Sell digital marketing growth services (via retainers) — but the first sale is a free, deep diagnostic. We don’t prescribe treatment before we diagnose.

Business owners hear marketing promises every day. We start by showing them where their business is losing opportunities—and what we would do about it.

We look for areas where significant improvements are possible, alongside smaller improvements that can compound into a material (and often massive) uplift in performance.

The Compounding Method is a performance marketing agency focused on patient, customer and client acquisition. We combine paid media management, landing page and website development, conversion rate optimization, SEO, GEO/AEO, lead-to-sale conversion improvement, CRM strategy, AOV and LTV optimization and sophisticated attribution and measurement to help businesses grow.

Our founder is a serial entrepreneur with hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising spend under his belt—and the expertise to help other businesses accomplish their goals.

We’re looking for an experienced salesperson to turn qualified conversations into ongoing agency relationships.

How we sell

Qualified prospects receive a complimentary deep-dive growth diagnostic and prioritized improvement plan before deciding whether to hire us.

They can act on the findings themselves, use another provider or engage us to execute. The idea is that once they see the detail in our findings and the common-sense approach we take, the way forward becomes clear.

Your job is to understand the owner’s goals, qualify the opportunity, guide the conversation and help suitable clients move forward with a retainer.

We diagnose before we prescribe. Then we measure, test and improve across dozens of relevant variables in the client’s business.

What you’ll do

\n
• Build and manage a pipeline of prospective agency clients.
\n
• Prospect through email, phone, LinkedIn and your own professional network.
\n
• Respond to opportunities generated through our outreach and referral efforts.
\n
• Run discovery calls covering business goals, current marketing, budget, capacity and decision-making.
\n
• Work with our founder and delivery team to connect diagnostic findings to a practical proposal.
\n
• Present recommendations, handle objections, follow up and close.
\n
• Keep CRM records and next actions current.
\n
• Hand new clients over to the delivery team with clear expectations.
\n

What we’re building to support you

We’re developing a sales support process that includes:

\n
• Researched prospect lists and contact enrichment.
\n
• Dedicated BDR outreach support—effectively your own full-time prospecting assistant, so you can spend more time pitching and closing.
\n
• Pre-call prospect research and diagnostic findings , so you have specific opportunities to discuss before you ever speak with a prospect.
\n
• Relevant landing pages and CRM tracking to support outreach and follow-up.
\n

You’ll work directly with the founder on all early opportunities and receive support on strategy, scoping and proposals.

This is an early-stage sales operation. The pipeline and support process are being built, and success will require proactive prospecting alongside company-supported opportunities.

Our delivery team handles client execution. Your focus is winning suitable business.

Who will do well here

You have experience selling digital marketing, agency retainers or comparable recurring B2B services.

You can discuss business outcomes with owners, ask useful questions and follow through consistently. You understand enough about paid media, SEO, websites and conversion to connect a business problem to the right specialist. We’ll provide training to deepen that knowledge to an advanced level.

You should be comfortable creating opportunities as well as closing them. An existing network in healthcare, dental, home services or another service-business vertical is valuable.

We care more about evidence of how you sell than a particular degree or job title.

Compensation

This is a commission-only role with no base salary.

\n
• Company-sourced opportunities you close: 15% of collected agency retainer fees.
\n
• Opportunities you independently source and close: 20% of collected agency retainer fees.
\n
• Referral-partner-sourced opportunities you close: 10% of collected agency retainer fees.
\n
• Commission duration: The client’s first 12 months, beginning with their first payment, while they remain a paying client.
\n
• Payment schedule: Monthly, by the 15th, for eligible client payments collected during the previous calendar month.
\n

Commissions exclude advertising spend, taxes and third-party pass-through costs. Full attribution and payment terms will be provided in writing before work begins.

Earnings depend on closed business, client payments and the agreed commission terms. There is no guaranteed income.

To apply

Apply through this listing or email View email address on ziprecruiter.com with your résumé or LinkedIn profile and a brief introduction. No cover letter required.

Tell us what services you’ve sold, the typical monthly retainer or contract value, and whether you personally sourced opportunities, closed them or both.

Please confirm that you understand this is a commission-only role with no base salary.

Relevant candidates will have a short introductory conversation with our team before meeting the founder. Come prepared to discuss a deal you personally won and how you would approach your first 30 days here.

Specific examples are more useful than a generic cover letter.
