Growth opportunities
The ideal candidate:
Lead Generation: Can effectively research and identify potential business owner leads daily, aiming for a target of 150 contacts. Utilize various tools and platforms, including LinkedIn, industry-specific forums, and business directories.
Client management: The core of your job is relationship building. You need to be a person that cares deeply about helping small businesses succeed. That means managing expectations, being clear in your communication, and being willing to coach clients. You also need to be comfortable with challenging conversations and have the ability to diffuse tense situations and the foresight to navigate around potential pitfalls.
Marketing Strategy: Your job is to learn about the client’s business and understand what we offer and how that will impact them. You will need to engage and find ways to add value to each client from the very beginning. This can mean offering many types of value based on the business and business owners needs.
Problem solving: The cardinal sin at our company is asking someone a question you could have solved yourself. We need people who are willing to “figure it out” and don’t mind rolling up their sleeves. That doesn’t mean we aren’t here to support you, we are. But only when you encounter a problem that you truly can’t solve. You’re expected to bring more to the table than expected and hurdle problems, not allow them to get in your way.
