About Comfy Cubs
Comfy Cubs is a baby and nursery brand dedicated to making parents’ lives easier with high-quality, affordable, and beautifully designed products. Our assortment includes baby essentials, furniture, and toys sold across multiple global marketplaces. We value motivated, organized team players who thrive in a fast-paced, growing environment and enjoy taking ownership of their work.
We send trained sales reps to B2B conferences on behalf of our clients. You learn the product, fly to the conference, work the floor, and book meetings directly on the client's calendar. Their team stays on quota. You get paid, travel, and real sales experience.
This is not booth staffing. Not event promo. Not badge scanning. You'll be walking the floor having real conversations with VPs, CROs, and founders — qualifying, pitching, handling objections, and booking follow-ups.
How it works:
You choose which conferences to work. We cover all travel — flights, hotel, meals, badge. You show up, sell, and submit a report. That's it.
Compensation:
→ $250 per conference (base)
→ $75 per qualified meeting booked
→ All travel covered
→ A 2-day conference with 10 meetings = $1,000 + a free trip
What you'll actually do:
→ Attend B2B conferences in major US cities on behalf of StandInn clients
→ Approach target attendees, start conversations, qualify prospects
→ Pitch the client's product in 3-5 minute floor conversations
→ Book meetings on the client's sales team calendar in real time
→ Log every conversation and submit a post-event report within 24 hours
Who this is for:
→ Sales professionals (SDR, BDR, AE, or quota-carrying experience)
→ Recent grads with sales coursework, internships, or customer-facing experience
→ Anyone comfortable walking up to a stranger at a conference and starting a real conversation
→ Organized enough to log notes in real time and write a clean report
→ US-based and able to travel
Before your first conference:
You'll complete our 2-week StandInn Conference Sales Certification — a professional credential covering conference selling methodology, conversation frameworks, and objection handling. About 1 hour/day, mix of live sessions and self-paced.
What this is NOT:
→ Not full-time (1099, no benefits, no guaranteed hours — you pick your assignments) → Not event staffing or brand ambassador work
→ Not easy (20-30+ conversations/day, fast pace, requires resilience)
Remote working/work at home options are available for this role.
