Maison Italic: High-ticket sales for luxury Italian furniture.

Maison Italic is a premier interior architecture and procurement house that brings the world-renowned "Made in Italy" excellence to high-end residential and commercial projects. With a portfolio of over 500 elite Italian manufacturers, we provide turnkey solutions for discerning clients who demand the highest standards of design and craftsmanship. We are seeking a seasoned Outbound Sales Professional to act as our brand ambassador. Your mission is to initiate relationships with high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), property developers, and commercial architects to introduce our bespoke design and procurement services. Key Responsibilities Strategic Outbound Prospecting: Conduct cold calls to a curated list of potential clients and partners to introduce Maison Italic’s value proposition. Lead Qualification: Identify the specific needs of prospects, ranging from turnkey interior design to bespoke furniture procurement. Appointment Setting: Successfully bridge the gap between initial contact and a formal consultation with our design team. CRM Management: Maintain meticulous records of calls, follow-ups, and lead status. Brand Representation: Communicate with the sophistication and professional vocabulary expected in the luxury furniture and architecture industry. Required Skills & Experience Proven Track Record: Minimum 5 years of experience in high-ticket outbound sales or business development. Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with the luxury furniture market, interior design, or the "Made in Italy" sector is highly preferred. Exceptional Communication: Fluent, persuasive English (additional languages like Italian or Arabic are a plus) with a polished "corporate-executive" tone. Resilience: A veteran mindset—able to navigate gatekeepers and turn "no" into "not right now." What We Provide Legal Backing: You will be representing a brand fully owned and operated by Global Concierge, a registered entity under RAK International Corporate Centre (Registration No: 0149). Marketing Support: Access to our digital portfolio and website (https://maisonitalic.com) to support your sales efforts. Compensation: Competitive hourly rate plus a highly attractive commission structure on successful conversions/contracts. How to Apply Please provide a brief summary of your most successful high-ticket sales achievement. If you have a recording of a past sales call or a voice sample, please include it. We are looking for the "voice" of Maison Italic. The "Maison Italic" Executive Sales ScriptPhase 1: The Hook (The First 15 Seconds) "Good morning/afternoon, [Prospect Name]. My name is [Salesperson Name] calling from the London/Dubai office of Maison Italic. I’m reaching out because we are currently expanding our portfolio of turnkey interior projects in [Prospect’s City/Region], and your recent project at [Reference a specific project if known] caught our attention." Phase 2: The Value Proposition "We specialize in bridging the gap between high-end architectural vision and the 'Made in Italy' manufacturing world. We represent over 500 elite Italian manufacturers, providing everything from bespoke furniture and lighting to full-scale interior architecture. Essentially, we act as the single point of contact—handling the design, the direct procurement from Italy, and the final installation." Phase 3: The Discovery Question "I noticed on your website that you focus on [Luxury Residential/Commercial Spaces]. Are you currently managing any projects where sourcing authentic, high-caliber Italian craftsmanship has been a challenge or where you're looking for a more streamlined 'turnkey' solution?" Phase 4: Handling the "I already have a supplier" Objection "I completely understand. Most of our partners already have established channels. However, Maison Italic is unique because we provide direct access to the manufacturers that aren't typically available through standard retail showrooms. Because we operate under our parent facility, Global Concierge, we handle the entire logistics and banking tail, so you don't have to deal with multiple international vendors." Phase 5: The Close (The Appointment) "I’d love to send you a digital copy of our latest curated portfolio so you can see the quality of our recent installations. Beyond that, would you be open to a 10-minute introductory call next Tuesday with our Head of Design? We can discuss how we might be able to simplify your procurement for your next project." If Accepted we will need to sign an NDA subject to receiving passport and ID documents and proof of address of the agent. At Maison Italic, we don't hire 'callers'; we hire future partners. While we provide a $300 base to cover your desk, our top performers in this role earn over $1,500 a month. One project close for a luxury villa could earn you a bonus that pays for your entire year's rent.

Build Integration to send IONOS Web Orders to Kipos POS

We run a food takeaway and need a developer to build an integration so that orders placed on our IONOS webstore are automatically sent into our Kipos account (https://app.kipos.uk/) and print straight to our kitchen/printer setup with no manual re-entry. This must be production-ready: fast, reliable, and built to handle busy service periods. What the integration must do 1) Capture new online orders from IONOS Detect new orders as soon as they’re paid/confirmed (or the correct “ready for kitchen” status) Pull all relevant order data: Order ID, timestamp Customer name + phone/email Delivery vs collection Address (delivery) / pickup details (collection) Requested time: ASAP vs scheduled (time slot if applicable) Customer notes (allergies, “no onions”, etc.) Items, quantities, variants Modifiers / add-ons / extras (e.g., “extra cheese”, “no sauce”, spice level) Discounts / delivery fee / tips (if present) Payment method/status 2) Create the order in Kipos exactly as the kitchen needs it Push the order into Kipos so it lands in the correct screen/queue as an online order Map all the required fields Ensure delivery/collection is correctly set and visible on print tickets Include requested time clearly (especially for scheduled orders) 3) Auto-printing to kitchen printers Orders arriving in Kipos should auto-print to our configured printer(s), or be inserted into the correct Kipos workflow/status that triggers printing. Key requirements (takeaway-specific) Modifier & note handling (critical) Must support multiple modifiers per item, and multiple items each with their own notes Preserve formatting so the ticket is easy to read during service Handle edge cases like: “No X” and allergy notes Duplicate prevention + reliability No duplicate tickets/orders if a webhook retries or the sync is re-run Retry + failure handling: Automatic retries Clear error logs Optional alert (email) if an order fails to sync Operational timing Webhook/event-driven preferred (near-instant) Polling acceptable only if webhooks aren’t available, but it must still be reliable and efficient Security Secure credential storage (environment variables/secret store) HTTPS, least-privilege access Preferred technical approach We’re open to the best implementation, but we expect this to be either: Middleware service (recommended): listens for IONOS orders and posts to Kipos or Direct plugin/integration if IONOS supports it. Deliverables Working live integration: IONOS → Kipos order creation + printing workflow Configuration options: Which order status triggers sending Item/modifier mapping method Logging dashboard or structured logs (success/failures, retries, duplicates) Documentation: Setup steps How to update menu/mappings Troubleshooting guide Test evidence: At least 10 varied test orders (modifiers, delivery/collection, scheduled/ASAP) Source code + handover (Git repo or zip) Short post-launch support period (bug fixes) Acceptance criteria A new IONOS order appears correctly in Kipos within an agreed time (e.g., under 60 seconds if webhook-based) Ticket prints automatically (or via correct Kipos status trigger) without staff interaction Items, modifiers, notes, times, and delivery/collection details are accurate and readable No duplicates under retries/network issues Clear logs for each order’s sync status To include in your proposal Your recommended approach (webhooks vs polling, architecture, hosting) Relevant experience (POS integrations, online ordering, printers/kitchen workflows) Estimated cost + timeline (phased: build → test → deploy) What you need from us (API access, sample menu, Kipos printer workflow details) Info we can provide to speed things up Sample orders (with modifiers/notes) Our current IONOS product list/menu structure Screenshot/video of our Kipos order screen + print output requirements Printer setup details inside Kipos (single printer or multiple stations)
