Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a proactive, bilingual Sales Closer (English/Spanish) to sell sponsorships and sponsored content for our AI-focused media project. You will be responsible for finding the right decision-makers, starting conversations, and closing deals – not just generating leads or running automations. This is a pure sales role, focused on outreach and closing. Our media channels include: An AI newsletter with 55k+ subscribers. An AI news website. LinkedIn with 50k+ followers. Multiple X/Twitter accounts with audiences between 100k and 210k followers. We sell: Newsletter sponsorships. Sponsored posts on our website. Sponsored posts/threads on LinkedIn. Sponsored threads and posts on X/Twitter. Sponsorship packages typically range from 199 USD to 900 USD per campaign, with potential for recurring deals and bundles. Responsibilities Identify and contact potential sponsors in the AI ecosystem (AI tools, platforms, courses, bootcamps, agencies, etc.). Use company lists we provide (AI companies, etc.) and enrich them by finding the right decision-makers (founders, CMOs, growth, marketing) on any relevant channel. Find and reach out to prospects via LinkedIn, email, social media, or other channels – not just by automating Sales Navigator. Run outbound campaigns (DMs, emails, calls) and follow up consistently until you get a clear yes/no. Book and run discovery/closing calls when needed (Zoom/Meet), and close sponsorship deals yourself. Qualify prospects and build a simple pipeline (using a CRM or spreadsheet) to keep track of outreach, conversations, and deals. Report weekly on key numbers: new prospects, conversations started, calls booked, deals closed, and revenue generated. Requirements Fluent English and Spanish (written and spoken). You will communicate with clients and write outreach messages in both languages. Proven experience in B2B sales, ideally selling: SaaS, marketing services, advertising, or sponsorships. Remote/online deals (Zoom, email, LinkedIn, etc.). Strong closing skills: you are comfortable handling objections, negotiating, and asking for the sale. Very proactive hunter mindset: you don’t wait for leads, you go out and find the right people. Comfortable using LinkedIn Sales Navigator (we can provide access if needed), but not limited to it – you should also use other channels (social media, email, communities, events, etc.). Ability to find decision-makers inside a company (founders, marketing/growth leaders) and start conversations with them. Good copywriting skills for cold emails and DMs in English and Spanish. Basic familiarity with AI tools and the AI ecosystem is a strong plus. You should be able to understand what AI products do and explain the value of sponsoring an AI audience. Nice to have Experience selling newsletter sponsorships, media packages, or digital advertising. Experience selling to international markets (US, Europe, LatAm, Asia). Experience using CRMs and outreach tools. Compensation Hourly rate: between 6 and 14 USD per hour, depending on experience and results. Commission: 10–20% per closed deal, depending on deal size and performance. Example: For a 199 USD sponsorship, you earn ~20–40 USD. For a 1000 USD sponsorship, you earn ~90–200 USD. Commissions are paid after the sponsor pays the invoice (we will handle invoicing and payment processing). There is no cap on commissions – the more you close, the more you earn. Work conditions Fully remote. Time zone is flexible, but you will mostly contact companies in United States, Spain, China and other international markets, so you should be able to overlap with those time zones when needed. We provide: Lists of relevant AI companies and verticals to target. Media kit and performance metrics (subscribers, clicks, examples of past campaigns). Access to tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator if needed. You bring: The discipline to do consistent outreach. The ability to close deals and build long-term sponsor relationships. How to apply When you apply, please include: A short introduction (in English or Spanish) about your sales experience. 2–3 sentences about your experience selling B2B or sponsorships (what you sold, to whom, and typical deal size). A short example of a cold message (in English) you would send to an AI company to propose a sponsorship. Please keep your application brief and concrete. We will only review proposals that follow these simple steps.
