**** MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE IN LIVE SELLING TO APPLY

Katydid is looking for energetic, experienced Live Selling Hosts to help build and grow our live-commerce business on Whatnot and TikTok Shop.

This is not simply an on-camera hosting position. We are looking for people who understand the entire live-selling process — from preparing merchandise and pricing products to setting up listings, operating the computer during live shows, hosting on camera, tracking results and preparing for the next show.

  • Explain product features, fit, sizing, colors and value
  • Run auctions, fixed-price products, promotions and giveaways
  • Engage directly with viewers and respond to live comments
  • Create urgency and excitement without making the experience feel overly scripted
  • Keep shows moving quickly with little to no dead air
  • Build relationships with repeat viewers and customers
  • Develop your own recognizable on-camera personality while representing the Katydid brand
PREPARE THE SHOW
  • Pull samples and merchandise from inventory
  • Select products for upcoming shows
  • Organize products into the selling order

  • Determine which products should be auctioned versus sold at a fixed price
  • Work within approved pricing and margin guidelines
  • Establish auction starting prices
  • Prepare giveaways
  • Create show themes and concepts
  • Plan the flow and pacing of each show
  • Prepare racks, tables and product displays
WHATNOT & TIKTOK SHOP COMPUTER WORK
  • Create and manage product listings
  • Upload products, photos and descriptions
  • Set quantities and pricing
  • Set auction starting bids
  • Manage Buy It Now products
  • Create and manage live shows
  • Operate Seller Hub and live-selling controls

  • Review sales and show performance after each live
BUILD THE KATYDID LIVE-SELLING PLAYBOOK We do not just want someone to follow instructions. We want experienced live sellers who can help us continually improve the program. You will help test and refine:
  • Best days and times to go live
  • Ideal show length
  • Auction duration
  • Starting-price strategies
  • Product mix
  • Giveaway strategy
  • Show themes
  • Viewer engagement techniques
  • Conversion strategies
  • Repeat-customer strategies
  • Whatnot versus TikTok selling strategies
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
  • Previous Whatnot live-selling experience
  • Previous TikTok Shop LIVE selling experience
  • Experience selling apparel, accessories, beauty, gifts or other consumer products strongly preferred
  • A naturally outgoing, upbeat and engaging personality
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Strong comfort level on camera
  • Ability to talk naturally for extended periods without relying on a script
  • Confidence trying on and modeling women’s apparel on camera
  • Ability to think quickly and respond to viewers in real time
  • Strong sales instincts
  • Understanding of urgency, pricing and promotions
  • Strong computer skills
  • Excellent organizational skills
  • Ability to prepare merchandise and samples independently
  • Ability to learn Katydid products quickly
  • Reliability and willingness to consistently host scheduled shows
YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND MORE THAN JUST HOSTING We are especially interested in applicants who have personally worked behind the scenes of successful Whatnot or TikTok

Shop live-selling operations.

If you know how to: prep it → price it → list it → stage it → sell it live → analyze it → improve the next show … we want to talk to you.

Approximately 10–40 hours per week, depending on experience, availability and live-show performance.

COMPENSATION

We want our strongest live sellers to benefit directly when their shows perform well.
