Founding Sales Executive — Dallas-Fort Worth
Company: Synthevo
Location: DFW metro area (prefer local to Frisco, McKinney, Plano Areas)
Work Style: Remote - field based
About Synthevo
Synthevo is an AI customer-operations platform built for automotive dealerships. We help dealerships respond faster, consistently follow up with customers, convert more opportunities into appointments, manage customer communications, and identify where revenue is being lost.
Our philosophy is simple:
Your CRM stores the lead. Synthevo works it. Your people close it.
We're hiring one of our first Sales Executives to help establish Synthevo in the Dallas-Fort Worth automotive market.
The Opportunity
This is an early-stage, commission-only field sales role for an entrepreneurial salesperson who wants significant earning potential and the opportunity to help build a sales organization from the ground up.
You'll work directly with Synthevo's founders to develop the DFW territory, prospect dealerships, conduct product demonstrations, and close new business.
This role will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), who is based in Frisco, Texas, ensuring close day-to-day alignment with leadership as we build and scale the DFW market.
This is not an inbound or appointment-setting position.
We're looking for a hunter and closer.
What You'll Do
- Build and manage a DFW dealership territory
- Prospect dealerships through in-person visits, phone, email, LinkedIn, networking, and referrals
- Develop relationships with dealership owners, GMs, BDC leaders, Internet Directors, and Sales Managers
- Identify gaps in lead response, follow-up, appointments, and customer engagement
- Conduct discovery and Synthevo product demonstrations
- Manage opportunities from initial contact through close
- Self-generate and maintain a strong sales pipeline
- Maintain disciplined CRM activity and follow-up
- Help newly acquired customers successfully onboard during Synthevo's early growth stage
- Share market intelligence and customer feedback directly with company leadership
- Help refine the sales approach that Synthevo will ultimately scale nationally
Sales Expectations
Once fully ramped, our initial performance target is:
5 new dealership customers per month
We recognize that our first Sales Executives are helping establish a new territory and sales motion, and appropriate ramp time will be considered.
Compensation & Earning Potential
This is a commission-only position with no guaranteed base salary at launch.
Estimated Year 1 OTE: $125,000
Estimated Year 2 OTE: $250,000
Earning potential is uncapped.
Our compensation model rewards both new customer acquisition and the recurring revenue generated from business you originate, allowing successful Sales Executives to build increasing income as their book of business grows.
Additional performance incentives are available for achieving and exceeding sales targets.
OTE figures are estimates based on target performance and are not guaranteed. Full compensation details will be discussed with qualified candidates during the interview process.
Early Customer Ownership
As one of Synthevo's first Sales Executives, you'll initially remain involved with the customers you acquire, helping them onboard, launch, and successfully adopt the platform.
As Synthevo builds its Customer Success organization, routine account-management responsibilities will transition away from Sales.
Our long-term model is:
Close → Launch → Successful Adoption → Customer Success Handoff → Back to Selling
Our goal is ultimately to have Sales focused overwhelmingly on acquiring new business—not servicing existing accounts.
Who We're Looking For
Automotive experience is strongly preferred. Ideal backgrounds include:
- Automotive Sales Consultant
- Internet Sales / BDC
- Internet Sales Manager
- BDC Manager
- Automotive Sales Manager
- Automotive technology sales
- High-performing B2B field sales
- Other commission-driven sales roles
Exceptional sales ability can outweigh direct automotive experience.
You should be:
- Competitive and highly self-motivated
- Entrepreneurial
- Comfortable with commission-only compensation
- Confident walking into dealerships and creating conversations
- Comfortable cold calling and generating your own pipeline
- Persuasive and comfortable asking for the sale
- Technologically savvy
- Coachable and organized
- Persistent and professional
- Comfortable operating in an early-stage startup
Career Opportunity
This isn't simply another sales seat.
Our first successful Sales Executives will have an opportunity to help shape Synthevo's sales organization and potentially grow into leadership as we expand.
Potential progression includes:
Sales Executive → Senior Sales Executive → Market Lead/Director → Regional Sales Leadership → National Sales Leadership
Advancement will be based on performance, leadership, recruiting ability, coaching ability, and operational discipline—not simply tenure.
Why Join Now?
You'll work directly with Synthevo's founders, help establish our first major sales territory, influence how we go to market, and have an opportunity to grow alongside the organization.
If you're looking for a guaranteed salary and an established corporate sales structure, this isn't the right opportunity.
If you're confident in your ability to sell, want uncapped earning potential, and are excited about helping build a new automotive technology company from the ground up, we want to talk to you.
