Overview
Proton Technologies Limited is looking for an independent, commission-based Business Development Representative to help expand our client base in the United States.
We design and develop custom business software and professional websites around the specific needs of each client. Rather than selling standardized software packages, you will identify businesses that could benefit from a new website, improved digital presence, or a purpose-built internal system and introduce them to Proton.
This is a 100% commission-based contract role with no base salary and uncapped earning potential. You will have substantial flexibility over when, where, and how you prospect for new business.
Your focus is sales. Proton handles technical evaluation, project scoping, development, deployment, and ongoing client support.
What You’ll Do
- Prospect for new business clients throughout the U.S. through networking, direct outreach, referrals, local business relationships, cold outreach, and other appropriate sales channels.
- Identify businesses that may benefit from professional website development or custom business software.
- Speak with prospective clients to understand their business, current challenges, and what they are trying to accomplish.
- Clearly explain Proton’s services and value proposition in business-friendly terms.
- Develop relationships with business owners and decision-makers.
- Introduce qualified custom-software opportunities to Proton for technical review and project scoping.
- Work with Proton to establish the approved scope and minimum project price before presenting final pricing for custom-system projects.
- Negotiate project pricing and close new client engagements.
- Maintain clear records of prospects, active opportunities, and completed sales.
- Coordinate with Proton during the handoff from sales to project delivery.
Compensation
This position is 100% commission-based with no base salary.
For each approved project, Proton establishes the minimum amount required for project delivery. Representatives may negotiate a higher final project price with the client, subject to Proton’s approval.
The approved amount above Proton’s minimum project price is paid to the representative as commission.
Example
If Proton establishes a minimum project price of $1,500 and you successfully close the project for $2,200, the $700 approved difference is your commission.
There is no predetermined cap on commission earnings.
Commission applies to the initial project sale only. Monthly hosting, maintenance, support, subscriptions, and other recurring service charges are not commissionable.
Commission is paid according to the terms of the sales agreement after the applicable client payment has been successfully collected.
What You’ll Sell
Website Design & Development
Custom professional websites designed around each client’s business, brand, customers, and goals.
Website projects can range from simple informational websites to larger projects involving custom functionality, integrations, or more extensive development.
Custom Business Systems
Purpose-built software designed around a company’s workflows, processes, and operational requirements.
Examples may include internal workflow tools, customer or order management systems, dashboards, quoting systems, reporting tools, portals, and business integrations.
Custom Business Systems opportunities require technical review and approval by Proton before final scope, pricing, or delivery timelines may be promised to a client.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.
- Confidence speaking with business owners, managers, and other decision-makers.
- Ability to independently prospect and develop new business.
- Understanding of B2B sales and the ability to identify genuine business needs.
- Comfortable discussing websites, software, business systems, and technology at a practical level.
- Ability to explain technical concepts clearly without unnecessary jargon.
- Organized and capable of managing multiple prospects independently.
- Professional judgment when discussing pricing, scope, and client expectations.
- Reliable communication with both clients and the Proton team.
Previous B2B sales, outside sales, business development, technology sales, web services, SaaS, or professional-services experience is preferred but not required for the right candidate.
You do not need to be a software developer. However, general technical literacy and an interest in understanding how businesses use technology are valuable.
