Auditioning the
Future C-Suite.

Recruiting A-player enterprise talent on zero-base salary requires a psychological shift. We are not hiring mercenaries. We are minting future executives.

The Reality of Zero-Base Hiring.

Let’s be brutally honest. Top-tier BD talent have mortgages in Dubai. If we offer a standard "10% commission" role to an A-player at Salesforce or Oracle, they will laugh us out of DIFC. If we hire desperate, low-tier candidates, they will burn our network at Al Futtaim and Mashreq.

To win, we must change the frame. We target the "Restless Performer"—the heavy hitter tired of being a cog in a legacy machine, hungry for equity and a VP title, but who needs the right vehicle.

BirthdAI is that vehicle. We give them 30% of what they kill today, and legally guarantee them the throne tomorrow.

The BD Compensation Architecture.

Phase 1: The Hunt
Phase 2: The Throne

Pre-Funding Dynamics

Aggressive front-loaded compensation to drive immediate $15k-$25k Proof of Concept (PoC) closures in DIFC and luxury automotive.

Upfront Integration Commission 30%
Lifetime Recurring SaaS 10%
Payout Velocity T+48 Hours

The Pitch to the Candidate

"Come hunt with us for 4 months. Close three $20k deals, take home $18,000 cash instantly. We don't track your hours; we track wired funds."

"Prove you can sell the agentic relationship layer. When we raise our round on the back of your revenue, you don't just get a job—you get the VP desk."

Legally Binding Trigger

The Grandfather Clause

Triggered automatically the moment BirthdAI secures $1.5M+ in Seed/Series A funding. The mercenary becomes the executive.

Guaranteed Base Salary $120k - $150k
Founding Equity Stake 1.5% - 3.0%
Vesting Schedule 4Yr / 1Yr Cliff (Backdated)

Executive Titling

New Role
Director of Enterprise Sales
or VP of Sales (Performance Dependent)

This clause mitigates the candidate's risk. They are investing their current network and labor for pure commission now, secured by an ironclad contract guaranteeing their massive upside upon institutional funding.

The Podcast (Trojan Horse)

Interns handle outreach. Founders host. We spend 80% making the prospect look like an absolute genius regarding UAE macro-economics.

2. The Pivot (Discovery)

"How is [Your Company] ensuring buyers stay loyal for a decade?" We get them to state their retention pain point on camera.

Subliminal Mid-Roll Sponsor 24:12 / 45:00

"This conversation is brought to you by BirthdAI. While most companies focus on acquiring new clients, BirthdAI’s agentic infrastructure automates the emotional intelligence required to keep them for life. If you're dealing with the Scale vs. Sincerity paradox, visit BirthdAI."
