• Conduct interviews and sales presentations to prospective clients, negotiate contracts, and finalize sales deals.

​

Compensation: 

As an independent contractor, this position is a commission-only based sales position. This means that the BDE will receive a negotiated sales commission on each deal that he/she closes. As the business grows compensation structures may be re-evaluated to include a base rate. 

​

The Ideal Candidate: 

Due to the start-up nature of this company, this job is best suited for a sales professional who is looking for a flexible schedule, minimal supervision, and the opportunity to make a fair amount of substantive income. The more the BDE closes, the more compounded income they make. Candidates should not consider this job if they are relying heavily on a full-time salaried position to support their living needs - not yet at least! As the company grows, more benefits and compensation opportunities will arise. The ideal candidate is someone who is okay with part-time work and is interested in being part of a start-up business.
