About the role

Affilimate
is an analytics platform that helps media companies, marketers, and creators grow their website's affiliate revenue by understanding exactly where their revenue is coming from.

Our platform tracks millions of visitors per day, and millions in revenue per month, for our customers.

We're looking to make our first Sales hire, who will help us systematize our Sales pipeline and processes.

We've been around for over 2 years. We have a predictable inbound sales pipeline driven by content and word-of-mouth, plus a demo that converts.

Our goal is to move upmarket and start bringing on bigger accounts with higher ACVs, who will get immense value from our platform.

We're looking for someone who knows how to be scrappy, get things done, and brings early stage SaaS sales experience to the table.

In return, you'll have incredible career and salary growth opportunity, as well as the potential for equity based on performance.

What you'll do
  • Work with our Support &Onboarding team to identify high value inbound leads, get them on a demo, nurture them through the trial, reach the point of value, and close them.
  • Qualify and coordinate inbound demo requests, and ultimately do demos for prospects yourself.
  • Develop cold email campaigns and reactivate cold leads we've previously demo'd to, or came in through our self-serve signup.
  • Take a consultative approach to selling, and understand the needs and challenges of prospective customers.
  • Inspire prospects regarding the value and potential of our platform, and adapt your pitch to their pain points.
  • Help shape our Sales strategy and processes, to make them scalable, predictable, and repeatable.
  • Your main KPI is added MRR, and we'll expect you to generate an additional $3-5K MRR in the first few months.
