About The Position

HelloNation is hiring accomplished salespeople to sell something the digital marketing industry can't copy. Not SEO, PPC, or the latest AEO/GEO acronym. We sell Edvertising, a proprietary platform that makes local businesses the trusted, credible authority in their market. As consumers lean on AI, search, and reviews to decide who to trust, being found isn't enough anymore. Businesses need to be believed. That's the conversation you'll own. Edvertising combines expert educational content, video, third-party credibility, PR, and strategic local distribution into one authority-building platform. Instead of a client saying "trust us, we're the best," we prove why they deserve to be trusted. Because HelloNation offers category exclusivity in each market, whoever moves first owns it, and their competitors are locked out. As the only company in the U.S. delivering this model, you're usually the first conversation of its kind an owner has had, not the fifth vendor pitching the same thing. The story sells itself, so your energy goes into building relationships and closing. This role is for a high performer who wants to own their results and build a real book of business. You'll develop your market, generate your own opportunities, and drive revenue through strategic partnerships. Candidates who come in with existing small business relationships will create early momentum, accelerate their pipeline, and close business faster in the first 30-60 days. You won't be building that credibility from scratch. HelloNation's strategic partnerships open doors faster and lend instant legitimacy the moment you reach out. These include national partnerships with the United States Conference of Mayors, the National League of Cities, National Association of Counties, and the U.S. First Responders Association; professional associations such as the Better Business Bureau, New York State Chiropractic Association, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, among many more.
