base from 300 to 1,000.

Yodle.com has developed an integrated approach to signing up and serving local businesses that are transitioning their marketing budgets online. We provide local businesses with a simple way to cost-effectively acquire more customers by advertising on the major search engines including: Google, Yahoo, AOL, Ask, and MSN.

Candidate:
The ideal candidate is a highly motivated salesperson with a minimum of three years experience making outbound calls and holding face to face meetings with small and medium businesses (SMB).
You have excellent sales fundamentals and love to battle the competition.
You are willing to do a lot of prospecting and cold calling and you know the right questions to ask, where to dedicate your time and when to cut your losses.
You bring leadership through your experience and work ethic, you are able to motivate others, are self-motivated, and you never settle for mediocrity.
People are attracted by your style and charisma and sales come naturally to you as you build relationships quickly.
You are well organized, independent, resourceful, and diligent in maintaining CRM data.
In addition you understand the importance of servicing your current accounts.
The most successful candidate has experience selling services to Small and Medium Businesses such as doctors, lawyers, contractors, or professionals. You may have sold Yellow Page subscriptions, Pharmaceuticals or Online Marketing and a network in the city you currently live in is a plus. You have over 3 years of sales experience, and you are ready to propel your career both in terms of growth and financial upside. You are stuck with limited upward mobility, want increased responsibility and your entrepreneurial nature drives you towards a startup environment. You are looking to be an early member of a world class organization.
