Business Software Sales Affiliate

( Foundational) Business Software Sales Affiliate

Bickert Management Inc. (BMI) is developing an affiliate program through which independent people can earn income by introducing businesses to BMI's software, consulting, implementation, and related services.

We are initially looking for one or more entrepreneurial, sales-oriented people who want more than a conventional referral arrangement. These foundational affiliates will personally test the opportunity, develop their own methods for generating and converting business, and help BMI create a stronger and increasingly turnkey program for the affiliates who follow.

This is a strictly commission-based independent opportunity. There is no salary, guaranteed income, required schedule, or exclusive territory. Compensation will be earned from qualifying revenue generated for BMI—not merely from leads, appointments, or sales activity.

You will have the opportunity to build a business within BMI's business.

BMI already has an inventory of products and services, an implementation team, marketing resources, technical capabilities, accounting support, and an established sales process. Your role is to concentrate on the market-facing work: developing relationships, influencing prospective clients, identifying genuine opportunities, and moving those opportunities through the sales process.

Initially, you would be expected to learn by doing. You would personally:

• Identify and develop prospective clients.
  

• Determine whether they are genuinely in the market for business software, setup, customization, or implementation services.
  

• Conduct initial Free Planning and Pricing Sessions using BMI's tools and guidance.
  

• Ask structured business-level questions without needing to act as a technical expert.
  

• Capture the information BMI's internal team needs to evaluate and advance an opportunity.
  

• Develop effective methods for follow-up and conversion.
  

• Share what you learn about the messaging, tools, materials, and processes that produce better results.
  

You would not be expected to build all the supporting infrastructure yourself. When a promising approach requires better marketing materials, technical tools, training resources, administrative support, or a more refined process, BMI's internal teams can help bring those ideas to fruition.

Over time, the objective is to create a more turnkey system so that you—and eventually other affiliates—can focus primarily on relationships, lead development, presentations, and conversion while BMI handles fulfillment and supporting administration.

For the right person, the longer-term opportunity extends beyond personal commissions.

A foundational affiliate may eventually recruit and mentor additional independent affiliates. Each affiliate would have a direct agreement with BMI, while BMI would track the team relationship for the purpose of paying applicable overrides.

The person who directly produces revenue should always receive the greatest share of the available commission. Team overrides would reward continuing mentorship and leadership—not merely the historical act of recruiting someone.

The details of this model are still being developed. Foundational affiliates will have an unusual opportunity to contribute practical experience and help BMI determine what is fair, effective, and scalable. BMI will nevertheless retain ownership and control of the program and the flexibility to refine its rules, processes, and compensation structure as the model develops.

This opportunity does not include equity in BMI, permanent control of the program, exclusivity, or guaranteed rights over a market or territory.

A conventional sales résumé is not required. We are more interested in evidence that you naturally influence people and move them toward worthwhile opportunities.

You may be someone who:

• Has professional experience in sales, business development, fundraising, recruiting, networking, or entrepreneurship.
  

• Has always been a natural promoter, even without considering yourself a salesperson.
  

• Regularly connects people with businesses, products, services, or opportunities you believe in.
  

• Develops trust easily and enjoys meeting and understanding people.
  

• Is persuasive without being manipulative or excessively aggressive.
  

• Has credibility and extensive relationships within a particular industry or community.
  

• Wants to build a supplementary income stream that could potentially grow into replacement income.
  

• Is prepared to prove a sales method personally before recruiting or coaching others.
  

• Sees an early-stage program as an opportunity to experiment, learn, and help build something valuable.
  

You do not need previous experience with CRM systems, software implementation, or technology consulting. BMI can provide structured questions, qualification tools, presentation materials, training, and access to internal expertise.

You will, however, need the curiosity and aptitude to learn. As your knowledge grows, you should become increasingly confident, effective, and self-sufficient.

BMI places an especially high value on:

• Honesty and integrity.
  

• Resourcefulness and initiative.
  

• Resilience in the face of rejection and inconsistent results.
  

• Sound judgment and realistic expectation-setting.
  

• Curiosity and willingness to learn.
  

• Professionalism and personal credibility.
  

• Responsiveness and reliable follow-through.
  

• Humility about what you do not yet know.
  

• The ability to accept feedback and improve a process.
  

• Enough intelligence and business acumen to understand problems, ask useful questions, and recognize opportunities without unnecessarily overcomplicating them.
  

Intelligence is an asset, but this is not primarily an analytical or technical problem-solving role. Natural influence, practical judgment, resilience, and consistent action may matter more than exceptional intellectual ability. The right person knows when thoughtful analysis is useful and when it is time to stop overthinking and take the next reasonable step.

BMI would rather work with someone who needs to improve their persistence or follow-up than someone who generates sales by exaggerating, misrepresenting, or overpromising.

You must be comfortable telling a prospective client:

“I don't know the answer, and I don't want to speculate. Let me confirm that with the appropriate person at BMI.”

Affiliates must never make unconfirmed promises about capabilities, results, pricing, or timelines. Your responsibility is to understand the prospect, represent BMI accurately, qualify the opportunity, and advance it to the next appropriate stage. BMI's technical and operational teams will determine what can be delivered and under what conditions.

Our objective is to establish credible expectations that BMI can meet—and, whenever possible, exceed.

This is an independent affiliate opportunity rather than an employment position.

You determine how much time and effort you invest. BMI does not guarantee results or income, and you are not obligated to work predetermined hours. Correspondingly, BMI may work with multiple foundational affiliates, each of whom may develop independently and potentially build a separate team.

This opportunity is best suited to someone who understands that freedom and results are connected: the level of income and influence available will depend substantially on how effectively they choose to pursue the opportunity.

Compensation will be entirely performance-based and tied to qualifying revenue generated for BMI. The initial commission structure and the longer-term treatment of team overrides will be discussed with suitable candidates and refined as the program is tested.

No salary or guaranteed compensation is available.
