=====================================

READ THIS PART FIRST

This is not a message answering job and it is not a virtual assistant job. We are handing one person our entire Instagram sales channel and asking them to run it.

You will report to the founder, but will have complete ownership of the sales system. If you need to be told what to do each day, this role will not work for you and you should not apply.

We want someone who has done this for at least three years, who has their own opinions about what works, and who has proven results.


ABOUT US

We are a sports nutrition coaching business based in Sydney, Australia. We work with fighters. MMA, boxing, BJJ, judo, wrestling. Our job is to get them to their fight weight without wrecking their performance on fight night.

We run Instagram content and paid ads and we get a steady flow of new leads every week. Right now the founder handles those conversations between coaching calls, which means good leads go cold and most never get followed up.


HOW THE ROLE GROWS

You start part time on inbound only. Roughly the first 4 to 8 weeks, 15 hours a week. You learn our voice, our offer and our fighters, and you work only the leads who come to us: our free making weight calculator, our free ebook, ad leads in Leads Center, story replies and comment to DM. We start you here because we want you closing well before we scale your volume.

Once your numbers hold for two straight weeks, you move to full time and add outbound. That means 40 hours a week, keeping all the inbound, and going out to find fighters who already have a competition booked instead of waiting for them to find us. Hashtags, event pages, fight cards, gym accounts, our past clients, our old lead list and our workshop buyers.

Outbound is where this role gets interesting, because it is the half you get to design. We will tell you what our best clients look like. How you go and find more of them is your call.

The move to full time is based on your numbers, not on time served. We expect it to happen. If it does not, we hired the wrong person.


WHAT YOU OWN

Everything between a stranger seeing our content and a fighter paying us.

- Opening conversations, personalised to the human on the other end, never copy paste
- Qualifying properly, and letting go of the ones we cannot help quickly and politely
- Presenting the offer, handling objections, closing the sale
- Following up on a set cadence, not whenever you remember
- Reactivating our past clients and old leads
- Building and running the outbound side once you are full time
- Logging every conversation in the CRM with stage and outcome
- Owning the numbers, reporting them weekly, and telling us what the objections are saying about our offer and our ads

You will be given a proven script, an offer document, an objection bank and a library of real conversations that have already turned into sales. You are not starting from zero. But we expect you to improve on all of it. If our script is losing people at a certain point, we want you to tell us and rewrite it, not run it silently for six months.


WHAT YOU ARE NOT

You are not the coach. You will never give nutrition advice, weight cutting advice, training advice or anything medical. If someone asks a coaching question you get them excited about speaking to the coach and pass it up.

Any message about a weight cut in progress, an injury or anything clinical gets escalated to the founder straight away. We are a health business and this rule is not negotiable.


THE NUMBERS YOU WILL BE HELD TO

You see your own scoreboard and so do we. We review it every week.

While you are on inbound:
- First reply to a new lead: within 15 minutes during your shift
- New leads left untouched at end of shift: zero
- Opener to reply rate: 30% or better
- Reply to qualified conversation: 25% or better
- Qualified to offer presented: 60% or better
- Offer presented to sale: 25% or better
- Follow up compliance: 100% of open threads touched on cadence
- Minimum 10 sign ups per month (20k commission bonus per month)
- Conversations logged in CRM: 100%

Once you add outbound:
- New outbound conversations opened per day: 30 to 50
- Outbound targets who already have a competition booked: 70% or better

Inbound and outbound are tracked separately. They convert very differently and we do not want them blended.

For your first 30 days we hold you to the process and the volume, not the sales. After that, conversion is the job.


YOU WILL BE GREAT AT THIS IF

- You have 3+ years selling by chat and can show us the receipts, not just describe them
- You have owned a sales channel before, not just executed someone else's steps
- You are comfortable being ignored seven times out of ten and still showing up the next day
- You write like a real person. Short messages, real questions, no essays, no corporate tone, no obvious templates
- You already track your own numbers because you want to beat them
- You bring solutions. When something is broken you arrive with two options and a recommendation
- You can be trusted with our Instagram account and our brand voice without supervision


YOU WILL HATE THIS ROLE IF

- You want a manager checking in on you three times a day
- You want a fixed script you never have to think about
- You are uncomfortable telling the founder he is wrong about something
- You have only ever done customer support or admin work in an inbox


TOOLS

Meta Business Suite and Leads Center, ManyChat, Google Sheets. You must have used Business Suite and Leads Center before.


WHAT WE OFFER

- PHP 450 to 600 per hour based on what you can show us you have done
- PHP 2,000 for every new member you sign, uncapped, from day one
- A 30 day ramp where we pay commission at target while you learn, so you are not out of pocket during training
- A clear, numbers based path from 20 hours to 40 hours, and we want you to get there fast
- A yearly budget for a sales course of your choosing
- Long term work with one client, direct access to the founder, and no layers in between
- Real room to grow. As this scales, the person in this seat runs the sales side and hires the next rep


HOW TO APPLY

Read this carefully. We reject anyone who misses a step, because following instructions is the first test of the job.

Start your message with the word CORNERMAN so we know you read the whole post.

Then send us:

1. A voice note, 60 to 90 seconds. Tell us why you would be good at this, and walk us through one sale you made entirely by chat, start to finish.

2. Two screenshots of real DM conversations you ran end to end. Cover the names. We want to see how you actually write.

3. Your numbers. Conversations per day, reply rate, close rate, and how you tracked them. If you do not have real numbers, say so honestly rather than inventing them.

4. A three message opener for this lead: a 24 year old amateur MMA fighter followed us after watching a reel and downloaded our free making weight calculator. He has not replied to anything yet. Write the exact first three messages you would send him.

5. One thing you would want to change or test in a DM funnel like ours in your first month, and why. Two or three sentences is plenty. This is the question we care most about.

6. Your available start date.

We want to move fast. Shortlisted applicants get a paid test project and then an interview with the founder. We want someone in the seat within two weeks.
