Sales Development Representative.
Remote, worldwide. Commission only.
ABOUT US
Personade makes personalised video outreach for sales teams. A client's rep films themselves once, for about a minute. After that, every prospect on their list gets a different video: their own script, in that rep's real voice and face. Not an AI avatar, and not a name dropped into one video.
We are three people. The product works and we have paying users. We do not have a wall of logos yet, and we are not pretending otherwise.
THE ROLE
You message senior sales leaders on LinkedIn and get them to book a 15 minute call with us.
That is the entire job. You do not close, you do not quote prices, you do not run demos, you do not attend the calls. You book them and we take it from there.
Your number is calls booked, not revenue.
YOUR DAY
Around four focused hours, five days a week.
▸ 20 connection requests. No note, we will explain why.
▸ Check who accepted two days ago, send them message 1.
▸ Send the follow-ups that are due.
▸ Answer anyone who replied, same day.
▸ Write one specific line about each prospect you follow up.
That last one is the actual skill. Everything else is process.
WHAT WE GIVE YOU
▸ The list. Named accounts, filtered, exclusively yours. You will never compete with a colleague for a prospect.
▸ The messages. Four of them, written and tested.
▸ A personalised landing page for every prospect, with their name and company on it, already live.
▸ A 7 page playbook: who to contact, what to say, the objections and the answers, and the things not to say.
▸ A booking link. You never negotiate a time by hand.
You are not building this from scratch. You are running it.
WHAT YOU EARN
10% of everything your account pays in its first 12 months. No thresholds, no ramp, no accelerators, no cap.
One closed account pays you:
▸ Smallest deal, around $5,700 over the year
▸ Mid deal, around $10,800 to $20,400
▸ Largest band, around $48,000
Two or three accounts in a year is a serious income from four hours a day. There is no base salary and no draw.
WHAT WE NEED
▸ Written English good enough that a VP of Sales replies to you. This is the whole job. Nothing else comes close.
▸ A LinkedIn profile with real history and real connections. Prospects click the sender before they answer, so a thin profile costs you replies whatever the message says.
▸ Enough persistence to send 100 messages a week for a month before the pattern shows up.
▸ Honesty about what you did and did not send. We can see the page opens either way, so it is easier to just tell us.
WHAT WE DO NOT NEED
▸ Cold calling. There is none in this role.
▸ A CRM you already know. We have one.
▸ Ten years of experience. Two good writers with one year beat one veteran who sends templates.
▸ Sales technique, frameworks or methodology. This is writing and persistence.
BE AWARE, BEFORE YOU APPLY
Commission only, with nothing paid before the first deal closes. If you need money in the next two months, this is the wrong role and we would rather you knew now.
Deals take weeks, not days. Realistically your first commission is two to three months out. What you get in the meantime is the list, the system and the pipeline you build, which is yours.
We have no case studies yet. You will be selling something new to people who get pitched every day, and most will ignore you. The ones who reply, reply because you wrote one sentence that proved you had read their profile.
This suits someone who already has income and wants upside, or someone who wants to own a territory in something early. It does not suit someone who needs a salary.
HOW TO APPLY
Do not send a cover letter. Send two things:
1. Your LinkedIn profile.
2. One opening line you would send to a VP of Sales at a company of your choosing. Name the company. One or two sentences, the message you would actually send.
- That line is the interview. We will read it before we read anything else about you.
