Business Development Executive – Commission Only

Company Description:

Taysonsta partners with founders and entrepreneurs to turn SaaS ideas into scalable, market-ready software products — from initial validation and product strategy through development and launch.

We work with clients primarily across the GCC, with a strong focus on Saudi Arabia and the UAE, helping entrepreneurs turn business ideas into real SaaS products and technology ventures.

Our work sits at the intersection of Business Development, SaaS, Product Strategy, Technology, and Entrepreneurship.

Role Description

This is a remote, performance-driven Business Development Executive role focused on generating and closing new business for Taysonsta.

You will be responsible for building your own pipeline from the ground up. No leads are provided. You will independently research prospects, identify founders and entrepreneurs with SaaS or software opportunities, initiate conversations, qualify prospects, conduct discovery calls, present Taysonsta's offering, negotiate commercial terms, and close new projects.

Our target clients are primarily founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the wider GCC who want to turn an idea or business opportunity into a SaaS product.

You will work closely with the Taysonsta team to understand each prospect's needs and position the right solution, from SaaS strategy and validation to product development and launch.

Key Responsibilities

Research and identify potential clients across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the GCC.

Identify founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners with SaaS or software opportunities.

Build and manage your own prospect list and sales pipeline.

Generate leads independently through cold email, LinkedIn outreach, networking, referrals, partnerships, and other outbound channels.

Initiate and manage conversations with potential clients.

Qualify prospects based on business need, opportunity, budget, and readiness.

Conduct discovery calls and understand the client's business, idea, and requirements.

Present Taysonsta's SaaS/product development offering through tailored pitches and proposals.

Handle follow-ups, objections, negotiations, and commercial discussions.

Close new SaaS and software development projects.

Maintain accurate CRM records and track the entire sales pipeline.

Monitor outreach and conversion metrics and continuously improve sales strategies.

Build and maintain long-term relationships with prospects and clients.

Collaborate with the internal team to ensure a smooth handoff from sales to product and delivery.

Represent Taysonsta professionally in online meetings, networking events, and partner conversations.

Compensation

First 30 Days — Commission Only

The initial 30-day period is commission-only and performance-based.

You will receive:

10% commission on every project you successfully close and that is collected by Taysonsta.

There is no fixed salary during the initial 30-day performance period.

This period is designed for both sides to evaluate performance, sales ability, and long-term fit.

After the First Month

High-performing candidates who demonstrate the ability to independently generate opportunities and close business will have the opportunity to move into a strong fixed salary + 10% commission structure.

The exact salary package will be discussed based on demonstrated performance and experience.

What We're Looking For:

Demonstrated experience in Business Development, Sales, Lead Generation, or New Business Acquisition.

Proven ability to independently build and manage a sales pipeline.

Experience with outbound prospecting and cold outreach.

Strong closing and negotiation skills.

Ability to generate opportunities without relying on company-provided leads.

Strong understanding of business fundamentals and SaaS business models.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Ability to explain complex products and business ideas clearly.

Strong relationship-building and account management skills.

Comfortable communicating with founders, entrepreneurs, and senior decision-makers.

Self-motivated, proactive, disciplined, and comfortable working independently.

Comfortable working in a commission-based, performance-driven environment.

Proficiency with CRM tools and online communication platforms.

Previous experience in B2B sales, SaaS, software, digital services, or startup environments is highly preferred.

Experience selling to clients in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, or the wider GCC is a strong advantage.

Relevant education in Business, Marketing, Sales, or a related field is an advantage, but equivalent experience is valued.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

This role is best suited for a sales hunter who enjoys finding opportunities rather than waiting for leads to be handed to them.

You should be comfortable with:

Finding prospects → Starting conversations → Qualifying → Discovery → Pitching → Negotiating → Closing.

If you already have a strong network of founders, entrepreneurs, or business owners in the GCC, that is a significant advantage.
