Assist the Business Development Representative with client communication and follow-ups
Build and update tickets for outbound or prospect-driven opportunities
Help maintain organized records and ensure smooth handoffs from business development to sales
Support outreach initiatives with timely admin and system updates

Be a Trusted Event Partner

Ask the right questions to understand event vision, logistics, and timelines
Recommend rental solutions that balance style, function, and budget
Set clear expectations so clients feel confident every step of the way

Collaborate Like a Pro

Work closely with Operations, Warehouse, Accounting, and the BDR to ensure seamless execution
Communicate order updates, changes, and special requirements clearly
Jump in to support teammates during peak seasons (events are a team sport)

Stay Organized & Data-Driven

Maintain accurate customer, contract, and order records in our rental software
Track pipeline activity, follow-ups, and assigned opportunities
Assist with sales reporting and forecasting as needed

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You…

Enjoy building relationships and communicating clearly
Are organized, detail-oriented, and love a good checklist
Can balance independent work with team collaboration
Thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Take pride in helping deals move forward smoothly

Experience

1–3 years of sales, inside sales, or customer-facing experience preferred
Event, hospitality, or rentals experience is a plus (but not required)
Experience with CRM or rental software is helpful — training provided

Why Whim?

A collaborative, upbeat team that celebrates wins together
Clear goals, strong support, and meaningful growth opportunities
Competitive compensation with commission or bonus potential
Exposure to a wide variety of events — no two days are the same

Growth at Whim

We believe in growing from within. Inside Sales Associates at Whim have opportunities to advance into Senior Sales, Account Management, Business Development, or Leadership roles based on performance and interest.

The Whim Way

We believe details matter — and so do people. If you’re dependable, friendly, and excited to help create unforgettable events while building your career, we’d love to meet you.
