Account Executive – Advertising Agency Sales – No Remote Workers – Pay Range $55,000–$90,000 Year 1

Spin Modern Virginia Beach, Virginia

Your Role

This is a performance-driven sales position. The $36,000 base salary is only one part of the total compensation plan — our goal is to reward sales. $36,000 will be roughly half the total compensation. Salespeople will consistently earn more through commissions, bonuses, and activity-based incentives which should earn another $36,000 per year in performance based compensation.

Responsibilities

Prospect, network, and sign new clients (target: 2 per month)
Sell Marketing and Advertising services (avg. $2,000–$2,500 monthly retainer)
Build and maintain a healthy pipeline in Monday.com (Our CRM)
Conduct discovery calls and deliver tailored proposals
Work with leadership to close deals and support onboarding

Compensation Structure

Base Salary: $36,000 (not representative of total potential earnings)
Commission: 10% on all new clients
Bonuses: Larger rewards tied directly to closed sales and monthly performance milestones
Activity Incentives (Spot Bonuses): Smaller, more frequent incentives tied to productive activity — pipeline development, meetings booked, proposals delivered, etc.

On-Target Earnings (OTE)

OTE represents the expected total annual compensation for a salesperson who consistently performs at the stated levels. Earnings include base salary, recurring commissions on active client accounts, bonuses, and performance incentives.

Year One

1.5 clients/month (minimum performance): $55,000–$65,000

2.0 clients/month (expected performance): $67,000–$75,000

2.5+ clients/month (strong performance): $75,000–$90,000+

Year Two

Because commissions continue on active recurring revenue high-performing salespeople who continue adding new business while retaining existing clients can reasonably expect total annual earnings in the range of $80,000–$110,000+.

Year Three and Beyond

Salespeople who consistently build their client portfolio, maintain strong client relationships, and continue producing new recurring revenue have the opportunity to earn $100,000–$150,000+ annually, with exceptional performers earning even more. Unlike many sales organizations, your income continues to grow as your recurring client portfolio grows.
