Sales Traineeship (FR/ITA)
AI Summary
A sales trainee who actively acquires new customers in Romandie and Ticino by handling inbound and outbound leads, advising on e-bikes and financing, and guiding customers from first contact to delivery.
About this role
At MyBikePlan, we bring premium (e-)bikes to the people — no big hurdles, thanks to our 0% financing model. We believe a dream bike shouldn't be a luxury project; it should be accessible to everyone.
As a Sales Trainee (FR/ITA), you'll get hands-on experience in sales from day one — no theory-only program here. Working on-site from our office in Zurich, you'll reach out to potential customers over 6 to 12 months, get them excited about our bikes, and guide them from first contact all the way to delivery. If it's a match on both sides, there's a real path to a fixed position afterward.
In short: you love selling (or want to learn how), you're fluent in French and Italian, comfortable in English (our corporate language) — and you're ready to kick-start your sales career with us, based right here in Zurich.

Requirements
Must-haves:
- Fluent in French and Italian
- Good English (our corporate language) — German is not required
- Based in Switzerland with a valid work permit
- Willing to work on-site in Zurich (home office possible on select days after onboarding, but this is not a remote role)

- Genuine interest in sales and new customer acquisition

Also very welcome — no sales background needed:

- You're just starting out, but you've got the drive — mindset beats CV
Nice-to-haves:
- Real knowledge of (e-)bikes, cycling, or the mobility world — a big plus. Whether you ride seriously, worked in a bike shop, or you're just deep into the scene, this helps you build instant credibility with customers.
