Business Development / Sales
Not your everyday business development position. Uncapped commissions, and the products with great product-need fit to drive those commissions upward.
Positions Available:
- Multiple full time and part time business development positions available.
- Primarily senior level positions with some junior level.
- Positions available in both our headquarters as well as our several satellite sales offices.
- Flexibility to provide input into office location to reduce your travel times, for new territories, or potentially work from home.
- Custom tailored positions will occasionally be considered for candidates that are seeking primarily to focus on leveraging an exceptional rolodex rather than a typical sales position.
- We are also hiring for other positions this year (sales engineers, industry vertical specialists, etc). If you know someone in any of these areas, please do them a quick and friendly favour by letting them know about this posting.
Position Overview:
- Base + commission structure that is extremely lucrative for shooting star performers.
- Absolutely no commission caps: we strongly believe in mutual unlimited upside.
- Our focus is on strong product-need fit, not on pressure selling the wrong solutions.
- Meeting underserved markets, across several target industries.
- For some of our product lines, patents ensuring direct competition can't exist.
- Amazing marketing support to support your business development efforts, and an authorized budget to use them to support your entry into your preferred industries.
- Primarily hunting, with some incoming leads as an additional reward whenever you close a hunting deal.
- One of the example products we sell: a tool that lets non-technical people build their own full-blown web applications using spreadsheets, and which is beginning explosive growth (see pleasantsolutions.com/webifier) as well as privacy products as seen at Paranoid.com.
- Flexible hours (for example: choose to start your day between 6am and 10am, work late some days and shorter on others).
- Variety and flexibility to mutually agree on target industries and target customer sizes.
- Opportunity to be rewarded for introducing company-wide sales initiatives (for example: lunch-n-learns, golf tournaments, and whatever your experience shows is something we should start).
- Supported by other departments that are involved in the presales cycle including business analysts, infrastructure analysts, and occasionally the project managers.
- Being a trusted advisor to clients and prospects, spotting opportunities within the client's stories for win-wins.
- Responsible for meeting annual revenue targets.
- Opportunity for advancement (help train and lead employees as the company grows further).

About The Work Environment:
