Filltronic is a Texas-based company seeking an experienced B2B industrial sales and business development professional for a remote, part-time market development project. Our #1 priority is finding a sales professional with an existing network, established business relationships, or meaningful contacts within the Texas industrial and manufacturing market. Relationships in liquid manufacturing, co-packing, filling, capping, packaging-line operations, or related industrial environments are especially valuable. Relevant relationships may include liquid product manufacturers, co-packers, contract packagers, companies operating filling and capping lines, industrial equipment companies, industrial distributors, integrators, or professionals connected with plant managers, operations managers, maintenance managers, production managers, and business owners. We are also looking for someone who is highly proactive, charismatic, persistent, and comfortable creating opportunities. You should know how to research accounts, reach decision-makers, cold call, follow up, build rapport, identify potential business needs, and book qualified meetings. This is not a technical closing role, and it is not a high-volume generic telemarketing project. Your role is to: Use existing Texas industrial relationships when relevant. Identify and research qualified companies involved in liquid manufacturing, filling, capping, and related industrial operations. Reach industrial decision-makers through phone, email, and professional outreach. Identify potential equipment problems, improvement needs, line-planning opportunities, or new industrial projects. Open doors and schedule qualified conversations with Filltronic's owners. Filltronic will handle technical discussions, equipment evaluation, solution development, proposals, pricing, and project closing. Native-level or near-native U.S. English communication is strongly preferred. Spanish is a plus but not required. We will begin with a short paid pilot to evaluate fit, initiative, communication, quality of outreach, and ability to create qualified industrial opportunities. A successful pilot may develop into a longer part-time engagement. In addition to the hourly rate, Filltronic plans to offer uncapped performance-based bonuses for qualified opportunities that result in paid projects. The specific bonus structure will be discussed with selected candidates before the paid pilot begins. When applying, please specifically describe your professional network, relationships, or prior business activity within the Texas industrial and manufacturing market. Experience or relationships in liquid manufacturing, co-packing, filling, capping, packaging equipment, or related production environments are especially relevant. General sales experience without Texas industrial market exposure is not our primary selection criterion.

Hi, I’m the founder of myVAmatch, an early-stage SaaS marketplace that helps entrepreneurs quickly match with vetted U.S.-based virtual assistants. I built the platform based on 25+ years of experience as a virtual executive assistant myself. I know the VA side of the market very well, but I’m not a salesperson, so I’m looking for someone who can help me build the entrepreneur acquisition side. We’ve had 703 VAs sign up so far, all without paid ads, so there is already strong organic interest on the VA side, although there is room to grow there as well. The bigger focus right now is getting qualified entrepreneurs, founders, and small business owners onto the platform. I know we are solving a real pain point, but reach is what I need help with. I’m looking for a scrappy growth marketing / lead generation person to help drive qualified entrepreneur signups. I need someone who can think strategically, but is also comfortable rolling up their sleeves, testing channels, doing outreach, finding what works, and turning that into a repeatable acquisition system. This position is NOT: – A social media marketing position – A content-only role – A strategy-only role – A lead generation-only role I’m looking for someone who can help generate real interest, conversations, leads, and signups, while also thinking through which acquisition channels are worth testing and building into a repeatable system. The main goal: drive qualified entrepreneur signups for myVAmatch. What I need help with: – Building an entrepreneur acquisition pipeline from scratch – Identifying qualified entrepreneur, founder, and small business owner leads – Testing acquisition channels like Reddit, LinkedIn, founder communities, Facebook groups, partnerships, referral channels, newsletters, and other relevant communities – Creating and executing outreach ideas that lead to real conversations and signups – Identifying strategic partners who already reach entrepreneurs – Tracking what is working and what is not – Providing a simple weekly summary of activity, results, and recommended next steps About the business: myVAmatch is not a job board or VA agency. Entrepreneurs fill out a Match Form, instantly preview 9 vetted VA matches across 3 tiers, then pay a one-time match fee to unlock the contact details for their chosen tier. VAs subscribe monthly to stay visible on the platform. This is an early-stage startup run by a solo founder with a small contractor team, so I’m looking for someone practical, proactive, and comfortable testing ideas quickly. This could turn into a long-term role for the right person. Ideal person: – Strong lead generation and growth marketing experience – Understands B2B SaaS, marketplaces, or founder-facing offers – Comfortable with outreach and community-based acquisition – Can think strategically but also execute – Strong written communication – Detail-oriented and thoughtful, with the ability to treat the entrepreneur side of this marketplace with real care – Comfortable working with a small budget and early-stage startup constraints – High-integrity, reliable, and willing to care about the business as if it were their own – Bonus if you have experience reaching entrepreneurs, founders, consultants, coaches, creators, agencies, or small business owners Please include in your proposal: – A brief overview of your relevant experience – A few acquisition channels you’ve personally worked with that may be relevant here – One example of a growth or lead generation campaign you’ve worked on – Your suggested first step if we decide to work together I’m open to starting with a small paid test project, then expanding if the results and working relationship are strong. If this sounds like you, I’d love to connect. Thanks, Jo

We are a media production and marketing agency in the Houston Area. We are looking at a move to Brattleboro, Vermont in the nest year and are exploring the idea of hiring a salesperson to start building relationships and talking us up before we get there. We would love to come into the move with some good leads. Our primary target is SMBs that want to improve their brand's visual presence. This means ongoing social media management and content creation retainers, project based photo/video production, brand strategy and development, and facilitation of other marketing services through local contractors. We know our business model will need to adapt to fit the local market. So we would love someone who can help us test out ideas on the ground. See how they land with people. This role would require in person networking so being a "people person" is a plus. We pride ourselves on being a relationship business, so we would be relying on you to start building relationships at local chambers of commerce and other business groups. This would mean event attendance and follow ups with people you meet. Connecting them with our Houston team, and nurturing these relationships on the ground. A perfect person for this role would be someone who' s already familiar with networking in the area. In person sales experience is a must. Marketing or creative background is a huge plus. Like we had said earlier, we are exploring this position right now and would love your input on what would make it the most effective long term. Is it even a good idea? We don't know! We'd love your thoughts!

Sales Consultant — Steel Buildings (Warm Leads, Uncapped Commission) Noble Steel Co. is a fast-growing steel building dealership selling across the Southeast and Northeast. We generate the leads and you close them. No cold prospecting, no door knocking. Warm inbound buyers who need garages, workshops, barns, and commercial structures. What you'll do: Work inbound leads by phone, guide buyers from quote to signed contract, and manage your pipeline in our CRM. Typical deals range from $20K–$80K+, and you earn commission on every close. Top reps here build a real income, or a strong side hustle. You can earn anywhere from $40,000-$100,000. Who crushes this role: The best people here think like project managers, not pitchmen. Every buyer has a real problem — they need a garage before winter, a workshop that fits equipment they already own, a barn that meets county code. Your job is to think in sequence: understand the use case, solution the right building, walk them through site prep, permitting, and delivery so nothing stalls. These buildings sell themselves when the buyer trusts the process — and the commissions are strong for people who know how to help customers get from "I need a building" to "it's on my property." If you've managed projects, run consultative sales, or guided customers through complex purchases (construction, home improvement, custom orders), you'll thrive here. What we provide: Steady flow of qualified leads, a battle-tested call playbook, CRM and texting tools, fast quote turnaround, and a team that actually closes deals (we're not figuring this out — we're scaling it). Structure: Commission-only, uncapped. Paid per closed deal. Remote, US-based, flexible hours — but this rewards people who treat it like a business, not a shift. To apply: Tell us about a time you guided a customer through a multi-step purchase or project — what did you do to keep it moving?

Hello! We are a specialty tax consulting firm seeking a freelance writer (and designer if possible) to write/develop a gated PDF lead magnet on R&D Tax Credits in the U.S. The piece will be an educational, research-backed “benchmark report” style asset intended for CFOs, controllers, engineering leaders, and business owners - not overly promotional marketing copy.

Details for this project: - 8-12 page benchmark report. - Include sections on average R&D credit ranges, qualifying activities, and misconceptions broken down by key industries (software/tech, manufacturing, oil & gas, engineering/architecture, biotech/life sciences) and company sizes ($5M - $25M, $25M - $100M, $100M+) - Incorporate light statistics and non-promotional CTAs. - Integrate provided direction, content, and messaging points. I'm open to hourly or fixed-price proposals.
