About Bookday

\n

Bookday is an early-stage SaaS helping independent fitness & wellness studios manage bookings, payments, memberships and their day-to-day operations.

\n

I’m the founder and I’m looking for someone to work directly with me on growing Bookday, with a strong focus on outbound sales — especially in the US and other English-speaking markets.

\n

We’re still small and early-stage, so this is a hands-on startup internship. You’ll have a lot of autonomy, try things, talk to customers, and see directly what works and what doesn’t.

\n

\n

What you’ll actually do

\n

The core of the role is simple: find potential customers, pick up the phone, and start conversations.

\n

\n

You’ll:

\n

\n
• Make a high volume of cold calls to studio owners
\n
• Reach out through email, Instagram and LinkedIn
\n
• Qualify prospects and book demos
\n
• Follow up consistently
\n
• Keep the CRM and pipeline organized
\n
• Test different scripts, messages and approaches
\n
• Share what you’re hearing from the market: objections, competitors, pricing, etc.
\n

\n

\n

This is a sales-heavy role . If you dislike cold calling, this probably isn’t the right internship.

\n

\n

\n

Who I’m looking for

\n

Experience matters less than attitude.

\n

You might be a good fit if you’re:

\n

\n
• Very comfortable talking to people
\n
• Not afraid of making lots of cold calls
\n
• Energetic and persistent
\n
• Resourceful — you figure things out rather than waiting for instructions
\n
• Interested in startups / entrepreneurship
\n
• Comfortable working independently
\n
• Fluent or near-native in English
\n

\n

You don’t need previous SaaS or sales experience.

\n

\n

\n

Internship format

\n

A few important details, especially for international applicants:

\n

\n
• Start: ASAP
\n
• Duration: ideally 6 months
\n
• Commitment: full-time internship — this is not a summer internship or a few hours per week
\n
• Location: fully remote possible;
\n
• Compensation: French statutory internship compensation (around €680/month) if in France
\n
• International applicants: welcome
\n

\n

\n

For a French internship, you’ll generally need to be enrolled in a school/university that can provide an internship agreement (“convention de stage”) .

\n

If that isn’t possible and you’re legally able to work as an independent contractor from your country, we can also discuss a contractor setup.

\n

\n

How to apply

\n

No cover letter needed — actually, please don’t send one :)

\n

Instead, send your CV / LinkedIn + a short voice note in English (2–5 minutes total) or a video . Nothing polished or overprepared — I’d much rather get a feel for who you are and how you naturally communicate.

\n

Tell me:

\n

\n
• A bit about yourself, what you’re doing right now, and what you’re looking for over the next 6 months
\n
• Whether you genuinely see yourself spending a good part of your day cold calling / DMing studio owners , in a very early-stage startup with little structure
\n
• Something you’ve done that you’re proud of — doesn’t have to be professional
\n
• A startup, entrepreneur or product you’ve discovered recently that you find interesting, and why
\n
• When you could start, how long you’re available for, and whether you can commit full-time
\n
• And just confirm that you’ve seen the ~€680/month internship compensation mentioned above and that it works for you
\n

\n

Short, honest and spontaneous answers are perfect.
