Founding programme · US sales team

What if you'd joined HubSpot before anyone had heard of HubSpot?

Not when there were thousands of salespeople. Before the playbook. Before the mature territories. Before everybody knew what it was. That's the kind of moment we're hiring for. Landing Platform is one operating system replacing the software businesses have accumulated over the last decade — and we're looking for a very small number of exceptional American salespeople to take it into the US.

Hi, I'm Tait, founder of Pivotal and Landing Platform. I'm looking for a very small number of exceptional salespeople to help us launch Landing in the US.

This isn't a normal AE job. There's no salary, and I'm deliberately looking for people who are excited by that rather than put off by it. Our founding licence is worth $132,000 over two years. Close one and we'll pay you $10,000. Close two, that's $20,000 — and there's no cap.

But the reason I think this is really interesting isn't just the commission. We've spent years building Landing to run our own business, and now it covers 44 features across 11 categories. And we're at the point where we're taking the platform properly to market.

So I'm looking for people who want to get in at the beginning, to help us work out how we win in America — and potentially become a much bigger part of what we're building.

Have a look at Landing Platform below. And if you look at the product, look at the commercial opportunity and think “I could absolutely sell this” — then I want to hear from you.

First things first

You should probably see what you'd be selling.

Most sales roles ask you to take the product on trust. Go and look at ours before you decide whether you want to carry it.

44
Features, each a real product — not a thin add-on
11
Categories, from CRM to HR to experimentation
1
Login, one data layer, one source of truth
~40
Disconnected tools it replaces

CRM. Marketing. Sales. Projects. HR. Analytics. Automation. Content. Invoicing. A/B testing. One subscription.

Today a business stitches those together with dozens of subscriptions and a layer of integrations that breaks quietly. Landing puts them on one data layer, so Page → Form → Lead → Deal → Order → Fulfilment connects automatically. That sentence is the whole pitch, and it is the thing no competitor can answer without naming four other vendors.
And now

We're bringing it to America.

We're not building a hundred-person sales floor. We're looking for the first few people — the ones who want to be here while the playbook is still being written.

01 · The product exists

You're not selling an idea.

There is a shipped platform, an established development team, real infrastructure and paying clients running their businesses on it today. You are not being asked to pre-sell a roadmap.

02 · The playbook doesn't

You'll help write it.

You'll hear the objections before they become FAQs, and you'll work directly with the people building the product — not through three layers of enablement.

03 · And then

This gets much bigger.

If you're one of the people who proves Landing can be sold in America, we're interested in something considerably larger than keeping you a freelance closer forever.

The line card

Two ways into an account.

A whole-platform licence for the businesses ready to move everything, and a single-engine licence for the ones that aren't yet. You don't have one thing to sell — you have a land-and-expand route.

Vanguard licence · the repeatable one

One engine, complete.

$1,500– $2,000 / month
  • Five engines to sell: Marketing, Sales, Operations and People at $1,500/mo; Growth — the optimisation layer — at $2,000/mo.
  • Ten seats per engine, so this is the volume half of your number.
  • Same two-year term, same founding cohort, same direct line to the team that builds it.
  • A team can start with one engine and add a second or third whenever they want — your expansion story is built into the pricing.
Two-year contract value $36,000 – $48,000 · onboarding $1,250
Founding licence · the rare one

The entire platform.

$5,500/ month
  • Everything. All five engines and every other feature, unlimited seats, no per-seat fees ever.
  • Monthly feature requests built for them by name, same-day SLA on any bug, priority VIP support.
  • White-glove migration off their whole stack, and grandfathered preferential pricing for life.
  • Ten seats, ever — worldwide, across the entire programme. Eight are still open. When they're gone the price goes up, permanently, and the deals get considerably larger.
Two-year contract value $132,000 · onboarding $2,500, waived
Both are 24-month initial agreements, so a signature is a two-year commitment rather than a monthly subscription somebody cancels in week six. That is why the discovery call matters more here than the demo.
The part you actually scrolled for

Ten thousand dollars. One founding licence.

This is a 100% performance-based position. There is no salary, and that is deliberate — we would rather pay a serious number to somebody exceptional than a comfortable salary for average performance.

The founding guarantee

$10,000 per founding licence closed.

Not a percentage you have to work out. Not a number that moves with the deal. Close a founding licence — $5,500 a month on a 24-month agreement, $132,000 of contract value — and you are paid ten thousand dollars. Every one.

Seats still open
8
On the table
$80,000

Eight of the ten founding seats are unsold. That is the whole world, not a territory. Every agreement is subject to credit checks on the signatories and our standard due diligence. Commission is paid once the contract is signed and the first payment has cleared into our bank.

What could you earn?

We're not going to advertise a fictional OTE.

Your earnings depend on what you close. But the arithmetic is deliberately simple.

1 a month
$120,000
2 a month
$240,000
3 a month
$360,000
4 a month
$480,000

A year of commission, on founding licences alone. Vanguard licences earn on top, and we will add performance accelerators for exceptional quarterly performance. There is no ceiling on any of it.

Close one and you earn $10,000. Close two, $20,000. Close four, $40,000.

No cap, no territory ceiling, no commission pool shared across a team, and no OTE built on a number almost nobody reaches. You close it, you earn it — on any agreement that clears credit checks, due diligence and the law that governs it. Two of the ten founding seats are gone; selling the remaining eight is the near-term job, and then the interesting part starts, because the price of the same platform goes up.
And then the price goes up

The founding ten are the door, not the ceiling.

Ten businesses get the whole platform at $5,500 a month, and eight of those seats are still open. Once they're gone the same product sells at $20,000 a month — the same conversation, the same demo, the same close, against a contract nearly four times the size.

Today · the volume

Vanguard licence

Teams of 5–20
$1,500– $2,000 / mo

The team that wants one department fixed before it moves everything. One engine at a time, five to choose from — this is where your pipeline stays busy while the bigger deals work.

Contract value $36,000 – $48,000 over the term
Right now · eight left

Founding licence

Teams of 10–40
$5,500/ month

The entire platform, unlimited seats, a say in the roadmap. A business this size is already paying roughly $5,500 a month in subscriptions, so you are not asking it to spend more — you are asking it to spend the same and stop reconciling.

Contract value $132,000 · $10,000 to you, guaranteed
After the ten · the book

Standard licence

Teams of 60–100
$20,000/ month

A 60-person business is already spending about $22,000 a month on disconnected subscriptions — at 100 people it is closer to $34,000. Our own calculator says so, publicly. At $20,000 for one connected platform with no per-seat fees, you are not asking for a budget increase.

$240,000 a year, per client

Same pitch. Nearly four times.

Every one of those subscription figures comes from the cost calculator on our own home page, which any prospect can drag for themselves — per-seat spend that climbs with every hire, against one price that doesn't. Run the numbers a prospect will run →
Who we're looking for

We care less about your CV than you think.

Maybe you've sold SaaS. Maybe ERP, CRM or digital transformation. Maybe you've spent five years selling something we've never heard of. Fine. We care considerably less about where you've worked than what you have actually sold.

  • You run an exceptional discovery call.

    You can understand a business quickly and sell the outcome rather than the feature list.

  • You're comfortable with founders and CEOs.

    A five- or six-figure buying decision doesn't change how you speak, and you can navigate the people around it.

  • You handle an objection like a person.

    Not like someone working through a memorised objection-handling script.

  • You create urgency without manufacturing it.

    And then you close.

✦ The honest version
Don't apply if
  • You need a guaranteed salary.
  • You need somebody to motivate you.
  • You think closing means applying pressure until somebody surrenders.
  • You'll represent Landing alongside twelve other “opportunities”.
  • You're uncomfortable discussing a six-figure decision with the person whose money it is.
  • The words “commission only” scare you more than “$10,000 commission” excites you.
This will be difficult. That is precisely why the upside exists.

There's a real company behind this.

Landing Platform is built by Pivotal, a UK digital agency working in marketing, technology, digital experience and innovation. We built the platform to run our own business, and we run our own seven-figure agency on it every day. This is not two people with a prototype looking for somebody to somehow sell it.

See the posted role
Before you ask

The questions we'd ask too.

The process starts differently

If you're very good, we should talk.

No 800-word cover letter. No “where do you see yourself in five years?” We'd rather see evidence — tell us what you've closed, and how.

Tell us

Your biggest close. What you sold, and what you personally did to win it.

And

Your best ever commission month. The number, not a range.

Then record

Three minutes, maximum, answering one question: why should you be one of the first people to sell Landing Platform in America?
