    Jpixx is hiring our first dedicated outbound sales hire to help us proactively grow new business.

    We’ve grown for over a decade through referrals and reputation. Now, we’re ready to build a more intentional outbound sales engine — and we’re looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, starting conversations, and selling creative solutions.

    This is not a marketing role and not an account manager role.

    This is a new business / hunter role.

    You’ll partner directly with the founders and production team to bring in new opportunities and help shape how we sell.

    _ This Role Is a Fit If You:_

    • Enjoy outbound prospecting and starting new conversations
    • Are comfortable building pipeline from scratch
    • Have experience selling services or ideas (creative, marketing, media, SaaS, consulting, etc.)
    • Like working in a small, collaborative environment
    • Want to help build something — not step into a rigid corporate system

    _ Core Responsibilities:_

    Outbound Prospecting & Lead Generation

    • Identify and reach out to potential commercial, nonprofit, and government clients
    • Use email, phone, LinkedIn, and networking to generate meetings
    • Build and manage an active pipeline

    Discovery & Sales Conversations

    • Lead discovery calls
    • Present Jpixx’s capabilities and approach clearly
    • Understand client goals and align creative solutions

    Proposal & Deal Support

    • Collaborate with producers and owners on project scope
    • Support proposals and estimates
    • Negotiate budgets and timelines
    • Close new business ethically and professionally

    Early Relationship Management

    • Maintain communication through kickoff
    • Ensure smooth handoff to production
    • Identify future or ongoing opportunities

    _ What You Will NOT Do:_

    • Run marketing campaigns
    • Manage video projects or creative teams
    • Handle operations or internal production logistics
    • Own long RFP writing alone

    Your focus is new business generation, not production.

  • Qualifications

    _ Required_

    • 1–5+ years in sales or business development
    • Experience selling services (not just products)
    • Comfortable with outbound outreach
    • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
    • Able to work independently and manage your own pipeline

    _ Nice to Have_

    • Experience with creative or video environments
    • Comfort with longer sales cycles
    • Familiarity with government or regulated industries

    Additional Information

    _ Compensation_

    • Base salary range: $50,000–$60,000 depending on experience
    • Commission is paid on new business and designed to grow meaningfully as relationships, deal size and momentum over time.
    • Commission structure and performance expectations discussed during early interview stages one-on-one.

    ** Location Requirement**

    This is a local, in-person role.

    Applicants must live in — or be willing to relocate to — the Hampton Roads / Virginia Beach area.
