Hours: Overlap with UK and US East Coast mornings
Pay: Base plus commission on every client you sign. Details on the first call.
Genius PR gets crypto and AI companies into the press: tier-one coverage, founder profiles, podcasts, and showing up when buyers ask ChatGPT about their category. Our clients are funded founders who want to be the name in their category. We sell six-month programmes from $72,000 to $120,000.
We need a closer. Leads come in from inbound and outbound, and the calendar runs at 10 to 15 sales meetings a week. Your job is to qualify every one of them, close the ones that fit, and handle the "can you guarantee coverage?" objection with a straight answer.
What you'll do
- Take 10 to 15 meetings a week from inbound and outbound leads, with crypto and AI founders, CMOs and heads of comms
- Work our close playbook: a short media-readiness check before the call, the price conversation, a fixed set of concessions, and a clear next step on every call
- Qualify fast: spot the ones who have the budget, the story and the timing, and move the rest on politely. Turn the qualified ones into signed six-month agreements, and hand each one to the account team with notes they can use
- Follow up on every open deal until it's a yes or a clear no
- Keep the CRM honest: every deal staged, every next step dated
- Tell us what prospects actually object to, so the offer and the content get better
You have
- 3+ years closing B2B deals on calls, with numbers you can show us (quota hit, deals closed, average deal size)
- Experience selling services or software to marketing, PR or comms buyers. Agency new business, PR software (Cision, Meltwater, Onclusive, Notified, Muck Rack), media sales or high-ticket consulting all count
- Comfort with five-figure and six-figure deals, and with founders who push back
- Clear, confident written and spoken English
Nice to have
You've sold to crypto or AI companies, you know what earned media is and isn't, you speak Spanish or Portuguese.
How we hire
A 20-minute call, then a paid roleplay where you run a discovery and close call on a real (anonymised) prospect, then a call with our founder. We decide within a week.
To apply
Send one line on the biggest deal you've closed (size, buyer, how long it took) and your quota attainment for the last two years.
