Position Summary
HipComic is one of the largest online marketplaces for comic books, and our comic buying and auction consignment business is growing fast. Every month, 4,000+ collectors and sellers come to us - through HipComic, ComicsIntoCash, our My Collection: Comic Scanner app, and our direct channels - looking for help turning their collections into cash. Your job: give the leads you work a fast, professional, persuasive response, and turn the best collections into closed deals - whether that's an outright purchase or an auction consignment.
We're looking for a mid-level sales professional: a proven closer with several years of real sales experience who still brings hunger to every call. You'll be on the phone every day, working a high-volume book of inbound leads with total precision. This is an individual contributor sales role - "Manager" as in Sales Manager, not people manager - working leads from a pipeline owned and directed by our sales leadership. You do NOT need to know comics on day one - we'll teach you, back you with in-house comic experts, and arm you with proprietary valuation technology that does the heavy lifting on pricing while you focus on selling. But make no mistake: within 12 months on the job, you will be one. If the idea of getting paid to become a comic book expert while closing deals every day sounds like your dream job, keep reading.

Work a Firehose of Inbound Leads: Our shared inbound leads pipeline takes in 4,000+ new seller leads every month - all inbound (no cold calling).
