About the job: Business Development Representative

We're hiring a Business Development Representative to lead our outbound outreach efforts and connect with entrepreneurs, business owners, and busy professionals who are ready to delegate and grow.

• Research industry segments and prospect profiles to target high-value leads.
• Qualify leads and set up discovery calls for our growth team.
• Keep CRM systems up-to-date with activity, status, and contact info.
• Re-engage previous leads and nurture warm contacts.
• Provide feedback on outreach performance to optimize messaging and approach.
• Grow into a hybrid setter + closer role as part of our expanding sales team.

What We’re Looking For:

• 35 years experience in outbound B2B sales, SDR/BDR roles, or appointment setting.
• Proven success selling to founders, entrepreneurs, or SME clients.
• Excellent communication skills - articulate, concise, and persuasive.
• Proficient with CRM systems and outreach tools (e.g., HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator).

Why This Role?

100% remote work with a supportive team culture.

Clear path to evolve into a full-cycle closer and beyond.

Work alongside mission-driven entrepreneurs and innovators.
