now hiring · account directors

A sales job that pays you forever, for clients you actually care about.

No tech background. No quota whip. No upfront cost. You get a phone, a portal, and 35% of every monthly retainer you close — for as long as that client stays. This is the most generous commission structure in local SEO, and it's earned by being the relationship.

the truth

We're not hiring a sales team. We're building a fleet of Account Directors.

There's a difference. One is a body throwing dials at a quota. The other is a trusted local advisor with a book of business that pays them every month, even when they're not on the phone. We pay 35% lifetime because we hire for the second kind. Here's the contrast.

The Old Sales Job

Close the deal, hand it off, hunt the next.

─ 5-15% one-time commission. Maybe a 6-month trail at half.
─ Quota whip. Daily anxiety about hitting a number.
─ Account "passed" to a manager you never see again.
─ Churn punishes the next quarter, not the rep who oversold.
─ Burnout in 18 months. New script every cycle.

What We Built Instead

Close it, keep it, get paid every month for years.

+ 35% lifetime residual. Every month they stay, you earn.
+ You stay on the account. Monthly check-in, quarterly review, you deliver the report.
+ The technical team is invisible. You are the brand to the client.
+ Free site for the prospect first. You're never selling pressure.
+ Retention bonuses, milestone bumps, Director's Tier at 40%.

the math · honest version

Every client you keep adds a permanent line to your monthly check.

These are not best-case scenarios. These are conservative monthly residual figures assuming average plan mix and industry-standard retention. The numbers compound because the residuals don't reset.

scenario 01 · part-time 5 active clients · Tier 1 mix · 1–2 calls a day

$345/MO · $4,140/YR

scenario 02 · steady book 10 active clients · Tier 2 average · ~10 hrs/week

$2,090/MO · $25,080/YR

scenario 03 · full Director 20 active clients · Tier 2 average · 20 hrs/week

$4,180/MO · $50,160/YR

scenario 04 · top tier 10 active clients · Tier 3 average · high-ticket categories

$5,240/MO · $62,880/YR

All commissions paid on the 15th of each month. No clawbacks. No reductions for clients you closed last year. If they're still active, you're still paid. Plus bonuses: 5 closes/month = $500, 10/month = $1,500, any Tier 3 close = $250, 25 active with low churn = 40% rate on new closes.

8:00 – 8:30

Mindset & prepLook at your earnings board. Set today's target. Build your call list from Google Maps — the portal tells you which category to hunt today.

8:30 – 10:30

Prime call block #1The single most valuable block in your day. 30 dials. No email, no Slack, no social media. Decision-makers are fresh and in the office.

1:00 – 2:30

Follow-up blockAnyone who said "call me back" gets called. These convert at 3–5x cold rates. Treat this block like gold.

2:30 – 3:30

Intake & monthly check-insRun free site intakes for new agreements. Run 15-min monthly check-ins with your active clients. This is the Account Director part. The relationship is the business.

3:30 – 4:15

Log + tomorrow's listLog every call. Build tomorrow's prospect list. Update your earnings board. Write one sentence: what you'll do differently tomorrow.

who thrives here

Four kinds of people get rich doing this.

You don't need a sales background. You don't need a marketing degree. You need a phone, persistence, and one of these four temperaments.

The Builder

You like the idea of compounding income. Every "yes" is a brick in a wall you own forever. You'd rather have a slow-growing residual book than a flashy commission check that resets every month.

This is what you'd be selling. See it before you decide.

Richardson Bay Boatworks & Ways — a 100-year-old marine yard in Sausalito, California. They had a broken CMac.ws website, zero AI visibility, and a buried story (the historic Yankee schooner restoration) that nobody knew about. Here's what we built.

Before · Their Live Site

CMac.ws template. No schema. Not found on ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI.

A generic directory listing — no story, no schema markup, invisible to AI. When someone asked ChatGPT "best boat repair Sausalito" they didn't exist.

After · What We Built

Premium site + full AIO infrastructure. AI citations within 30 days.

Custom design, real photography, JSON-LD schema, AI-optimised copy, and an audit letter explaining every gap we found and fixed. This is the free site your prospect receives.

The letter is the close. Every prospect gets a custom audit at /report — plain language, specific findings, zero jargon. Read it. That's your pitch when someone asks "what exactly do you do?"

honest answers

The questions everyone asks before applying.

Do I need sales experience?

No. The four cold-calling scripts in the Field Manual are tuned so anyone with a phone and basic conversation skills can run them. We train more first-timers than experienced reps — they don't have bad habits to unlearn.

What does "lifetime residual" actually mean?

It means you earn 35% of the monthly retainer for as long as the client is paying. A client you close in January 2027 still pays you in January 2029 if they're still on the plan. There are no clawbacks, no trail caps, no expiration. The only way the residual ends is if the client cancels — and your job as Account Director is largely to make sure they don't.

What if a client cancels?

That residual line ends. You also stop being their Account Director. We don't punish you with clawbacks for previously-paid commissions, but you want to fight to keep every client because each one is a permanent line of income. Reps with 95%+ retention earn a $500 quarterly retention bonus.

Is this a multi-level marketing scheme?

No. There is no downline. You don't recruit anyone. You don't pay to participate. You don't pay for leads. There is one revenue stream: 35% of the retainers you personally close, paid by the company to you. Nothing else.

How do I get paid?

Direct deposit on the 15th of every month, for all active clients attributed to you in the prior month. Statement shows: active client list, plan tier per client, your 35% commission per client, bonuses earned, retention rate, and the total payout. Plain and verifiable.

What if I don't close anyone the first month?

That's actually normal. The Field Manual sets the first-month target at 5 free site agreements, not 5 paid closes. Free site agreements convert to paid retainers in the 30-day follow-up call, so the residual ramp begins in month two. Most Account Directors are at $1,500+/month residual by month 6 and $3,000+ by month 12 if they hold the daily discipline.

Where can I work from?

Anywhere with a phone and reliable internet. Most Account Directors work from home. Some prefer a coworking space for the energy. The portal is your office. We have Directors in three countries and seven US states.

What's the catch?

Honestly, the catch is that you have to actually call people. The math works mechanically if you make 60 dials a day for 90 days. Most people who fail at this don't fail because the product is wrong or the pay is unfair — they fail because they stop dialing. If picking up the phone every day for three months sounds like more than you want to do, this isn't for you. If it sounds like the price of building permanent monthly income, welcome.
