Responsibilities
- Manage daily outbound sales activities through LinkedIn, email, and phone, targeting regional corporate groups and brands that require content production and branding services, such as [placeholder], [placeholder], [placeholder], and similar companies.
- Actively engage with the local business community, including participating in Dubai startup events to attract potential clients seeking high-quality promotional videos for Instagram.
- Bring potential clients to the studio and convert their interest into actual projects and orders, including Reels, commercials, and series.
- Collaborate closely with the Social Media Manager and Creative Director to define our service offerings and how we package and present them to potential clients.
- Take full ownership of the client portfolio, managing the sales pipeline, follow-ups, client retention, and achieving collaboratively agreed-upon KPIs.
- Leverage the business networks of the project owners and the Head of Studio to generate referrals and introductions to potential clients to ensure a consistent flow of high-quality networking opportunities.
- Develop relationships with content creators, including YouTubers and influencers, either as potential clients or as promotional partners for the studio, provided the collaboration makes commercial sense.

Requirements
- A true hunter—enjoys proactive sales activities such as making calls, reaching out to prospects, following up, and initiating new business conversations.
- Experience in media or advertising sales is highly desirable; however, personal qualities and commercial drive are prioritized over the CV.
- Strong commercial acumen with the ability to distinguish prospects with genuine buying intent from those lacking it during initial conversations, and the courage to walk away from deals that do not make financial sense.
- Highly organized; the client database must always be up to date, with clearly defined next steps for every lead, whether managed through a CRM or personal tracking system.
- A strong sense of ownership and accountability for results; treats stalled or fallen-through deals as their responsibility, proactively finding solutions and moving things forward, even during internal delays.
