I've been in sales for 5 years now. closed over 4M in reveneu

Something that's been bothering me for a while: every decent sales community I've joined is American. The podcasts I listen to, the playbooks, the peer groups, the Slack channels all US. US comp benchmarks, US timezones, US verticals.

Meanwhile every European sales rep I know is doing this alone. Scrolling LinkedIn at midnight. Cold-applying to roles that ghost them at week 5 of the interview loop. Recruiters in their DMs offering €40K OTE for closer roles. No peer group to actually talk shop with.

It's weird because Europe has tons of great reps, they're just scattered, isolated, and stuck on platforms designed for the US market.

So I started building one. Discord-first community of European sales reps. I personally talk to companies that are hiring, find out what they actually need, and make warm intros to people inside who fit. No recruiter middleman,, no job board.

Currently free for both reps and companies. Founding members get in for nothing and stay free.

If you're an EU rep or company r who's tired of doing this alone, send me a DM and I'll get you the invite.

Companies can join by form reps in discord:

Founders: how's hiring sales people going for you in 2026?

Quick intro — I'm Josse, 24, been in sales since 18. Started in cars, worked my way up to closing 2K–15K deals, around €2M closed over the last 2 years.

What I keep running into: a lot of those conversations stall in the getting-to-know stage. Founders say they need sales help, we have a good first call, and then it just… doesn't move. No real decision either way.

So curious from the founder side: for those of you who've actually hired (or tried to hire) a sales person — what's working, what isn't, and what makes you actually pull the trigger vs. stay in "thinking about it" mode?

If you've got warm leads and an offer worth closing, drop a comment or DM. Happy to share past results, jump on a call, or do a paid trial close week — whatever makes sense for you.

US, EU, or APAC time zones all workable.

Tired of all these poeple "hiring" and not reaction. So lets see who's really hiring and would put the effort to contact me.

Looking for honest input from people who've built marketing agencies, and from media buyers who've worked inside them.

Here's my situation. I'm 23, Belgian, spent the last 3 years as a freelance closer for marketing agencies. €1M+ in personal closed revenue and long enough to want to build my own.

The plan: a growth agency focused entirely on the health & wellness niche. Not a generalist shop with a health page. Only health. Clinics, med spas, GLP-1 and weight loss programs, supplement brands, coaches, functional medicine. I've sold into this vertical before. The budgets are real ($10K–50K/month per client is normal), most agencies are too generalist

What I'm not bringing: deep media-buying chops. I know enough Meta to be dangerous, not enough to scale a clinic from $5K to $50K/month profitably. That part needs an actual specialist next to me.

The model I want to build is a 50/50 partnership with one media buyer. Equity, not salary. I do sales and clients, they do accounts, creative, and systems (Meta primarily, GoHighLevel, AI-driven creative production). They never have to be client-facing if that's not their thing.

What I'd love input on:

1. For anyone who's started an agency — is a 50/50 partner from day one the right move, or am I giving away too much before there's anything to give away?

2. For media buyers who've worked inside agencies — what would make a deal like this actually worth saying yes to? What would you want to see from the sales-side partner before you'd commit?

3. Anything I'm clearly underestimating? Compliance pain, churn rates in this niche, anything else I'd be smart to think harder about before I start closing the first clients.

Question for people who've actually built agencies from scratch — sales-led vs ops-led founders, which actually works better?

Context on why I'm asking: I'm a sales operator. Spent 3 years closing for marketing agencies, over €1M in personal closed revenue

What I don't know is whether starting an agency without a strong media buyer next to me from day one is a smart move or a slow death. I've seen a few sales-led founders try it, hire a junior buyer, churn through them, and burn cash. I've also seen sales-led founders pair up early with a 50/50 partner and grow fast.

The niche I want to focus on is health & wellness specifically — clinics, med spas, GLP-1, supplements, coaches. I've sold into it before. Budgets are real ($10K–$50K/month is normal), the vertical rewards compliance know-how, and most agencies serving it are either generalists or amateurs.

My gut says: find one media-buying partner, 50/50 split, equity not salary, and just build it together. But I want to hear from people who've actually done this.

1. If you're a media buyer who's been inside an agency — what would have made you want to leave and partner with a sales-side founder instead of staying?

2. If you've started an agency solo — how long before you wished you had a technical partner?

3. What's the worst mistake you see sales-led agency founders make?

Genuinely curious. Trying to make the right move here, not the impatient one.

Genuine question for the media buyers here: how do you feel about the agency model right now?

I ask because I've spent 3 years as a freelance closer for marketing agencies. Closed over €1M in personal revenue. Sold AI software, EVs, consumer health. Always closing for someone else's offer, watching the same pattern: solid media buyers stuck inside agencies that take 60% of the margin, force them to talk to clients, and put them on accounts they hate.

I'm building something different in the health & wellness niche. Clinics, med spas, GLP-1 programs, supplements, coaches — the space I've sold into before and the one with the most predictable budgets right now ($10K–$50K/month per client, growing fast).

The structure I want is simple: 50/50 split with one media buyer partner. I run sales and client relationships, you run accounts and creative. I cover the first ad budget myself. No salary on either side, equity in the company, eat what we kill. You never speak to a client unless you choose to.

Looking for someone who's strong on Meta primarily, comfortable using AI for creative volume, can stand up GoHighLevel for client systems, and wants ownership instead of a paycheck.

If any of that resonates, comment or message me. Happy to walk through the positioning, the brand draft, and what the first 90 days look like.

US or EU time zones since clients will be mostly US.

Everyone tells you to go high ticket $10K, 15K, $25K deals. "Work less, make more."

What they don't tell you: a high ticket sale often takes weeks. Sometimes months. Discovery call, follow-up, demo, even tho my close rate was good, i was getting tired of the cycles

I'm flipping it. $1K ticket. Short cycle. Decision on the call or the day after. Next.

8 calls a day. Close 3. $500 commission each.

That's $1,500 a day.

No 3-week pipeline.

And for the ones just starting, this is also way better to practice,

So dont sleep on the low ticket offer. just make sure you get 6-8 calls a day
