About MonkyVision:
MonkyVision Creative Solutions is a fast-growing creative digital marketing agency helping global brands through design, animation, video production, content, and digital growth strategies. We operate with an elite-team mindset built on ownership, honest communication, continuous learning, and measurable performance.
Role Overview:
We are hiring a Sales & Business Development Specialist to own the complete client acquisition journey - from identifying opportunities through Upwork, outbound outreach, referrals, website enquiries, networking, and partnerships to discovery, proposals, negotiation, closure, and sales-to-project handover. The role will represent MonkyVision as a company ambassador and build a documented, technology-enabled 365-day sales engine.
Key Responsibilities:
- Upwork Account Management: Find relevant projects, manage daily bidding, write personalised proposals, handle messages and interviews, coordinate pricing and agreements, and track proposals, contracts, reviews, and revenue.
- International Lead Generation: Generate qualified opportunities across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, Singapore, UAE, New Zealand, and other relevant markets using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, Clutch, Crunchbase, Fiverr, directories, communities, and emerging platforms.
- Full-Cycle Sales: Research decision-makers, run personalised outreach, qualify leads, conduct discovery calls, prepare proposals, negotiate, close deals, and complete a smooth sales-to-project handover.
- Referrals & Partnerships: Build referral opportunities through clients, professional contacts, freelancers, agencies, and strategic partners; maintain partner records and coordinate approved referral arrangements.
- Brand Ambassador & Networking: Represent MonkyVision professionally and attend relevant networking events, business meetups, conferences, workshops, webinars, and industry communities. Build relationships, present the company's capabilities, and complete structured post-event follow-ups.
- Website Lead Management: Monitor forms, consultation requests, emails, and website enquiries; respond promptly, qualify each lead, and maintain accurate source, status, next-action, and conversion records.
- 365-Day Sales Engine & SOPs: Build a year-round sales plan covering daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly activity. Document SOPs, playbooks, templates, scripts, checklists, follow-up sequences, proposal formats, objection handling, and handover processes.
- Automation & Technology: Use CRM, AI, automation, and no-code tools for research, enrichment, outreach, reminders, follow-ups, integrations, and reporting while keeping communication personalised and human.
- Reporting & Improvement: Maintain an accurate pipeline and communication history; prepare weekly and monthly dashboards; track outreach, calls, proposals, conversions, pipeline value, and revenue; improve the system using performance data and market feedback.
Requirements:
Experience & Skills:
- 3-6 years of business development or sales experience in a startup, creative/digital agency, or service business.
- Proven Upwork bidding, client communication, and complete sales-cycle experience.
- Experience acquiring international clients, including markets such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, Singapore, and UAE.
- Strong knowledge of multi-platform lead generation, proposals, negotiation, reporting, and closing.
- Experience creating sales trackers, SOPs, playbooks, dashboards, and repeatable workflows.
- Understanding of digital marketing, SEO, performance marketing, design, animation, or video production.
- Familiarity with CRM, AI lead-generation, outreach, automation, and no-code integration tools.
- Excellent written and spoken English, strong follow-up skills, and willingness to attend relevant events and workshops.
Mindset & Creativity:
- Extreme Ownership: Independently plan, execute, solve problems, and take opportunities through to closure.
- Revenue Focus: Prioritise qualified opportunities, conversion, pipeline health, and measurable business results.
- System Builder: Create repeatable processes and maintain accurate CRM discipline instead of relying on memory.
- Technology-Enabled Thinking: Use AI and automation intelligently without outsourcing critical thinking or making communication robotic.
- Relationship Mindset: Build trust, partnerships, referral networks, and long-term commercial relationships.
Attitude:
- Persistent & Accountable: Follow up consistently and ensure every lead has a clear status, next action, and follow-up date.
- Analytical: Use reports and conversion data to improve decisions and performance.
- Professional Reliability: Respect deadlines and represent MonkyVision confidently in every interaction.
- Open to Feedback: Accept direct feedback and continuously refine processes and communication.
- Growth Mindset: Keep learning new markets, platforms, tools, and sales strategies.
Key Performance Indicators:
- Qualified leads and discovery calls generated
- Proposals submitted and deals closed
- Monthly sales pipeline and revenue generated
- Upwork, website, and referral lead conversion
- Follow-up completion and CRM accuracy
- 365-day sales-plan execution, including SOPs, automation, and networking activities
Benefits & Perks:
- Permanent work-from-home role
- Full-time stability
- Reporting directly to the founder
- Clear career growth opportunities
- Exposure to international clients
- Freedom to test AI-powered sales strategies
- Continuous learning and skill development
Closing:
This is not a role limited to bidding or collecting leads. We are looking for someone who can independently create opportunities, represent MonkyVision with confidence, and take qualified prospects through to closure.
If you require constant hand-holding, avoid accountability, or prefer simply completing assigned activity without owning outcomes, this role will not be the right fit. If you are resourceful, persistent, technology-enabled, and ready to build a repeatable international sales engine, we would like to hear from you.
