Yelp was created to connect people with great local businesses. As an Inside Sales Representative (ISR), you’ll be working directly with these local businesses to help them achieve their goals through Yelp’s various advertising programs. You’ll work with small business owners via phone to determine their needs and aspirations and customize every sale to help make those happen. We succeed when we help our clients grow their businesses.

Because people are at the center of everything we do, one of your main priorities is to educate business owners about the value of Yelp’s advertising platform. In this role, you will be directly responsible for selling advertising space on Yelp to local businesses across the US and Canada. Success in this role is measured by hitting and exceeding monthly sales goals, consistently staying ahead of daily metrics, and handling rejection in stride. You’ll experience all of this in a supportive virtual team environment with the added flexibility of a remote workspace.

Because of the above, candidates in the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Phoenix area are not eligible.
