Sales Manager (commission-only)

RemoteIndependent contractor · 100% commission

Finds the companies, founders and agencies that need a presence on Wikipedia, Wikidata and in AI search, builds the contact base personally and takes each deal through to payment. There is no fixed pay and no inbound leads: income comes only from closed deals.

What you'd own

  • Build and maintain your own prospect base: LinkedIn, funding news, industry lists, your own network.
  • Reach the people who decide: communications and PR leads, founders, agency owners.
  • Qualify honestly: does the client have independent sources, a budget and a real reason to act.
  • Run the deal from first message to payment and keep every step in the CRM.
  • Hand signed work to the editorial team with a clear brief, and bring in an editor when a case needs a source assessment.
  • Open partner channels with PR, SEO and reputation agencies where one contact can lead to repeat orders.

You'll thrive here if

  • You have closed B2B service deals where you found the client yourself.
  • You can work without guaranteed income and plan your finances around a sales cycle.
  • You know how to reach a decision-maker without bought lead lists or mass mailing.
  • You work in English or in the language of the market you plan to open.
  • You never promise what nobody controls. A guaranteed Wikipedia page is a line we do not cross.

The first weeks

First week: the price list, the call script and what actually passes on Wikipedia, so you sell what the editors can deliver. From there you work your own base and your own schedule. Commission is calculated on payments actually received from clients; the rate and the terms are set out on the first call. You work as an independent contractor, not an employee.
