Seeking Expressions of Interest for Commission‑Only Sales Roles in Europe
Hootnotes is a newly launched SaaS visual collaboration and note‑sharing tool for businesses and educators. We’ve just exited beta and are beginning commercial sales. Learn more at https://hootnotes.io/.
Role Summary
We are seeking commission‑only sales representatives to sell Hootnotes to business users across Europe. You will operate remotely, work autonomously day‑to‑day, and report to our Head of Sales based in Australia. You will be provided with marketing collateral and HubSpot access for CRM tracking, but you will be expected to build pipeline, cold‑call prospects, and close subscription deals.
Key Requirements
* Proven SaaS sales experience, ideally in commission‑only or performance‑based roles.
* Strong knowledge of collaborative and whiteboarding software (Miro, FigJam, Mural, Notion, etc.) or experience selling into education/tutoring tech.
* Hunter mentality — comfortable with cold outreach, prospecting, and building pipeline from scratch.
* Fast technical ramp — able to quickly learn Hootnotes, become demo‑capable, and present confidently to buyers. Early demos will include an Australian team member for support.
* CRM discipline — all prospects and opportunities must be entered and maintained in HubSpot.
* Collaborative approach — your outreach strategy and major campaigns will be vetted and approved by the Australian Head of Sales.
* Timezone flexibility to engage prospects across your target region.
* Full resume required if your LinkedIn profile does not contain complete employment details.
Compensation and Early Targets
* Commission only with uncapped earnings. The commission band is 20–40% of first‑year revenue on every deal you close.
* Example: close $200,000 in first‑year ARR and earn $40,000–$80,000 in commission. Exact percentage is negotiable for the right candidate.
* You will receive marketing collateral and onboarding support and will influence future materials by identifying gaps and needs.
