Job description

Exit Without Selling solves small business owner-dependence with a dream team-led succession plan.

This role guides business owners through a proven framework system so they can step out of the day-to-day. You act as a business 'co-pilot.' The client flies the 'plane'. You are their guide

Your job is to help owners build a team, install structure, and stop being needed for every decision. You do this through Google Meet calls, clear homework, and direct accountability.

Position Vision

The Co-Pilot Advisor owns the complete client journey from Kickoff through Operate, guiding business owners through the COO Cycle (Clarity - Onboard - Operate) to reduce owner-dependence by building and training their Dream Team. The Advisor is a co-pilot, not a surrogate owner—they fly the plane, we guide. Success means clients move from "this feels impossible" to working less than 10 hours per week while their team grows the business profitably.

A-Player Profile

The person who crushes this role is a strategic thinker who guides without doing.

• They resist the temptation to solve problems FOR clients—even when they see a five-minute fix.
• They use the Socratic method to help clients discover answers themselves, letting them believe it was their idea.
• They push clients beyond comfortable goals using the compression technique, then shift them emotionally from nervous to curious to confident.
• They question every requirement, delete before they optimize, and trust the framework even when they think they know a faster way.

Compensation

• Full capacity (25 clients): $15,750/month ($189,000/year)
• Profit sharing based on company results

Top 5 Responsibilities

• Define and hold clients accountable to their "Exit-To" Vision (quantifiable + qualifiable) using the compression technique.
• Guide clients through the COO Cycle (Clarity - Onboard - Operate), ensuring they build Dream Team structures and install core playbooks.
• Enforce non-negotiable rules: next call ALWAYS booked before ending, homework submitted 24 hours before every session.
• Facilitate the emotional transformation utilizing the Socratic Method—moving clients from "nervous/impossible" to "potential" to "possible" to eventually to "probable."

Measurable Outcomes

• Client Retention Rate (3-month) - 95%+.
• Phase Progression Velocity - On Schedule.
• Client Homework Completion Rate 95%+ on time.
• Call Booking Compliance - 100% BAMFAM.
• Loom Feedback Delivery 100% within 24 hours of Receipt.

• Owned or operated one or more businesses and successfully reduced owner dependence.

About Exit Without Selling

We help service business owners break their business's dependence upon them by installing a Dream Team using the proven Exit Without Selling framework that has set hundreds of founder CEOs free.

Most owners are trapped in what we call the Prison of Success—working 50+ hours a week, unable to take a real vacation, secretly knowing everything would fall apart without them.

Exit Without Selling is succession planning done right. We help owners rebuild their business to run profitably without them—led by a Second In Command and a dream team that cares as they do. No regret-filled sale. No walking away from what they built. Just a wealth-generating asset they own but don't have to operate.

Who We Are

We're operators, not theorists. Our leadership has built, run, and exited multiple companies. We've been the burned-out owner AND the Second In Command who helped set them free. That dual perspective shapes everything we do.
