You will be one of our first few hires based in Malaysia. The full role is below. Read it properly before you apply, because we read every application personally and we check what you write.

Reports to Jim Ng, founder

Joining Early In Malaysia

Our founder, Jim, is a Singaporean who lives in Selangor. We are moving into the Malaysian market, and you will be part of how we do it: you are the person who brings Malaysian businesses in.

Every client you win is a Malaysian business. Once they sign, an account manager looks after them and you go and win the next one.

About The Role

You close Malaysian businesses turning over more than RM1M a year. They buy SEO, Google Ads, Meta ads, UGC, creative campaigns and KOLs from us, on a monthly retainer.

Most of them come to us: they asked us to audit their website, and many have a custom audit of it ready by the time you call. You call them, run the strategy call, write the proposal and close it. You do not run the campaigns and you do not manage the account afterwards. Our account managers do that, and you hand each client over with a brief good enough that nothing gets lost.

Close the warm enquiries we pass you, fast, and win your own deals on top if you like. If you can close, this is your role.

What You'll Do

• Call each enquiry we pass you within the hour. In working hours. An enquiry that waits goes cold.
• Run the strategy calls and the meetings. On video and in person, with the owner who makes the decision.
• Write, present and close the proposals. Monthly retainers, written by you, presented by you, signed because of you.
• Hand each signed client to an account manager with a clear brief. What they bought, what they were promised and what worries them.
• Keep the pipeline current in the CRM, and report on it monthly. Every deal, every stage, every next step. If it is not in the CRM, it did not happen.
• Win your own deals on top, if you like. Referral partners, business events and your own network in KL and the Klang Valley. A client you find yourself pays you more.

What Good Looks Like Each Month

Who We're Looking For

• 3 or more years in B2B sales or business development in Malaysia, pitching both SME owners and larger companies, ideally for marketing, agency or media services.
• A record of closing monthly retainers with SMEs, with real deals you can walk us through: who, how much, and how you found them.
• Excellent written and spoken English. Your proposals, your emails and your pitch are all in it.
• Mandarin or Bahasa Malaysia is a plus.
• Based in Kuala Lumpur or the Klang Valley. You will be in front of owners, partners and event rooms every week.
• You would rather be paid for what you close than for turning up.

What You Get

• RM4,000 a month basic, so you are not living on commission while your first deals close.
• RM1,500 for every new client you close, paid when their first invoice is paid. From your 3rd new client in a month, RM3,000 each.
• Uncapped commission on top, on what each new client pays in their first 12 months: 8% if they came from our own campaigns, 10% if you found them, 5% if we close them together.
• Commission is paid every month as the client pays. If a client pays a lump sum upfront, you get your share of it all at once.
• A client paying us RM8,000 a month pays you RM1,500, then RM640 a month for a year. Sign 2 a month and you would be on about RM14,700 a month by your 6th month. That is our target for you, not a guarantee.
• Warm leads. Our Malaysia campaigns bring in 2 to 3 enquiries a day, and we share them with you, on top of the meetings you book yourself. Need more? We turn up the ad spend.
• Many enquiries come with a custom audit of their own website already built, so you open the call with their numbers.
• Written guarantees behind what you sell.
• A permanent, full-time role. From your 3rd month, once you are confirmed, you are employed in Malaysia with EPF, SOCSO and EIS.
• Remote most days. In person for prospect meetings, partner visits and events, in Kuala Lumpur or the Klang Valley.
• You report to Jim Ng, our founder. No middle layer, no politics, no three-week wait for a decision.
