Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've closed high-value B2B deals and can build pipeline independently without hand-holding
  • You understand the difference between snake oil and real AI—and can communicate that to skeptical buyers
  • You thrive with autonomy, commission upside, and the ability to shape a new market category
  • You're genuinely curious about clients' problems and willing to walk away if you can't help
  • You have a strong network in startup/founder or mid-market operator communities
Won't Work If
  • You need base salary, benefits, or predictable income—this is pure commission with variable upside
  • You're primarily motivated by volume, quotas, and closing deals regardless of fit
  • You expect onboarding, training, and ongoing support; you'll be operating independently from day one
  • You're uncomfortable with the financial risk of a 1099 structure and building your own pipeline from scratch

Interview Process

1

Initial conversation

Discussion of your sales background, pipeline-building approach, and understanding of AI-driven solutions.

2

Walk through a recent deal: discovery process, qualification criteria, how you positioned value.

3

Founder/leadership conversation

Deeper alignment on values, go-to-market strategy, and your vision for scaling AI-powered growth services.

4

Market research assignment

Small task to identify and qualify 5-10 target prospects; assess your outreach and positioning.
