Dann lies weiter. Ich bin Julien, Gründer von Vertriebspilot (KI-Agentur für den DACH-Mittelstand). Jeden Kunden habe ich selbst kalt am Telefon gewonnen.

A&R Outbound Sales Executive
Liberty Music PRLiberty Music PR empower musicians offering press, playlisting, TikTok, radio and YouTube services.
Role Description We're looking for a natural-born seller — someone who's competitive, target-driven, and thrives on closing deals — to join us as an A&R Outbound Sales Representative on a remote, freelance (self-employed) basis. This is a sales-first role: you'll be prospecting, pitching, and closing new business every single day. No music industry background is required — what matters is that you know how to find opportunity, get someone on the phone, and close. - Prospect and Qualify — Build your own pipeline from scratch using platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and social media to identify and evaluate potential clients. - Pitch and Close — Run outbound outreach and pitch calls, and close deals with artists, labels, and managers. This is a quota-driven role — you'll be expected to hit monthly targets consistently. - Handle Objections — Confidently navigate pushback on price and value, and know how to move a prospect from hesitation to a signed deal. - Manage Your Own Pipeline — Keep your CRM accurate and up to date, track your own numbers, and manage your day like a business owner. - Client Relationship Management — Once a deal is closed, serve as the main point of contact, ensuring client satisfaction and setting up future/repeat business. - Team Coordination — Communicate client needs and campaign details to the team to ensure smooth delivery. - Stay Sharp — Keep learning about what's working in press, radio, playlisting, and TikTok so you can sell smarter, not harder. Qualifications - Minimum 2 years of proven sales experience — ideally outbound, cold-calling, or lead-generation heavy; commission-based sales experience is a strong plus. - A genuine track record of hitting or exceeding targets — be ready to talk numbers. - Comfortable bringing up price early and closing without hand-holding. - Resilient and thick-skinned — you can take rejection and keep dialing. - Self-motivated and able to run your own day with no manager looking over your shoulder. - Strong communication skills — you can build rapport fast and read a room (or a call) quickly. - CRM experience is a plus. - An interest in or appreciation for music is a bonus, not a requirement — we can teach you the industry; we can't teach you how to close. - Based in the UK and Ireland. Requirements - Uncapped Commissions — your earning potential is limitless. - Incentives for Exceeding Target — the harder you close, the more you earn. - Remote & Flexible — work from anywhere, on your own schedule. - Supportive Team Environment — daily huddles, team support, and real career progression (including senior/permanent AR positions for top performers). - Fun, Competitive Culture — competitions, outings, and company events. - Aligned Values — Communication, Results-Driven, Transparency, Accountability, Positivity and Resilience, and Empathy.
