Mad Events Sales Bench

Represent top B2B tech brands at DACH's biggest trade shows.

We work with a small, carefully selected bench of experienced B2B sales people. Every specialist goes through a thorough selection process, including a live interview with a senior sales expert. If you take pride in your craft, we'd like to meet you.

Day rates from €350 to €650, plus €50 for every qualified meeting your client accepts.

What you'll do

Real sales work, not promo work

Qualify, don't scan

Start real conversations with decision makers and qualify them against the client's ICP.

Run discovery

Uncover pain points and buying signals using the client's discovery framework.

Book the next step

Book demos directly into the client's AE calendars and log every conversation in the CRM daily.

This is a sales role. Flyer distribution and badge scanning are not part of the job.

Roles and rates

Three roles. Transparent rates.

RoleDay rate
Sales Specialist€350 to €450 per day
Senior Sales Specialist€500 to €650 per day
Stand Manager€450 to €600 per day

Our selection process

A selection process built for quality

We only put people in front of our clients' buyers whom we would trust in front of our own. That's why every applicant goes through five steps.

  1. 01

    Detailed application

    Your sales background, results and a 60-second video pitch.

  2. 02

    Screening call (30 min)

    A conversation with the Mad Events team about your experience, motivation and availability.

  3. 03

    Live sales interview (45 min)

    A booth roleplay with a senior sales expert, covering opening a conversation, discovery and objection handling.

  4. 04

    Reference check

    We speak with a former manager or client.

  5. 05

    Onboarding and certification

    You complete our booth sales playbook training before your first event.

The full process typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. We review every application personally and respond within 10 working days.
