About GSD Associates

GSD Associates helps B2B SaaS founders fix their sales process and grow revenue. We work with companies from about $500K to $10M+ in ARR as their fractional VP of Sales, and we run focused engagements like our 30-Day Sales Sprint and Sales Audit to find exactly where deals are leaking and fix it fast.

About me

I'm Mike Flournoy, founder of GSD Associates. I was the first employee at a fleet software company that scaled to a $100M acquisition, and I helped build that sales engine from scratch. Today I'm also the Chief Commercial Officer at QuickManage, where we tripled revenue in 7 months. Since starting GSD in 2022, I've helped SaaS founders across the country build sales teams that actually produce.

I'm not looking for someone who already knows everything. I'm looking for someone hungry who wants to learn sales the right way, from someone who has done it, and help me grow this business along the way.

What you'll do

• Research target companies and decision makers for GSD and our clients
• Build and run outbound campaigns on LinkedIn and email using tools like HeyReach, Smartlead, and HubSpot
• Make calls and book discovery meetings
• Sit in on real sales calls and client strategy sessions
• Keep our CRM clean and track pipeline
• Help create content, case studies, and sales materials

What you'll learn

• How to prospect and book meetings with founders and executives
• How to run a discovery call and handle objections
• How B2B SaaS sales teams are actually built and managed
• The tools and systems modern sales teams run on
• How to think like a business owner, not just a rep

How you get paid

This starts as a commission-based internship. You earn commission on every deal you source. You book the meeting, we close it, you get paid.

The path to a paid role

This internship is a 90-day tryout with a clear finish line. Hit your targets (10+ qualified meetings booked plus pipeline sourced) and you earn a paid sales role with a base salary plus commission. No vague promises. Perform and the job is yours.

Who I'm looking for

• Hungry, coachable, and competitive
• Comfortable talking to people, including senior executives
• A strong writer who can send a message people actually want to reply to
• Organized and reliable. You do what you say you will do.
• Interested in a career in sales, startups, or SaaS
• Students, recent grads, and career changers are all welcome
• Based in or near Charlotte, NC

The details

• Part-time, about 15 to 25 hours per week with a flexible schedule
