Sales Closer
Close warm inbound leads from authors who already want help publishing their book. No cold calling, no list buying — the leads come to you. This is a closing role, not a prospecting one. Authors find us, book a call, and arrive already interested. Your job is to find out what they actually need, tell them the truth about it, and close the ones we can genuinely help. HMD Publishing has taken more than 10,000 books to market for authors in 47 countries. The people you'll speak to have usually spent a year or more writing something, and they are nervous about handing it to strangers. The deals are meaningful — full publishing packages run into the thousands — so trust does the closing, not pressure. That shapes how we sell. If someone doesn't need the complete package, you sell them the one service they do need. If they're not ready, you say so and keep the door open. We are not interested in a closer who books revenue this month that turns into refund requests next month. You'll live in discovery calls, follow-ups, and the CRM. Marketing keeps the top of the funnel filled through the website, Amazon, Google Ads and social — you own everything from the first call to the signed order. This role is fully remote and open worldwide. Your call hours will need meaningful overlap with UK and US client time, because that is when authors book. To apply, send your CV and a short note on the last high-ticket deal you closed: what the objection was and how you actually got past it.
