Sales Representatives (Wholesale)

$45–85/hrrate as listed

micro1 is recruiting experienced technical B2B wholesale sales professionals to create and evaluate training data for AI systems learning how commercial sales conversations actually work. You'll write realistic prospecting, qualification, and objection-handling material, then judge whether model outputs would survive contact with a real wholesale buyer.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.

What the work involves

This is domain-expert data work, not a sales job — there is no quota and no pipeline of your own. Instead, you supply the reasoning a model can't fabricate: how a qualified wholesale lead differs from a warm-but-doomed one, how you reframe a spec sheet as margin and throughput for a distribution buyer, how you respond when procurement stalls for six weeks. Typical tasks include authoring prospecting sequences and discovery-call scripts with annotated rationale, writing proposal sections against a fictional but plausible buyer profile, and reviewing model-generated sales copy or call responses for accuracy, tone, and whether the value translation holds up.

A large share of the time goes to evaluation and critique. You'll compare two model responses to the same objection and explain, in writing, why one is stronger — usually because it addresses the underlying commercial concern rather than restating a feature. Rubrics are supplied; the platform wants your judgment applied consistently against them, plus flags when the rubric itself misses something a practitioner would catch.

What the screen looks for

Verifiable sales history. Roughly four or more years in technical B2B sales, ideally wholesale, distribution, or complex solution environments. Expect follow-ups on deal size, cycle length, and who you sold to.
Depth under pressure. Generic frameworks (BANT, MEDDIC as buzzwords) score poorly. Specific accounts of how you qualified out of a deal, or lost one, score well.
Written clarity. Much of the output is prose. Sloppy or padded writing is the most common rejection reason.
Evaluation instinct. Can you articulate why an output is weak, in terms another reviewer could apply?

Logistics

Contractor engagement, fully remote and largely asynchronous, with occasional coordination calls. Most contributors commit 10–20 hours per week on flexible schedules; some projects offer more. Observed rates on this listing run $45–85/hr, varying with domain specificity, task type, and assessment performance — not guaranteed, and set per project. Technical or engineering background is a plus but not required if your sales record is in technical products.

What they look for

B2B lead prospecting and qualification
Communicating a technical value proposition to non-technical buyers
Objection handling
Basic technical product knowledge

Interview prep — 12 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: Can you isolate the technical detail, identify what the buyer actually cared about (cost, reliability, integration, uptime), and explain how you bridged that gap without oversimplifying or talking down to them?
A strong answer: You name a specific feature or specification, show you understood the buyer's constraint or goal (not just their stated objection), and describe exactly how you reframed the feature as a measurable business outcome—not just 'made it simple,' but 'showed them it would cut their procurement cycle by 40% because of X.'
Where people lose it: Candidates often describe the product feature but not the translation: they say 'I explained the API integration' instead of 'I showed them it would eliminate manual data entry, saving their team 10 hours per month.' Translation requires naming both the technical fact and the business value it unlocks for *that* buyer.
