THE JOB The Company: Why mute-labs? At mute-labs, we don’t do "VC-driven burnout" or toxic sales floors. We are a self-funded, sustainable team on a mission to bring quiet to the world’s loudest offices. We design and build high-quality acoustic booths that actually make sense for the modern workplace. We don't just sell "booths", we sell focus and office sanity. We are looking for a Full-Cycle BDR for the Benelux market who wants to own the entire journey, from the first "hello" to the final handshake. The Role: Consulting, Not Just Calling You aren't here to read a script. You are here to help companies in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg design better workspaces. * Fresh Inbound Leads: Forget "smiling and dialing" into the void. You’ll be the first point of contact for high-quality leads, people who are already curious about what we do. * Pipeline Architecture: You’ll identify and reach out to key decision-makers (Facility Managers, HR Leads, Founders), building a pipeline based on quality over quantity. * End-to-End Ownership: You’ll identify prospects, lead discovery calls, perform demos, and close the deals. You get the satisfaction of seeing your hard work turn into a physical booth in a client's office. * No "Elbows Out": We don’t work with commission. Why? Because we want you to do what is best for the client and the team, not your bonus check. We offer a competitive, stable base salary because we trust your intrinsic motivation. A Day in the Life We are an office-first culture. We believe the best sales strategies happen over a shared coffee, not a Slack thread. * 09:00 | Morning Vibe: Walk into our high-energy office in Berlin Mitte. Grab a coffee, check the latest leads, and map out your day. * 09:30 | The Action Phase: You’re on the phone or video, consulting fresh leads about their office challenges and booking demos. * 11:00 | Strategy Huddle: A quick catch-up with Lola (Country Manager) or Jarno (Sales Director) to talk about a specific deal or a new market trend you’ve spotted. * 12:30 | The Family Table: We eat together. On Fridays, one team cooks for the entire company. Whether it's pasta, tacos, or a local favorite, we bond over food. * 14:30 | Market Mastery: You lead discovery demos. You’re listening more than talking, identifying the "pain points" of a noisy office. * 18:00 | The Close: Wrap up the CRM, update your pipeline, and head out. We respect your "offline" time. Pulse & Pints Friday Every Friday, we close the week together. * The Pulse: A team huddle to review the numbers, share company updates, and celebrate the people who went the extra mile. * The Pints: We transition into the weekend with drinks (alcoholic or 0.0%) and a sense of collective achievement. Our Hiring Process: Fast & Transparent We know you’re talented, so we won’t keep you waiting. 1. The Spark: A quick screening call with Lia to see if our values align. 2. The Market Fit: A deep dive with Lola (Country Manager) and Jarno (Sales Director) into your sales DNA. 3. The Commercial View: A conversation with Leah (Head of Commercial) about our growth strategy. 4. The Live Action: A "Discovery" roleplay with the team. No homework - just show us how you handle a real client conversation. 5. The Vision: A final interview with our CEO to discuss the big picture and your future here. Is this you? * The Self-Driven Hunter: You don't need a commission check to stay hungry. You take pride in hitting targets and helping the company grow. * The Native Communicator: You are fluent in Dutch (and ideally French) to effectively navigate the Benelux market. * The "Full Cycle" Mindset: You love the thrill of finding a lead and the pride of closing the deal yourself. * The Team Player: You hate working in silos. You want to share your wins and help your teammates with theirs. Are you ready to bring the quiet? If you’re looking for a sales role where you’re treated like a professional, supported by a world-class team, and fueled by a great office culture, we want to meet you. [Apply Now – We’ll get back to you faster than you think!] ABOUT US Here at mute-labs, we aim to enable companies to achieve more by democratizing silence in the workspace. And we’re not like any other Berlin start-up you might know:  * We’re “no tech”: We know how to develop and sell great hardware products with a focus on sound-insulated phone- and meeting booths. * We have no investors and we really don’t want any. We've been profitable since day one. * We continue to have a steep growth curve – not in employees or coffee cups consumed, but in revenue and profit. * We’re not striving for an exit – we’re building a sustainable business for many generations to come. Wondering what it's like to work here? We made a reel about it! Are you as excited about mute-labs as we are? Then we are looking forward to getting to know you!
