Manage the full sales process from initial conversation to signed agreement, looping in executive support when it helps move a deal forward.
- Industry Relationship Building: Represent BizScout at broker conferences and industry events, and grow an established network of relationships across the business brokerage industry.
- Onboarding Speed: Move signed partners into onboarding quickly so they can start listing on the marketplace without delay.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Engineering and other cross-functional teams to evaluate technical integration feasibility and set realistic expectations with prospective partners.
- Reporting & Results: Maintain clear visibility into pipeline, forecasts, and partnership performance, and consistently hit acquisition and closing targets.
