Business Development Partner / Sales Partner — IT Services

We are looking for an experienced Business Development / Sales Partner who knows the IT services market, has an established professional network and can bring new software development opportunities to TopDevs.

This is not a salaried SDR or Lead Generation position.

It is a flexible, commission-based partnership designed for an experienced Business Development Manager, Sales Manager, Sales Consultant, Head of Sales/BD or independent professional who already has relationships and opportunities within the technology market.

What we're looking for

Ideally, you:

• have 3+ years of B2B sales / business development experience in software development, IT outsourcing, outstaffing or technology services;
• have an existing network of founders, CEOs, CTOs, agencies, startups or established companies that purchase software development services;
• have experience selling to the US, UK and/or European markets;
• understand the full sales cycle for custom software development;
• can identify and qualify genuine business opportunities;
• are comfortable communicating and negotiating with decision-makers;

• have personally contributed to closing IT services deals.

   

We are particularly interested in people who already have warm relationships, an active professional network, existing pipeline or potential opportunities relevant to a software development company.

How the partnership works.

You bring or introduce a new client opportunity to TopDevs.

Depending on your preferred level of involvement, you can:

• make a qualified introduction and let our team handle the sales process;
• introduce and qualify the opportunity;
• or manage the full sales cycle through negotiation and closing.

Our technical and delivery team supports you with:

• technical discovery;
• requirements analysis;
• solution discussions;
• estimations;
• proposals;
• technical calls;
• project planning.

You focus on the commercial relationship — we provide the technical and delivery capability behind the deal.

Commission.

This is a commission-only partnership with no commission ceiling.

Recurring commission — up to 10%

Earn up to 10% of every client invoice actually paid to TopDevs, for up to 12 months.

The percentage depends on your involvement:

5% — qualified introduction
7% — qualified opportunity + involvement in the sales process
10% — full sales cycle through successful closing

One-time success fee — up to 25%

Alternatively, we can agree on a one-time success fee of up to 25% of the first successfully paid client invoice.

The commission model is agreed before the opportunity is registered.

For established client relationships, significant opportunities or larger contracts, we are open to discussing an individual commission structure.

Commission is paid only on revenue actually received from the client. There is no cap on earnings.

What you'll be selling

TopDevs provides:

• Custom Web Development
• Mobile App Development
• MVP & Startup Development
• Existing Product Development & Modernization
• Dedicated Development Teams
• Staff Augmentation
• Technical Discovery & Consulting

We work with both startups and established businesses and can support opportunities from early discovery through development and long-term product support.

Why this partnership

There are:

• no working-hour requirements;
• no activity KPIs;
• no requirement to leave your existing consulting or other non-conflicting work;
• no commission ceiling.

We're interested in results rather than the number of cold emails or LinkedIn messages sent.

This can work particularly well if you already have relationships with companies that need software development, additional engineering capacity or a reliable technology partner and want to monetize those relationships with an experienced delivery team behind you.

Our goal is not simply to hire another salesperson.

We want to build long-term partnerships with people who can consistently bring quality business.
