About the Role:
We are currently looking for an experienced Business Development Representative / Closer to join our growing team.
This is a fully remote, performance-based role focused on outbound prospecting, relationship-building, and closing high-ticket marketing and consulting deals. This is not an appointment-setting or virtual assistant role. Candidates should be comfortable sourcing their own leads, building relationships with business owners/founders, and managing the sales process from outreach through close.
This role is ideal for someone entrepreneurial, self-motivated, highly proactive, and genuinely passionate about sales and business development.
Key Responsibilities:
- Source and prospect new business opportunities through outbound outreach.
- Build and maintain relationships with founders, startups, and business owners.
- Conduct discovery conversations and sales calls with prospective clients.
- Present and communicate the value of our strategy and consulting services.
- Manage and maintain your own sales pipeline.
- Follow up consistently with leads and prospects.
- Collaborate closely with leadership regarding sales strategy and opportunities.
- Represent the agency professionally in founder-facing/client-facing conversations.
Requirements:
- Must have prior experience with outbound sales and business development.
- Must have experience selling marketing-related services or solutions.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Comfortable speaking with founders, executives, and business owners.
- Ability to manage your own pipeline and work independently.
- Strong organizational and follow-up skills.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and self-starter mentality.
- Ability to work remotely and manage your own schedule effectively.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Background in marketing sales, advertising sales, agency sales, or consulting sales.
- Experience selling high-ticket services.
- Familiarity with startups, fundraising, venture capital, or equity crowdfunding is a major plus.
- Experience within the equity crowdfunding or fundraising space is highly preferred.
Compensation:
This is a commission-based role with uncapped earning potential.
- Compensation starts at 20% commission.
- Strong performers who consistently close deals may have the opportunity to move up to a 25% commission structure.
- Additional performance-based bonuses available.
Strong closers can realistically earn substantial monthly income due to the high-ticket nature of the services.
For the first phase of the role, representatives will be responsible for sourcing and closing their own opportunities. Once representatives consistently close approximately 3-4 deals and demonstrate strong performance, they may have the opportunity to begin working inbound leads generated through future marketing and advertising initiatives.
Location:
- Remote (U.S.-based candidates preferred. Exceptional candidates from Canada may also be considered.)
