NewsBreak is the best local source for news, videos, and information on safety, accidents, sports, business, celebrity updates, stock market trends, and more.
About the role
NewsBreak is the nation's leading local news app, with one of the largest local audiences in the US. We're building something new on top of it: a lead generation platform for home-services businesses — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, cleaning, remodeling.
What they're looking for
- Own merchant acquisition end-to-end in home services: prospect, pitch, close, onboard. Onboarding is minutes, not weeks — the product does the setup
- Bring relationships, not just dials. This market is over-cold-called, we're hiring books of business and referral networks, not phone scripts
- Own the hard conversations. Lead-quality disputes, credits, saves, churn. If you've never had a contractor tell you their leads were junk, this isn't the role
- Close the loop with product. You'll talk to the team building the agent weekly, what merchants object to becomes what we build next
- Run pricing and packaging experiments — per-lead, subscription, hybrid. Nothing is sacred yet
- You've sold recurring $200–$2,000/month spend to owner-operators, mostly by phone, and carried a retention number — not just a bookings number
