About HomlyHouse

HomlyHouse is a Canadian online marketplace for home décor from independent Canadian sellers. It also lists vetted local home-service professionals. We charge 0% commission to both sellers and service pros. We are a small, early-stage team, so interns work directly with the founders and see the results of their work.

About the Role

You will bring new Canadian sellers and local service professionals onto HomlyHouse. You'll find prospects, reach out, explain how the platform works, and follow up until they sign up or decide it isn't a fit. This is a 3-month, commission-only role. You set your own pace, and what you earn depends on the sign-ups you bring in.

What You'll Do

• Research independent Canadian décor brands, makers and home-service businesses (cleaners, painters, handymen, designers and others).
• Contact prospects by email, phone, LinkedIn and Instagram using approved scripts and templates.
• Explain the platform and the 0% commission model clearly and honestly.
• Book intro calls for the founders when a prospect wants more detail.
• Help new sign-ups complete onboarding.
• Track leads, conversations and follow-ups in our CRM or tracking sheet.
• Send a short weekly update on outreach, replies and sign-ups.
• Pass on what you hear from prospects (objections, questions, requests) so we can improve our pitch.

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a college or university program (business, marketing or commerce preferred, but not required).
• Clear written and spoken English.
• Comfortable contacting people you don't know and handling "no" politely.
• Self-motivated and organized, since you manage your own time.
• Comfortable with Google Workspace or Excel.
• Legally eligible to work in Canada.
• Based in the Greater Toronto Area and able to attend occasional in-person meetings.

Nice to Have

• Sales, customer service or retail experience, including volunteer or campus roles.
• Interest in home décor, small business or e-commerce.
• Experience reaching out through LinkedIn or Instagram.
• Additional languages (Hindi, Punjabi,French and others help with local outreach).

Compensation

• Commission-only, to be discussed. Pay is a commission on each seller or service pro you sign up. We will agree on the rate, what counts as a qualified sign-up, and when payouts happen before you start.
• There is no base pay or salary.
• Strong performers may be considered for an extended or paid role after the 3 months.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience in B2B sales, lead generation and marketplace growth.
• Direct mentorship from the founders.
• A reference letter on successful completion.
• A progress check-in at the 60-day mark.
