## About the role

You'll call small business owners cold, introduce them to BizScout, and ask whether they'd be open to a conversation about selling their business. It's a straightforward pitch, but it takes persistence to do well. Most people will hang up, some will be rude, a few will be curious, and a small number will say yes. Your job is to grow that last group as much as you can, every day, through steady volume and genuine conversations.

## What they're looking for

- Can make a high volume of calls every day without burning out or cutting corners
- Builds relationships instinctively rather than transactionally
- Treats a “no” as fuel rather than a stop sign
- Shows up ready to perform every day and brings their own drive rather than waiting to be managed
- Aspires to be a part of a growing business in a start-up environment
