LinkedIn outreach
Cold email
Upwork and other freelance platforms
Startup/founder outreach
Agency partnerships
International business directories
Personal/professional network

Our primary interest is in qualified project opportunities, not simply purchasing databases or receiving large lists of unverified leads.

Identify genuine software development opportunities.
Approach founders, CTOs, business owners and other decision-makers.
Create personalized outreach messages.
Follow up with interested prospects.

We would prefer someone who:

Has previous experience generating clients for software/IT companies.

Has experience with international clients.
Has strong written and spoken English.
Understands LinkedIn and cold-email outreach.
Has experience bidding for software projects.
Can show examples of projects/leads generated previously.
Understands the difference between a raw lead and a qualified sales opportunity.

Experience selling IT services to clients in the US, UK, UAE, Europe or Australia would be highly valuable.

Commercial Model

We are open to discussing:

Fixed monthly freelance payment
Fixed payment + commission
Commission per successfully acquired project
Performance-based arrangement

For commission-based arrangements, commission will be calculated against successfully acquired projects and payments received from the client.

Have you previously generated website, mobile app, AI or cloud projects?

Please start your proposal with "IT SALES" so we know you have read the complete requirement.
