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 win 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.

You find the business, earn the meeting, 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, and book your own meetings on top. If you can do both, this is your role.

What You'll Do

✓Find your own prospects. Build the lead lists, research each account and write outreach that shows you read their business, because you did.
✓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.
✓Follow up the campaign enquiries passed to you within one working day. Not two. An enquiry that waits goes cold.
✓Build referral partners in KL and the Klang Valley. Accountants, consultants, industry associations and chambers who send business owners your way.
✓Represent us at Malaysian business events. In the room, where the owners are.
✓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.

What Good Looks Like Each Month

Three numbers, every month. We look at them together.

Who We're Looking For

✓3 or more years in B2B sales or business development in Malaysia, ideally selling marketing, agency or media services to business owners.
✓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.

What You Get

✓RM4,000 a month basic, so you are not living on commission while your first deals close.
✓Uncapped commission on every new client you sign, on top of your basic: 10% of what they pay in their first 12 months if you found them, 5% if they came from our own campaigns and we closed 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.
✓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.
✓A permanent, full-time role, 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.
