Pool service owners run crews, routes, customers and billing, often on paper and late at night. Chisel Tide puts all of it in one place: scheduling, routes, invoicing and payments, with AI that handles the routine office work.
Chisel owns and operates pool service companies, and Tide is built alongside them. When you call an owner, you're selling something made by people who run the same kind of business.
We're hiring an SDR to get Tide in front of more pool service owners. You'll call them, learn how they run things, and book meetings with the ones Tide can help. If you've worked at a pool distributor, serviced pools, or run a service office, you already speak the language. No software sales experience needed.
The job
- Call pool service owners. This is a phone job: plan on 100 dials a day.
- Learn how they handle scheduling, routes, billing and customer communication.
- Explain Tide in plain terms and spot the businesses it fits.
- Book qualified meetings and demos, make sure the owner shows up, and hand the sales team clear notes on what they need and the next step.
- Follow up with owners who aren't ready yet.
- Keep the CRM accurate.
- Bring back what you hear from owners so we can sell and build Tide better.
You'll work from a researched, enriched list of target businesses, so your time goes into conversations, not list building.
How we measure it
The right owner shows up, there's a real need, and the next step is clear. At full ramp the target is 10+ qualified meetings a month, and ramp takes 4 weeks. You'll always know the number and how you're tracking against it.
Your first month
Product walkthroughs, demo shadowing and practice calls, then supported outreach. Weekly call reviews with the team in our San Francisco office. By the end of the month you own your account list.
Where it goes
Strong SDRs move into Account Executive roles, typically within 9-12 months. Along the way you'll work with product and onboarding, so you'll understand the whole business, not just the first call.
What you bring
- You pick up the phone and you follow through.
- You're curious about how small businesses actually run.
- You ask good questions and listen to the answers.
- You take feedback and get better fast.
- You're comfortable learning new software.
Experience in pool service, distribution, inside sales or customer service is a real plus.
The interview
You'll explain Tide to a pool service owner who still schedules on paper and sends invoices at night. We'll give you feedback and you'll try again. We're looking at how you communicate, the questions you ask, and how quickly you adjust. Nobody expects you to know Tide yet.
Pay and benefits
- $60,000 base salary.
- $20,000 commission at target, for $80,000 OTE. Uncapped + accelerators above target. You'll get the written plan, including how ramp works, before you accept.
- Health, dental, vision.
- In-office in San Francisco.
Apply
Share your resume and tell us about any pool, sales or customer-facing experience, and something you worked hard to accomplish.

Sales Development Representative Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a sales development representative in California?
California does not require a state-issued license for sales development representatives in most industries. The typical path involves completing a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or communications, then applying to entry-level SDR or BDR roles at California tech, SaaS, or professional services firms. Completing a structured sales bootcamp or earning a recognized sales certification can strengthen early applications and help candidates stand out in California's competitive hiring market.
How much do sales development representatives make in California?
Sales development representatives in California earn a median of about $80,850 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $43,240 for the lowest 10% to over $168,720 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire sales development representatives in California?
Employers hiring sales development representatives in California right now include Rippling, Impact Networking, and Oracle, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's dense concentration of SaaS headquarters, enterprise software companies, and high-growth fintech firms means consistent openings across the state throughout the year.
Which California cities have the most sales development representative jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose have the most sales development representative openings in California. San Francisco and San Jose drive volume through their dense cluster of SaaS and cloud technology headquarters, Los Angeles pulls demand from media tech, fintech, and a broad B2B services sector, and San Diego contributes steadily through its cybersecurity and life sciences software companies.
Are there remote sales development representative jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 62% of sales development representative openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's phone-and-screen nature. Outbound prospecting, email sequencing, and CRM work are the functions most commonly performed fully remotely, while team onboarding and quota reviews often keep hybrid schedules in place.
How can I get hired as a sales development representative in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to SDR associate or BDR programs at California-based SaaS companies, many of which hire recent graduates with no sales background and train them on process and tools. Salesforce, Oracle, and mid-size Bay Area software firms run structured new-grad cohorts that start with inbound lead qualification before moving to outbound. Lateral moves from customer success, retail, or account coordination roles are common and well-regarded. Completing a California sales bootcamp or earning a HubSpot or Salesforce certification gives candidates a concrete edge when competing against others with similar experience levels.
