CLIENT PARTNER · HEADING INTO 2027
This is a sales job.
It’s also unlike most sales jobs. You won’t push product or read from a script. You’ll invite people to think with us, then help them design what comes next.
READ THIS FIRST
If the word “sales” makes you flinch, close the tab. No hard feelings.
Part connector, part consultant, part architect, and paid on the work you bring in.
Serious inquiries only. We’d rather meet five people who mean it than fifty who are curious.
WHY NOW
We’ve never been more ready to grow.
PopUpThinkTank runs 90-minute facilitated sessions that surface what a room of 30–75 people already knows about alignment, engagement and momentum. We’ve been doing it from Minneapolis since 2019, for enterprise teams, nonprofits and everything in between.
Talent
A network of trained facilitators ready to deliver in organizational settings.
Operations
A team that handles setup, logistics and the post-session readout.
Marketing
Public and network-hosted sessions on the calendar, with an engine already filling them.
What we don’t have yet is you: the person who brings five more of the right people into every room.
HOW THE WORK ACTUALLY WORKS
Our clients don’t hire us until they’ve been in a session.
That makes the motion simple.
01
Meet people
Leaders in HR, learning, talent and change who care about how their people think together.
02
Invite them to a session
Show up to our public and network-hosted sessions yourself, and bring five thinkers with you. Your five make the room better and move deals forward.
03
Follow up
Get together afterward to talk about what they experienced and where it could apply.
04
Dream with them
What would this look like for their team, their all-hands, their transformation?
05
Make the champion look good
Help your contact build the case inside their company, and get us in front of the person who decides.
06
Leverage the team
Strategy, design, pricing: we work it out together.
You don’t have to be an expert facilitator. You have to be the reason the right people show up.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Get meetings. Then get more meetings.
Everything else follows from that.
Build relationships with Directors, VPs and Heads of HR, L&D, talent and change at mid-size and enterprise organizations.
Attend our public sessions to meet people, and fill seats with your own invitees.
Run the follow-up conversations that turn a great session into a real opportunity.
Shape proposals with Tim, from single sessions and Team Packs to enterprise programs like The Enterprise Facilitator.
Keep your pipeline current, so we can plan facilitators and delivery ahead of demand.
WHO YOU ARE
You’re a natural inviter. And people say yes.
You invite people to think with you, to solve a problem, to dream, to connect, to take a step. You also care deeply about the people side of work. Learning and development, organizational development, organizational effectiveness, change enablement: you follow these fields because you believe in them, not just because they’re your market.
NON-NEGOTIABLE
A proven seller
You’ve closed B2B deals and can tell us exactly how you did it.
Relationships first
You ask better questions before you offer answers.
Solutions-minded
You can hear a leader’s problem and sketch what could help, then bring in the experts to build it.
Energized by commission
Pay that tracks what you bring in motivates you rather than worries you.
Happy to make others look good
Your win is the champion’s win.
Bonus points
Relationships in HR, L&D or change, or a background in facilitation or coaching.
PROBABLY NOT A FIT IF
you need a base salary right now, want to be told what to do each morning, or would treat this as a side project.
HOW WE’LL WORK TOGETHER
You open the doors. We walk through them with you.
Tim in your corner
Pull our founder into the details anytime: discovery calls, proposals, pricing, session design. We’ll strategize together.
Sessions ready to invite into
Public and network-hosted sessions are already planned and marketed.
A product that sells in the room
Get the right people to a session and the experience does the heavy lifting.
Delivery handled
Facilitators, project operations, and deliverables are covered, so you can stay focused on relationships.
Room to shape the role
You’ll be our first Client Partner, and what you learn will define the ones who follow.You’ll be our first Client Partner, and what you learn will define the ones who follow.
