Sales & Outreach Specialist (Remote – Part-Time Contract)
We're a boutique email marketing company that helps best-selling authors launch books, recording artists sell out tours, and brands turn their email lists into their most powerful sales channel. We ghostwrite email campaigns in our clients' voices — and the results speak for themselves: New York Times bestseller lists, sold-out concert venues across the country, and subscribers who actually open, click, and buy.
We're growing, and we need a Sales & Outreach Specialist to help us get in front of more authors, publishers, tour promoters, and brands who need what we do. This is a sales role. You'll be the engine that fills our pipeline — researching the right contacts, crafting personalized pitches, and following up relentlessly until we're meeting with the right people. You'll also build the systems that keep that pipeline moving so nothing falls through the cracks.
If you're a go-getter who thrives on outbound outreach, writes emails that people actually respond to, and doesn't need someone looking over your shoulder to get things done — keep reading.
What You'll Do
• Research and build targeted prospect lists of event planners, publishers, artist management teams, tour promoters, and brand partners who would benefit from strategic email marketing.
• Write and send personalized outreach emails that open doors. Not templates. Not mass blasts. Thoughtful, creative pitches that make people want to respond. You'll draft for our founder's review initially, and as trust is built, you'll send on her behalf.
• Own the follow-up. This is where most outreach falls apart — and where you'll set yourself apart. You'll manage a consistent follow-up cadence so that no lead goes cold because someone forgot to check back in. Persistence with professionalism, every single time.
• Build and maintain a clean, organized pipeline so we always know where every prospect stands. If spreadsheets and CRMs don't excite you, this isn't your role.
• Support logistics for speaking engagements as they're booked — coordinating contracts, travel details, tech specs, and post-event follow-up.
• Help systematize as we grow. We're building the infrastructure of a scaling company. You'll help create repeatable outreach processes, templates, and workflows that make us more efficient every month.
Who You Are
• You are an exceptional writer. This is non-negotiable. Your emails are clear, warm, and persuasive. You know the difference between a good subject line and a great one. If your writing is average, this is not the role for you.
• You have a sales mindset. You understand that outbound outreach is a numbers game and you are energized by that, not defeated by it. You don't take silence personally — you follow up.
• You are creative. We work with authors, musicians, and brands in the entertainment and direct sales space. You need to be able to craft outreach that feels fresh, relevant, and tailored to each prospect — not robotic and corporate.
• You pay obsessive attention to detail. A typo in a pitch email to a publisher is not a small mistake in our world. You proofread everything. You double-check names, titles, and company details before you hit send. Every. Single. Time.
• You are a self-starter who does not need to be micromanaged. You'll have 8–10 hours of work each week and significant autonomy in how you use that time. If you need daily check-ins and hand-holding to stay productive, this will not work.
• You are resourceful. When asked to find the right contact at a publishing house, a touring company, or a direct sales organization, you figure it out. LinkedIn, Google, industry directories — you know how to dig.
• You have a genuine interest in the creative industries — books, music, events, marketing. You don't have to be an expert, but if this world bores you, you won't last.
Bonus (Not Required, But We'll Notice)
• Experience in the publishing, music, or live events industry.
• Familiarity with CRMs like HubSpot, Honeybook, or a well-organized Airtable.
• Experience in outbound sales, business development, or partnership outreach.
The Details
• Hours: 8–10 hours per week. Flexible schedule — we care about output, not when you're sitting at your desk.
• Location: Fully remote.
• Compensation: $25–$30/hour depending on experience. This is a 1099 independent contractor position.
• Growth potential: We are actively scaling. For the right person, hours and responsibility will grow. This is a ground-floor opportunity with a company doing genuinely exciting work in the author, music, and events space.
