We're building a network of Strategic Growth Partners — people who own a territory, represent TAL exclusively in it, and earn on every client they close. TAL is the three-founder startup behind that network: we build brands, run content, and manage marketing for clients across industries, and we need partners who can bring in the work.
You're not an employee here — you're a partner. The pipeline is yours, the territory is yours, and so is what you earn from it. Commission percentage gets confirmed at interview.
This role exists because there's real upside on the table and no one capturing it. TAL's business development competes with everything else the founders are doing — which means qualified prospects aren't getting reached. A Strategic Growth Partner closes that gap, and earns directly from every client they bring in.
Everything before the sales conversation is yours to build: prospects, outreach, follow-up. The better your pipeline, the better you earn — directly, not eventually.
What bandwidth you free up
- You focus on growth, founders focus on delivery — and your income scales with your output, not with a fixed budget someone else controls.
What a good week looks like
- 20 qualified contacts reached per week. A live tracker updated daily. At least one warm lead handed off to the founding team every week after the first month.
- Prospecting — identifying SMEs in target sectors using LinkedIn, Google Maps, industry directories, and social platforms
- Cold outreach — personalised messages across LinkedIn DMs, email, and other relevant channels
- Follow-up sequences — structured follow-ups at Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, and Day 16 with a 4-touch maximum
- Lead qualification — identifying warm leads and understanding their needs before handoff
- Handoff — passing warm leads to the founding team via Flock with full context: contact details, interest level, and relevant package
- A weekly report every Friday — your pipeline, on record
Skills
- Ability to write outreach messages that sound human, not templated — every message must be personalised
- Research ability — you can find decision-makers at any business using publicly available information
- Follow-up discipline — you manage a structured cadence without losing track of where each prospect stands
- Clear, professional written communication — your messages represent TAL externally
Values
- Rejection is useful information — you process it and move forward without losing momentum
- You build your own pipeline. No one hands you a list and you don't need one to start.
- You keep your tracker current because it's your system, not because someone's checking
- A warm lead is time-sensitive and you treat it that way — you escalate the moment it's worth it
- Your handoffs are complete. Founders walk in with full context because you put it there.
Tools you should know
You've found people before — formally or informally. You know what a good opening message looks like and what gets ignored. You have a system for tracking follow-ups and you use it. You don't need someone to build your prospect list for you. You find people.
You've done cold outreach in any context — sales, recruitment, partnerships, sponsorships — and you have results to show for it. You understand what SMEs care about and how they make buying decisions. You've worked in a fast-moving environment where targets were real and non-negotiable.
What will make you stand out
- Prior experience in sales outreach, business development, or lead generation — even in a freelance or college context
- You have a response rate or conversion metric you can point to from previous outreach work
- You understand the service sector — gyms, salons, restaurants, creators, brands — and how they think about marketing spend
- You've used LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, or similar tools
What we take seriously
- Genuinely personalised outreach — every message written for that specific person
- Following up on time, every time — no lead goes cold
- Daily tracker updates — not when prompted, just always
- You quote within TAL's standard pricing — consistency protects the commission pool for every partner, including you
Worth reflecting on before you apply
- You find it hard to start without a list already in front of you
- Rejection tends to slow your momentum
- Cold outreach feels unnatural — you work best through warm introductions
- Weekly targets and pipeline reporting feel restrictive rather than motivating
If the reflection points above feel familiar, take a moment before applying. We'd rather you self-select than both of us find out the hard way.
A live, active outreach pipeline with documented contacts, response rates, and at least three warm leads handed off to the founding team. A follow-up system that runs without founder involvement. A weekly report cadence that operates on time, every time.
Most outreach roles, you build someone else's pipeline and collect a salary regardless of what you close. Here, you build your own — and you keep what it's worth. No ceiling, no fixed cap, no internal competition for your territory. You work directly with three founders who need your pipeline to grow as much as you do, and you're in early enough to shape what TAL's partner network looks like as it scales beyond Mumbai.
