Independent Business Development Representative (Commission-Based)
About Craicko
Craicko is a Cork-based startup building a loyalty and referral platform for local businesses. Our model connects accommodation providers — hotels, hostels, B&Bs, and Airbnb hosts — with local businesses: guests scan a QR code at their accommodation to unlock deals nearby, referrals are tracked automatically, and hosts are rewarded for every referral they send.
Craicko has been accepted into UCC's IGNITE Start-Up Incubation Programme, and we're now growing our partner network across Cork. This is a great opportunity to get in early with a startup, gain real business development experience, and potentially grow with the company as it scales.
About the Role
We're looking for a confident, self-driven person to identify, approach, and onboard local businesses and accommodation hosts to the platform.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and approach local businesses and accommodation hosts in Cork
- Confidently introduce and demonstrate the platform, and communicate its value clearly
- Answer questions, address concerns, and follow up with interested prospects
- Guide onboarded businesses/hosts through setup and platform use
- Maintain accurate records of leads, conversations, and outcomes
- Build positive, ongoing relationships with the businesses and hosts you onboard
- Feed back insights and growth ideas to the team
What We're Looking For
- Confident approaching and speaking with new people; comfortable with sales, but not aggressive
- Clear, professional communicator and a good listener
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
- Organised, with good attention to detail for tracking leads and progress
- Comfortable with everyday technology (smartphones, web apps) and able to demo a product confidently
- Resilient — comfortable with rejection and able to keep going
- Prior sales/business development experience is a plus but not essential — training is provided
- Well suited to students or recent graduates looking for flexible, self-directed part-time work
High-performing representatives may have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as Craicko grows.
Salary Details: This is a commission-based role, there is no fixed salary. You are paid per successful onboarding:
- €100 for every qualifying business successfully onboarded
- €25 for every qualifying host (e.g. Airbnb) successfully onboarded
- €50 per agreed training day during initial onboarding/training
