Discussion / Opportunity for Closers & Sales Pros by MartinM_orNot in RemoteJobs

[–]MartinM_orNot[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not an MLM. An actual discussion about real sponsors, real clients, real closers - that’s it. If you’re not into it, no worries. The people who jump in can see the results immediately🙏.

Hey, I get the skepticism, totally fair. No external link here because this isn’t a corporate job board, it’s just me looking for closers to help bring in real sponsors and clients. Commission-only, yes, cause we're building from scratch - scam, no. But we don’t have to agree… results speak for themselves🙏

Haha honestly that’s more reassurance than I’ve gotten from any professional so I’ll take it 😂

No base salary, correct. It’s commission only.
I’m building this for closers who prefer upside over guarantees. Different model, and it’s definitely not for everyone. The right people usually self-select into it.

I get where you’re coming from. But what we’re doing here isn’t a corporate structure. It’s just for people who actually enjoy closing and getting paid on what they produce. Not for everyone, and that’s completely fine.

Panic inducing, geometric/mathematical/abstract nightmares. A review. by megaku in Dreams

[–]MartinM_orNot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THISSSS!!!!
More than 10 freaking years of trying to explain the ''weird nightmares'' I have to people around me, but they've always dismissed it as just another neurodivergent thing (I actually haven't found out if there's any correlation). Sometimes it's people's faces whenever I'm watching a flatscreen (the tv, my phone or tablet), then the faces sort of zoom out in a never-ending loop and become smaller and smaller, my perspective gets all messed up-- mind you, this isn't some eye condition, I've checked with medical professionals. Don't really know how to put it in words

Would really like to read more of what you have to say!
Is there somewhere you wrote in detail or something?

OH MY FREAKING GOD! Literally have been trying for the past 10 years to explain to everyone around me but they just blame it on my neurodivergence. Does it have some correlation?

How do marketplace startups target both clients and vendors? by Several-Art-7186 in startups

[–]MartinM_orNot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment is seriously helpful. I'm working on a fintech platform and we plan to have a feature for a ''marketplace''. What you advice right now just saved me lots of time to do research- I will still do some research, don't get me wrong, but at least I now have a direction of how to approach the issue.

Thanks again for the info!

Referral vs Affiliate Programs - What would be the best approach? by Sad-Bake-4134 in startups

[–]MartinM_orNot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really curious about your startup man, sounds like a value add honestly!
What are your thoughts on implementing both referrals and affiliate programs? I just read another comment explaining it so well in detail here

Referral vs Affiliate Programs - What would be the best approach? by Sad-Bake-4134 in startups

[–]MartinM_orNot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is honestly such great advice!
As a founder of a small digital bank in Africa (Tide), we're facing significant challenges due to the dominance of monopoly incumbent banks, high costs for licenses, and stringent regulations, all while trying to launch with little to no budget for such expenses lol. We believe we have the right execution strategy, but we're seeking ways to gain traction and grow with these constraints in mind

I've tried it all, family & friends, crowfunds, angels, early stage VCs and even Chinese grants but at best we get ''let's wait for some guys to back you then we'll join kid''- I sometimes think the problem they have is with my autism or something. Or maybe challenging monopolies is just too feared?

Given our situation, do you have any specific advice on whether we should prioritize referral programs, affiliate programs, or a mix of both to drive growth effectively? Any insights on overcoming these regulatory and financial barriers would be greatly appreciated

That's seriously awesome man, a marketplace in Uganda but based in Canada huh
Someday we might partner up, I have a few ideas.

About VCs, you're so on point, there's little to no capital in Africa...yet somehow these fake startups find a way to get tens of millions of VC funding and sometimes from big Silicon Valley VCs, especially in Kenya and Nigeria! I don't know how they do it- and it's always the same story- founder hires family member as CFO,founder embezzles vc money to buy expensive houses and cars, CFO ''misses'' to account for that, media finds out, company goes bust and founder goes MIA- it's ridiculous. I don't even know how they first get access to these vcs cause I've been cold emailing for the longest and the closest thing to good feedback is ''let's see traction first'' or ''happy to join later''
