HelloNation | CGI Digital

Sales Executive

Sell trust. Build authority. Get there first.

HelloNation is hiring accomplished salespeople to sell something the digital marketing industry can't copy. Not SEO, PPC, or the latest AEO/GEO acronym. We sell Edvertising, a proprietary platform that makes local businesses the trusted, credible authority in their market. As consumers lean on AI, search, and reviews to decide who to trust, being found isn't enough anymore. Businesses need to be believed. That's the conversation you'll own.

What You're Selling

Edvertising combines expert educational content, video, third-party credibility, PR, and strategic local distribution into one authority-building platform. Instead of a client saying "trust us, we're the best," we prove why they deserve to be trusted.

Because HelloNation offers category exclusivity in each market, whoever moves first owns it, and their competitors are locked out. As the only company in the U.S. delivering this model, you're usually the first conversation of its kind an owner has had, not the fifth vendor pitching the same thing. The story sells itself, so your energy goes into building relationships and closing.

The Opportunity

This role is for a high performer who wants to own their results and build a real book of business. You'll develop your market, generate your own opportunities, and drive revenue through strategic partnerships. Candidates who come in with existing small business relationships will create early momentum, accelerate their pipeline, and close business faster in the first 30-60 days.

You won't be building that credibility from scratch. HelloNation's strategic partnerships open doors faster and lend instant legitimacy the moment you reach out. These include national partnerships with the United States Conference of Mayors, the National League of Cities, National Association of Counties, and the U.S. First Responders Association; professional associations such as the Better Business Bureau, New York State Chiropractic Association, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, among many more.

What You'll Do

  • Prospect, pitch, and close local business owners and executives on the HelloNation platform
  • Build your book from scratch through outbound, networking, and referrals, then activate existing relationships fast
  • Generate and maintain your own pipeline, consistently hitting activity and revenue targets.
  • Turn closed clients into long-term, renewing relationships

Who We're Looking For

This is not an entry-level seat. We want competitive, high-output closers who can sit across from a successful business owner and lead a strategic conversation with confidence.

You're likely a fit if you bring:

  • A proven record in B2B or transactional sales with a short (1-2 call) close cycle and recurring revenue
  • A true hunter mentality, with the ability to build a book of business from nothing
  • The ability to sell a concept and a competitive advantage, not a commodity, through storytelling and scenario-based selling
  • Self motivated, grit, coachability, and the resilience to reset fast after a no
  • A competitive background in sales, sports, military, or another high-performance arena
  • Media, advertising, or agency experience preferred, but not require

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary range $50,000 to $65,000 plus 10% commission
  • On Target Earnings can range from $100-350k for top performers
  • Opportunity for monthly and performance-based bonuses
  • Featured Benefits: Medical insurance, Vision insurance, Dental insurance, 401(k), Paid family leave

A strong foundation, aggressive reward for new revenue, and lasting income for the relationships you build.

If you want to sell something different, build recurring income, and get in early, let's talk.

Skills Required

  • Proven record in B2B or transactional sales with a short one- to two-call close cycle and recurring revenue
  • Ability to build a book of business from nothing through outbound prospecting, networking, and referrals
  • Ability to sell concepts and competitive advantages through storytelling and scenario-based selling
  • Self-motivated, gritty, coachable, and resilient after rejection
  • Competitive background in sales, sports, military, or another high-performance arena
  • Existing small business relationships
  • Media, advertising, or agency experience
