Front Desk Sales Associate

Pay: $18.50–$23+/hour depending on experience
Hours: Approximately 10 hours/week to start
Availability required: Must be available for some weeknight and weekend shifts
Perk: Unlimited yoga membership

Honey Yoga is looking for a warm, confident, outgoing person to join our front desk team.

First things first: this is a sales role.

Yes, you’ll check people into class. Yes, you’ll help keep the studio clean, organized, and running smoothly. But the heart of this job is connecting with people — starting conversations, learning what they need, making recommendations, following up, and helping them take the next step with Honey Yoga.

We want to be very clear about that because this role is probably not what you picture when you hear “front desk at a yoga studio.”

You might be a great fit if you:

• Genuinely enjoy talking to people and feel comfortable approaching someone you don’t know.

• Are warm and welcoming, but also confident and direct.

• Are willing to ask questions, make recommendations, and have sales conversations — even when doing so pushes you a little outside your comfort zone.

• Can hear “no” without taking it personally or becoming hesitant to ask again.

• Learn quickly, pay close attention to details, and are good at following clear processes.

• Notice what needs to be done and take initiative rather than waiting to be asked.

• Are excited to learn new skills and receive coaching.

• Care about creating an excellent experience for every person who walks through the door.

• Are reliable and able to commit to regular weeknight and weekend availability.

You do not need to come in as an experienced salesperson.

We care much more about your energy, courage, curiosity, and willingness to learn.

If you're naturally outgoing, coachable, and willing to practice skills that may feel new at first, you can thrive here. We provide ongoing training and weekly opportunities to practice and sharpen your sales skills.

What the role includes

You’ll be responsible for welcoming students, checking people into class, answering questions, talking with prospective and current members about memberships and offers, following up with leads, completing front desk systems and checklists, and helping the studio stay clean, stocked, organized, and ready for our community.

There is real operational work involved. Cleaning, resetting spaces, tidying props, and taking care of the physical studio are part of the job — not someone else’s job that happens around you.

Our expectations and systems are clearly laid out. We’re looking for someone who can learn them, follow through consistently, and pay attention to the small details that keep a busy studio running well.

What you'll learn

This is a great role for someone who is interested in sales, hospitality, wellness, small business, or what actually goes into running a successful yoga studio.

You’ll get hands-on experience with:

• Sales and relationship-building

• Customer experience and retention

• Studio operations

• Memberships and lead follow-up

• Communication and problem-solving

• The behind-the-scenes workings of a growing wellness business

There is also meaningful room to grow.

Many people who have started on our front desk team have gone on to managerial or other behind-the-scenes roles within the studio. If you have additional interests or skills — social media, marketing, operations, community-building, or something else — we love working with people who are excited to contribute and develop over time.

A quick gut check

This role will probably not be a fit if you’re looking for a quiet desk job, feel very uncomfortable initiating conversations with strangers, strongly dislike sales, aren’t available for some weeknights and weekends, or don’t want cleaning and studio upkeep to be part of your responsibilities.

But if you’re someone who thinks:

“I love people. I’m willing to be brave. I learn fast. Give me clear expectations and teach me how to get better.”

We’d really like to meet you.

Honey Yoga is a community built around connection, consistency, and care. We’re looking for someone who can bring those same qualities to the front desk — with enough confidence to help our business grow, too.
