# Freelance Sales (Business Developer)

Sales · Rotterdam (hybrid) · Freelance · Your own hours · Commission per closed deal

**We build the AI. You close the deal.**

AI agents and automations for mid-market companies in the Netherlands and Belgium. We make the target list and bring in leads. You call, book the meetings and close.

Freelance · NL & BE · No commission cap

## Your week

You plan your own week. It is built around four things.

- **Calling**: You call the directors on the target list we make, and the leads we bring in.
- **Discovery calls**: You book them and run them: where does the team lose time, and can AI solve it?
- **Proposals**: You send the proposal and follow it up.
- **Follow-up**: You stay on it until there is a yes or a no.

## What you do

We bring the product. You bring the deals.

1. We make the target list: the companies and directors to approach. We also bring in leads. You call those directors and leads yourself and book the discovery calls.
2. We bring the product, and the cases that show what it delivers. You run the discovery call, send the proposal and follow it up.
3. Our team builds it. The first agent is live within 2 to 4 weeks. You close the deal.

## Requirements

A hunter who likes the phone.

You:

- Have a track record in B2B sales or new business, selling to owners and directors.
- Know your numbers: your best deal, your average deal size, your close rate.
- Pick up the phone, also for a cold call.
- Follow up until there is a yes or a no.
- Are registered as self-employed, with the KvK in the Netherlands or the KBO in Belgium.
- Like AI. You need no technical knowledge: we explain the projects and our team builds them.
- Speak French as well? That helps in Belgium.

Not for you if:

- You’d rather have a fixed salary than an open ceiling.
- You would rather send an email than call.
- You let follow-up slide.
- Your Dutch is not fluent.

## Who we are

What’s Next builds AI that companies use every day.

We build AI agents, automations and custom AI software. The first agent is live within 2 to 4 weeks, and the code belongs to the client.

Our clients are mid-market companies: wholesalers, online retailers, caterers and agencies. Below are results you can show the companies you call.

## What you earn

Commission on every deal you close.

You earn commission on one-off projects, on trainings and on retainers, where a client keeps working with us month after month.

You work freelance, so you set your own hours.

### Calculate what you earn

- One-off projects closed per month: 2
- Retainers closed per month: 1
- Trainings sold per month: 1
- Estimated commission per month: €5,500
- Per year, at this pace: €66,000

Based on an average project, an average training of €2,500 and an average retainer that runs at least six months.

## Apply

Apply in three steps. We are looking for 1 to 2 people.

1. Fill in the form with your numbers: your best deal, your average deal size and your close rate.
2. A half-hour call to go through them.
3. A meeting with Axel.
