Seeking a salesperson to help me get customers for sif'd - a newly launched SaaS

I recently launched sifd.io (AKA "sif'd") - a platform that connects brands with content creators for promoting products and services. In particular, we focus on YouTube and Twitter.

I'm looking to hire some salespeople to help me find customers. I think email marketing and linkedin outreach could be good strategies, but I'm open to other tactics. My plan is to give you a $300 and let you find customers as you see fit. If you can generate a positive ROI, we can repeat your approach and scale it up.

Please reach out to me with your best idea(s) if you're interested!

    TLDR;

    • Sentiment on Product (Dig it, great time for it; partnerships are key as well as Sales Strategy)
    • Market Trends that align (Org Influencer Marketing Spending increasing, as well as the Market itself; 30%+ CAGR)
    • How I think it could be accomplished (Strategic Focuses)
    • My Email
    • A little about me (Consulting Experience, SaaS experience, $700,000 Book of Business in less than 4.5 Months, Currently running a Biz Dev firm focused on Sales Enablement & Web3)

    Hey, Ben; first of all, I peeped the website and really dig the product. Second of all, off bat, from my brief glance, I saw a few additional revenue opportunities that I think would be great to explore.

    Considering the scope of the product, this is something that is astronomically beneficial to both brands & creators, in a way thats marketplace-like. The adoption rate will be phenomenal.

    Developing a strong partnership & sales strategy is super key with a product like this, seeing as you could easily become the industry/market standard for the influencer marketing sort of thing.

    Market Trends that align:

    • Influencer marketing spending within organizations is increasing at a 20%+ CAGR
    • Global influencer marketing market is set to have a 30%+ CAGR

    So with trends like this, securing one: strong influencers to operate on the platform, and two: powerful brands to draw social capital to the platform is imperative.

    How I think something like this could be accomplished:

    • Understanding of product roadmap and the alignment with internal personnel & resources
    • Strong sales strategy, and account management (both creators & brands)
    • Additional value for the different creator tiers (Niche, Micro, Mid, Large), as well as brand sizes/needs (Boutique, SMB, MSE, Large Enterprise, etc.)
    • Building strategic partnerships with advertising & PR operators to leverage not only the technology, but also the networks involved (Acquiring one of these A&PR operators would severely expedite the adoption rate)

    Anyway, would love to connect. Feel free to shoot me a message. My email is: jefferson@opiloptimum.com

    A little about me:

    • Currently running a business development firm (we take care of sales enablement for clients, full-scope sort of thing; sales infrastructure, sales as a service, sales strategy, etc.) // We have capabilities in blockchain development as well
    • Recently had a stint at JFI (Consulting firm focused on AWS) as a Client Partner, where I generated a book of business worth $700,000 ACV in less than 4.5 months
    • Prior to JFI, I worked at Solera Inc. (An $11B Holdings company, with a SaaS portfolio focused on the Logistics industry - I was in the Omnitracs division) as a Business Dev Rep; I was promoted in my 1st month
