Sales Agent
For our client, a Bachelor Party Agency (junggesellenabschied agentur), we are seeking an ambitious German speaking Sales Agent to help organise and sell awesome weekend trips to the customers.
The Job
As Sales Agent with Pissup Tours, your job will be to call new potential customers who have sent an enquiry to the company via their website and help uncover their wishes for an exciting bachelor party. It is your job to catch the interest of the group and either send them an offer or pass them on to a Senior Account Manager for assistance with tailormaking their event.
The position is work-from-home / fully remote with a good fixed income and a commission on top. We are looking to hire a candidate that can develop with the company into a Senior Account Manager over 1-2 years. You will be physically working together with a Senior Account Manager on a weekly basis, the other days you work from home.
During 3-4 months of high season, the job is quite work-intensive and requires probably 50 hours/week, but in low season it is more relaxed and less than 30 hours/week. Time of work is flexible, but customers generally prefer to speak in the late afternoon / early evenings and less so in the mornings (when you can catch up on emails).
You will be working alongside one of the company’s experienced Account Managers and receive training, coaching and hands-on experience from Day 1. We expect you to be motivated, ready to perform and be a good colleague every day. There is zero cold calling, as all leads are warm, but you are expected to engage with the customers, storytell, inspire and sell them their dream trip. Being able to manage many customers, prioritizing leads and being good on the phone are key skills.
Who is our client?
Pissup Tours is the industry’s best reviewed Bachelor Party company and they have been organizing unforgettable party weekends all over Europe since 2001.

They offer the opportunity to earn well while working professionally with some of the most fun products in the world.
They are a small company, which gives you the opportunity to help shape the future path. It also means they do not have everything sorted already and some problems are being solved on the go. It is important you understand this difference vs working for a big corporation.
Who are we looking for?
A native level German-speaking junior sales agent, with a talent for sales and a passion for party and travel. You must be a sales person at heart and hungry for closing. You are motivated by the challenge of helping the company conquer the market and celebrate your success together. You are professional, have a high work ethic and understand that the job is seasonal with long hours half of the year and time to relax the other half. You understand that while there is a fixed salary, it is through your commission that you earn well.
If you happen to speak French, Scandinavian or British-English, that is a big plus.
As a minimum, you have:
- Some experience within sales on any level

- Proficient business level English
Non-essential experience that would be a plus:
- Experience or education from the tourism or event industry is a plus, but not required
