Independent sales agent to sell our web services

The role at a glance

• Type of engagement: freelance, as a commercial agent or business introducer. This is not an employed position.
• Pay: commission only, 10% to 20% of the net amount (excluding VAT) of every contract signed. No fixed salary, no advance on commission, no expenses paid.
• Location: 100% remote, from your country of residence. No relocation, and no visa or work permit sponsorship.
• Eligible countries: the 27 European Union member states, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, China, and the six Gulf states: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.
• Hours: up to you; part-time alongside another activity is fine.
• Languages: the language of your market, plus French or English to work with our team.
• Target clients: businesses only (B2B): micro-businesses, SMEs, retailers, tradespeople, professional practices, non-profits. No sales to consumers.

What you will actually do

Your job is to find new clients and take them through to signature. The work follows five steps:

1. Prospect. Spot businesses with a web need — an outdated, slow or missing website, an online shop to launch or take over, internal tasks to automate, poor visibility on Google — through your network, phone, email, LinkedIn, business clubs or trade fairs. You find your own prospects: we do not provide contact lists.
2. Qualify. In a first conversation, understand the company’s business, goal, budget, timescale and who makes the decision.
3. Set up the discovery meeting. You schedule a video call between the client and our technical team, and you take part in it.
4. Support the proposal. We cost the project and write the quote; you follow it up with us, answer the client’s questions and chase it.
5. Close and retain. You take the client through to signature, then remain their sales contact for future needs: new features, maintenance, SEO.

What you don’t do: estimate technical projects, write quotes, build websites or provide support. That’s our job, and we do it alongside you.

A typical week

There are no set hours, but sales activity that gets results usually looks like this:

• regular prospecting sessions (calls, messages, follow-ups) rather than one-off bursts;
• first conversations with interested businesses to qualify their needs;
• one or more discovery video calls with our team;
• following up on open proposals and existing clients;
• a regular check-in with us on your prospects, to coordinate meetings and avoid two people contacting the same company.

The sales cycle ranges from two weeks for a simple website to several months for a web application or business platform.

What you’ll be selling

Tangible services that we deliver ourselves. Price ranges are those published on our website, excluding VAT:

• website design and website redesign: €1,500 to €5,000 for a simple brochure site, €5,000 to €12,000 for a bespoke site;
• online shops built on PrestaShop, WooCommerce or from scratch: €5,000 to €25,000, more with an ERP or supplier feeds;
• web applications, business platforms and software integrations: €15,000 to €120,000;
• maintenance, performance and security for existing websites: recurring contracts, quoted individually;
• search engine optimisation and technical SEO audits: quoted individually.

How much you can earn

Your commission is 10% to 20% of the contract amount excluding VAT, depending on the type of contract. What one signed contract earns you:

• simple brochure website (€1,500 to €5,000): €150 to €1,000;
• bespoke website (€5,000 to €12,000): €500 to €2,400;
• online shop (€5,000 to €25,000): €500 to €5,000;
• web application or business platform (€15,000 to €120,000): €1,500 to €24,000;
• maintenance and SEO: commission on every invoice, for as long as the client stays with us. This income builds up month after month.

Monthly ballpark figures once you are up and running:

• Side activity (a few hours a week): one brochure site of around €4,000 signed per month, i.e. €400 to €800 a month.
• Steady part-time: around €14,000 signed per month (two brochure sites, plus an online shop every other month), i.e. €1,400 to €2,800 a month.
• Full-time with a strong network: €25,000 to €40,000 signed per month (several websites, a shop, an application from time to time), i.e. €2,500 to €8,000 a month, plus recurring commission.

To be clear: these are examples, not a guarantee. The first months often bring in little or nothing while the first contracts are signed. Amounts are gross: you declare and pay your own social contributions and taxes in your country.

Terms of engagement

• Commission is calculated on the amount actually received excluding VAT, and paid as the client pays (deposit, then instalments).
• You invoice AUXIOMA for each commission due, quoting your business registration number. Between two EU countries, VAT is reverse-charged by AUXIOMA.
• No minimum targets, no exclusivity, as long as your other activities don’t compete with ours.
• Training on our services, sales materials (agency presentation, service sheets, client references) and support from our technical team in meetings.
• Your own costs (phone, travel, tools) are your responsibility.
• We never ask you for money: no sign-up fee, no paid training, no equipment to buy. Any such request made in AUXIOMA’s name is a scam.
• Prospecting must comply with the GDPR and the direct marketing rules of your country: no purchased lists, no mass mailings in AUXIOMA’s name.

About you

• Self-employed status in your country (commercial agent, sole trader, company…) or willing to set it up before you start.
• A proven, verifiable track record in B2B service sales, ideally in web, marketing, IT or consulting.
• A network of SME owners, retailers or freelancers is a real plus.
• Fluency in the language of your market, and good spoken and written French or English.
• Self-motivated, well organised and honest about what we can deliver: we would rather sell a project properly than make a promise we can’t keep.

No technical skills required: an interest in the web is enough, and we’ll train you on our services.

This role is not for you if…

• you are looking for a salary, a permanent job, an internship, an apprenticeship or a student job;
• you are a developer, designer, SEO specialist or copywriter looking for technical work: this vacancy is for sales only, and other applications are not considered;
• you do not legally reside in one of the countries listed above (the United States, Canada, India, Pakistan, Nigeria and other countries are not included), or you need a visa, work permit or relocation;
• you have no self-employed status and don’t intend to set one up: without one, we cannot pay you commission;
• you have never sold to businesses;
• you speak neither French nor English.

Status and legal framework: Ireland, United Kingdom, Malta, Gulf states

The agreement complies with EU Directive 86/653/EEC on self-employed commercial agents and with the mandatory rules of the country where you work. Two arrangements are possible: a commercial agent negotiates on AUXIOMA’s behalf and looks after clients over time; a business introducer passes on leads from time to time, without negotiating. Pointers for English-speaking countries:

• Ireland: European Communities (Commercial Agents) Regulations 1994 and 1997; registration with Revenue as self-employed, and a VAT number if you exceed the threshold or invoice other EU businesses.
• United Kingdom: Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993, still in force; registration with HMRC as self-employed (sole trader) or through a limited company.
• Malta: the provisions of the Commercial Code on commercial agents; registration as self-employed with the Maltese tax and social security authorities.
• Gulf states: a trade licence or freelance permit that allows commercial intermediation (for example a UAE free zone freelance permit, or a commercial registration in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman). If your residence visa is tied to an employer who does not allow outside work, we cannot accept your application. The agreement is non-exclusive and is not a registered commercial agency.

If you live in another eligible country, that country’s rules apply. This information is a guide, not legal or tax advice: check your situation with the authorities in your country.
