Business Growth Advisor

Business Growth Advisor — ActionCOACH Milwaukee

Most marketers have never picked up a phone. We need someone who opens conversations and closes deals, and does it before coffee.

If this is you, we won't be a fit:

• Your idea of lead gen is boosting a Facebook post and waiting.
• You'd rather hand off a "warm lead" than ask for the sale yourself.

If this is you, read on:

• You can walk into a chamber mixer cold and leave with three meetings on the calendar.
• You know the best lead source in B2B is another business owner who already trusts you, and you know how to turn that trust into a signed agreement.

Who we are

ActionCOACH Milwaukee coaches business owners to build companies that make more money and need them less. Contractors, trades, service companies, small and mid-size owners across Wisconsin, all running hard and stuck somewhere they don't want to be. We fix that with a proven system, not motivational posters. Our clients don't find us through billboards. They find us through a referral, a handshake, or a phone call somebody else was too nervous to make. We want a lot more of those.

What you'll do:

Own the whole path, from first hello to signed client. On purpose.

• Cold calling. Real dials to real business owners. Gatekeepers, voicemails, the occasional "how did you get this number." You stay on script when it helps and off script when it doesn't.
• Networking. Chambers, BNI-style groups, trade associations, industry breakfasts with lukewarm eggs. You show up, you follow up, you become the person people text when they hear an owner is drowning.
• Strategic alliance partners. CPAs, bankers, attorneys, insurance agents, payroll providers: people who already sit across the table from our ideal client. You build referral relationships that send warm introductions every month. Not one-time favors. Systems.
• Closing. You run the growth conversation, find where the business needs improving, and earn the commitment. Business owners can smell a pitch a mile away. You don't pitch. You diagnose.
• Tracking it. Every call, meeting, referral, and deal goes in the CRM. If it isn't logged, it didn't happen.

Think of it this way: Costco doesn't win on ads. It wins because people tell each other about the rotisserie chicken. Your job is to make us the rotisserie chicken, and then ring up the sale.

This won't be a good fit if…

You need someone else to close for you. You think networking means dropping a business card in a fishbowl. You measure a good week in "impressions." Or you get rattled when a 30-year contractor tells you he doesn't need a coach.

Here are your core responsibilities:

• Ownership. You build the pipeline.  Your call lists, your alliance network, your calendar. Nobody's micromanaging your Tuesday.
• Respect. New clients are the oxygen of this business. You'll be treated like a critical part of our company.
• Variety. Phone in the morning, lunch with a banker, a chamber event at 5, a close on Thursday. Never the same day twice.
• Impact. Every deal you close is an owner who gets their nights and weekends back.
• Pay: Base salary of 48k plus commission on every client you close. Pay is uncapped and first year should be in the 80-95k range
• Benefits: We offer a full benefits package.
• Schedule: Set your schedule.  You'll just deliver your KPIs and the rest of your time is your.
