About the Opportunity

We operate as an elite financial consultancy dedicated to guiding international founders through the process of accessing top-tier US banking and corporate credit infrastructure.

• Meeting Generation: Schedule 8 to 12 qualified strategy and discovery sessions per week directly onto the Founder's calendar.
• High-Ticket Closing: Move seamlessly from booking appointments to independently closing high-value advisory packages ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 USD.

• CRM Systems: Strong organizational discipline regarding pipeline tracking software (Close.io or equivalent tools).

• Hands-on experience with Close, Zapier, Mailchimp, and LinkedIn automation tools.
• Passion for US banking, business credit, international corporate structures, and cross-border ventures.
