Looking for a salesperson partner for Video Translation Agency

Love the idea and the 50% recurring commission is generous!

I am happy to share details

Hi Javi! Have you been running the outreach yourself and now want to scale, or are you looking for someone to run it for the first time?

From my experience, founder-led sales is often the best way to start. As the founder, you know the offering & value prop best, and those early outreach convos give insights you wouldn’t get if it were outsourced.

That said, I recently helped another startup doing outreach to YouTubers, and we built a neat feature for it:

• YouTube Search > find relevant channels by topic + subscriber filters
• Grab emails
• Run a simple email sequence with follow-ups

So it’s like what @sinkol mentioned (lead gen → outreach → follow-ups), but lighter weight and purpose-built for this exact workflow.

One thing I’d add: it’s usually best not to start with “scaling” or “automation.” Doing the first few manually helps you nail the right message and ICP before burning through leads at scale.

Happy to share more if this is still relevant :)

Hola Javier, cómo estás? YouTube ya te da de forma automática el subtitulado y el doblaje (está expandiendo hacia más y más creadores). ¿Cómo planeas hacer frente a eso? Saludos!

Hey Javi, I'm interested.

Hey Javi,

That's a sharp business model. Leveraging AI for the heavy lifting on translation and keeping a human in the loop for quality control is definitely the right way to build a tech-enabled agency.

The hunt for a great salesperson is always a tough one for technical founders. But it might be useful to reframe the problem slightly. Instead of looking for a single 'sales partner' to handle everything from A-Z, think about building a scalable sales system first.

What if you broke the salesperson's role down into a series of automatable tasks, each handled by its own digital agent?

For example:

1. A 'Lead Generation Agent': An automated system that constantly scrapes sources like YouTube or podcast directories to find creators in your niche who fit your ideal customer profile (e.g., have over 50k subs, but don't have multilingual content yet). This agent's only job is to build a constant stream of qualified leads and put them in a spreadsheet or CRM.

2. An 'Outreach Agent': Another agent takes that list and automatically sends personalized cold emails. You can A/B test different subject lines and value propositions at scale without any manual work.

3. A 'Follow-up Agent': This one is crucial. It automatically follows up with leads who haven't responded after 3 days, 7 days, etc. This is the part of the process where most manual sales efforts fail due to lack of consistency.

By building this automated system, you're creating a machine that brings you qualified, warm conversations. At that point, your job (or the job of a future partner) is no longer about tedious cold outreach; it's about the high-value task of hopping on calls with creators who have already shown interest.

It also makes finding a partner much easier, because you're not asking them to build a sales process from scratch; you're inviting them to come in and manage a lead-generation machine that's already running.

Building the system before you hire the person can be a total game-changer. Good luck with the search!
