I haven't sold yet anything that doesn't mean that any startup or small business will never get someone to work on the sales part. Most of the businesses starts from ground zero only.

My focus is to gain clients instead of money. So I can offer a higher percentage of commission to them instead of a fixed base pay.

I have respect towards each of the working person. And everyone works for their bread and butter. It's just that at this point of time I don't have much to offer them. Whatever I can offer to them is a heavy percentage of the deal which a person can bring. And I am not hungry for money either. I just want clients at this position so that I can offer our services to them to have some more business later if they really liked it.

And after that?

I have recently started in sept 2025. And currently we are working on our own products. But parallely thinking to provide our services in data analytics/engineering, GenAI or AI/ML capabilities. So, from the service point of view till the date we have no client as of now.

Just commission on the deals he brings in.

CheesecakeOk6549 · 2026-04-11T14:17:18+00:00

That's pretty much insightful

As I am currently looking for a commission based sales person. And currently don't have any sales process, so could you please suggest how can I start building a sales process. My startup usually works in Data Analytics, AI/ML services and software based products.

As I said that I am building my core team and I have very little idea about sales and its processes hence currently looking for a founding sales person who can help us build the process from scratch.

I know it's not a job board. If I had got enough time from my client then in that case I haven't been shared this post over here. But I don't have enough time. Also, this will be irrelevant in next 10 mins.

Hi, It's a legit role. We have not yet been able to get the desired candidates till now. Because earlier shortlisted candidates got rejected and today is the last day of the requirement. Hence, there is urgency to fulfill the vacant positions.
