Hire Director jobs

Late last year i founded Hilarious Mugs, my third website venture, the other two are successful specialist sites founded in 2014 and 2019, the new site you can see at:

Hilarious Mugs is an anti Trump design company thar has initially focused on coffee mug designs with 174 designs currently on site.

The USP is that these are complex “mosaic” designs that typically feature 3 layers with on average 24 memes, but will probably increasingly feature 2 layer designs (approximately 12 memes) after the recent reception of the Trump Grave designs

The USP is helped by the fact that while its easy to emblazon a mug with F*ck Trump etc, these designs typically take 3-4 hours to put together which is probably why there‘a nothing like them to my knowledge.

I’m already working on apparel prototypes that l know have significant promise. Many other products are possible.

While the market for anti Trump & Trump

regime mugs (not the only person HM does eg Zelensky, Martin Luther King, Obama, Farage etc) is probably saturated, NO-ONE does anything like these mugs, see site Home page customer comments half way down.

This is a print on demand business applying product printed in multiple countries via a major drop shipping platform, with the opportunity for multiple shop windows eg Amazon, Etsy, eBay, RedBubble, YourDesign, InkThreadable.

I am a designer not an experienced salesman, so l have decided to outsource the sales function to a Sales Director and l do not anticipate any further people in the venture other than whatever network of sales agents the Sales Director creates.

I am now interested to hire a Sales Director who can create sales directly and also manage a network of sales agents. My initial sales target for 2026 is a very modest 6,500 customers buying 10,000 mugs in total. Net profit on this sales target would be approximately $120,000, so there is A LOT of commission to be paid out to the Sales Director and the network of sales agents.

This is mass market. Currently the Occupy Democrats page on Facebook has 10,000,000 followers forgetting other social media platforms. So a reasonable addressable audience is surely 1,500,000 people (75m voted for Kamala in 2024) so to convert 6,500 people into buyers is i believe realistic. Indeed my forecasts afe to increase to 15,000 customers and beyond in future years.

Customer fulfillment by the way is semi automatic.

The job of the Sales Director will be to develop sales channels, develop sales agents, work with me as i develop new designs and new products to make the venture highly successful over coming years.

I see this an a fantastic part time opportunity for a UK or US citizen with good experience in selling via social media. Compensation will only be a rising percentage of net profit on sales, less whatever is owed to the agents ie commission based, not salaried. So for example if we agreed on 25% of net profits, 2026 commission would total $30,000 and then if all sales agents were receiving 12.5%, they would be paid $15,000 from that commission ie on all agent sales net commission would be $15,000 but on all direct sales the full 25%.

On my forecast of 22,500 units to 15,000 customers I’d expect net profits of $270,000 so pretty quickly the Sales Director’s percentage will ramp up as various levels are attained with leveraged returns as net profit rises.

Please submit an application with the usual background information and reasons why you believe you'd be interested in this position and capable in producing results. I’d expect to appoint someone after interviews/discussions via Teams or Whatsapp. I’m open minded but I’d expect to appoint someone based in UK, US or Canada. I suspect a combination of demonstrable competence, experience, enthusiasm and amenable personality are probably the most imposrtant qualities I’m looking for. Obviously if your political views are Pro Trump you shouldn’t apply (I’m a centrist ie by American terms Lincoln Project type Never Trumper, UK Conservative voter with a social conscience traditionally ie not a socialist but bipartisan). If you want to learn more about me please google JAMES COTTON MILLTRUST.

My two specialist websites are the very large Vintage Footballers photo library www.vintagefootballers.com and its much smaller sister sie Vintage Cricketers, neither of these are involved in the Hilarious Mugs venture.

• Experience in creating and managing a network of sales agents
• 5-15 years of experience in sales management
• Experience with social media channels
