We are looking for an experienced freelance salesperson or business development professional who can identify, approach, qualify, and convert potential B2B clients. Initial Engagement This is not a salaried employment position. During the initial trial period, there will be no fixed monthly salary or retainer. The primary compensation will be based on successfully closed and paid client contracts. The selected freelancer will be expected to source the first client independently through their own prospecting activities, professional network, LinkedIn outreach, cold email, partnerships, or other ethical B2B sales methods. For the first client to qualify as a successful conversion: The lead must be sourced by the freelancer; The client must sign an agreement for one of Ontos Tech’s services; and Ontos Tech must receive the client’s first payment. You will receive the approved service descriptions, pricing information, company positioning, and the basic information required to present Ontos Tech accurately. However, during the initial phase, prospect identification and outreach will be managed independently by the freelancer. Once the first client has been successfully secured and we confirm that we work effectively together, Ontos Tech may provide: A company email account; CRM access; Sales and outreach tools; Marketing and presentation materials; Prospect lists and company-generated leads; Technical support during sales meetings; Additional training on our services; and The possibility of a monthly retainer or longer-term compensation arrangement. Commission Structure First Self-Sourced Client The freelancer will receive: 20% of net revenue collected from the first project-based contract; or 20% of collected monthly revenue for the first six months of a recurring service contract. Examples: A $2,000 cybersecurity engagement generates a $400 commission. An $8,000 software development project generates a $1,600 commission. A $1,600-per-month managed IT contract generates up to $1,920 in commission over six months. After the Initial Trial Subject to successful performance, the indicative commission structure will be: 15% of collected revenue for independently sourced project-based clients; 15% of collected monthly revenue for the first six months of independently sourced recurring clients; 10% of collected revenue for clients generated from leads provided by Ontos Tech. A fixed monthly retainer, salary-like arrangement, or alternative commission model may be discussed after consistent results and an active client pipeline have been established. Commission is calculated on net amounts actually collected by Ontos Tech, excluding taxes, refunds, discounts, chargebacks, software licences, subcontractor costs, and other agreed third-party pass-through expenses. All freelancer compensation will be processed through Upwork.

Ideal Candidate Proven experience in B2B sales, business development, lead generation, or technology sales; Experience selling IT consulting, managed services, cybersecurity, cloud services, SaaS, or software development; Ability to source prospects independently; Strong written and spoken English; Confident communication and negotiation skills; Understanding of consultative and solution-based selling; Existing business relationships or a professional network are an advantage; Comfortable working in a performance-based environment; Able to represent the company professionally and accurately.
