About this role

OhMyFood is building a marketplace connecting passionate home chefs with customers looking for fresh, authentic home-cooked food.

Your primary responsibility will be to contact potential home chefs, explain the OhMyFood opportunity, overcome objections, follow up consistently and convert qualified leads into successfully onboarded and active chefs. You'll manage leads through our sales platform, handle outbound calls and WhatsApp conversations, identify new sales opportunities and work towards clear weekly and monthly acquisition targets. We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys speaking with people, knows how to build trust, takes ownership of their work and consistently follows through without needing constant reminders. This is a hands-on, target-driven role where success is measured by **actual conversions and activated chefs**, not simply the number of calls made. You'll work closely with the founder and core team, receive structured onboarding and have opportunities to take on greater responsibility as OhMyFood grows.

Key responsibilities

  • Manage, qualify and convert inbound and outbound sales leads through OhMyFood's CRM and sales platform.
  • Contact potential home chefs through outbound phone calls, WhatsApp, email and other approved communication channels.
  • Clearly communicate OhMyFood's value proposition and explain how home chefs can earn additional income through the platform.
  • Build trust with prospective chefs, understand their needs, handle objections and persuade suitable candidates to join.
  • Own the complete chef acquisition process from initial contact to registration, verification, menu setup and activation.
  • Consistently achieve agreed daily, weekly and monthly sales activity and chef acquisition targets.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records, including lead status, call outcomes, conversation notes, follow-up dates and next actions.
  • Proactively follow up with interested leads and ensure no qualified opportunity is forgotten or left unattended.
  • Identify and research new potential home chefs through social media, online communities, referrals and other relevant sources.
  • Develop and improve sales pitches, objection-handling approaches and follow-up strategies to increase conversion rates.
  • Work closely with marketing and operations teams to improve lead quality and resolve onboarding challenges.
  • Monitor sales funnel performance, including contact rates, qualified leads, applications, verified chefs and activated chefs.
  • Provide daily activity updates and weekly performance reports, including targets achieved, conversion rates, challenges and next steps.
  • Collect feedback from prospective chefs and suggest improvements to OhMyFood's onboarding experience and sales processes.
  • Take independent ownership of assigned targets, proactively identify problems and recommend solutions without requiring constant supervision.
  • Represent OhMyFood professionally, communicate honestly and avoid misleading income claims or high-pressure sales tactics.

Qualifications

  • Ideal candidate would be atleast 1 year of hands-on experience in outbound sales, telesales, business development, lead conversion or customer acquisition.
  • Proven track record of achieving or exceeding measurable sales, lead conversion or customer acquisition targets.
  • Strong persuasive communication, relationship-building, negotiation and objection-handling skills.
  • Experience making outbound sales calls, conducting follow-ups and converting prospective customers or business partners.
  • Ability to confidently explain a product or business opportunity, communicate its value and persuade prospects without misleading or pressuring them.
  • Hands-on experience using CRM or lead management systems to track sales pipelines, interactions, follow-ups and conversions.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage assigned leads and consistently follow up without supervision.
  • Strong understanding of sales funnels, lead qualification, conversion rates and target-based performance metrics.
  • Ability to research and generate new leads through online communities, social media, referrals and other outreach channels.
  • Comfortable communicating with UK customers and business prospects through phone calls, WhatsApp and email.
  • Strong English communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to build trust and explain information clearly.
  • Experience handling objections, rejections, difficult conversations and hesitant prospects while maintaining professionalism.
  • Highly organised, disciplined, proactive and accountable, with strong time management and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup environment and consistently deliver agreed results.
  • Willingness to learn new sales techniques, adapt to feedback and continuously improve personal performance.
  • Ability to demonstrate past sales achievements using actual numbers, including call volumes, leads handled, conversion rates and targets achieved.
  • Experience in food, hospitality, marketplaces, consumer services or startup sales is advantageous but not mandatory.
  • Experience using HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive or similar sales tools is desirable.
  • A degree is not mandatory. Practical sales ability, integrity, commitment and measurable results are more important.
