What are the responsibilities and job description for the Local AI Consultant (Fort Collins) position at Refer.io?
Your Mission: Become the Face of AI in Fort Collins
Are you the go-to tech expert at your Best Buy store? Do you thrive on helping customers find the right solutions and love connecting with people? Have you been looking for a way to turn your passion for technology and customer service into a high-impact career in the booming AI industry?
If so, this is your chance. We're looking for a Local AI Consultant to become the most visible, helpful, and connected AI expert in the Fort Collins business community. Your job isn't to be a coder; it's to be a sales evangelist, community builder, and strategic connector. You are the bridge between local businesses and our world-class team that delivers AI solutions.
This is a unique opportunity for individuals with a background in retail tech, like Best Buy, to pivot into the lucrative B2B technology sector. You'll leverage your natural people skills and tech-savviness to build a business with uncapped, recurring income.
What This Job Is All About
This is a networking and educational sales role. You get paid to have conversations. Your daily work involves talking to business owners in the Fort Collins area, understanding their challenges, and showing them the potential of AI. You succeed by being curious, helpful, and consistently present in the community. You are a business journalist, an interviewer, and a process consultant all in one. You find the stories, identify the pain, and introduce the solution-which our team then delivers.
This is not a pushy, transactional sales job. It is about building trust, creating value, and establishing long-term relationships.
A Day in the Life
- Morning: You start your day with the "Core Loop": having 5 conversations about AI with local business owners. You then post your insights on LinkedIn, building your personal brand as the go-to AI expert in Fort Collins.
- Afternoon: You attend a local networking event, like a chamber of commerce meeting or a tech meetup. You use our "Event-to-Gamma" strategy to turn conversations into valuable content and leads.
- Evening: You host the casual Weekly AI Meetup for the Fort Collins community, creating a loyal following and a consistent source of leads.
What We're Looking For
We're not looking for a "perfect resume." We're looking for the right person. You might come from a background in retail, tech support, or customer service-but what matters more is how you connect. You're naturally curious, professionally inquisitive, and you love helping people articulate their ideas or work through a problem out loud.
You have a genuine interest in AI (even if you're not an expert yet), and you're hungry to learn the landscape. You want to build something meaningful and get in early on a fast-growing motion.
What You'll Get
We provide everything you need to succeed:
- A 6-Month On-Ramp: A $2,000/month guaranteed base salary for the first 3 months, followed by a $2,000/month draw against commission for months 4-6. This provides stability as you build your pipeline.
- Uncapped Earning Potential: After the on-ramp, you move to a straight commission model with 50% commission on upfront projects (average $10k, so $5k commission) and 25% recurring commission on monthly retainers.
- Comprehensive Training: Access to our full library of pre-recorded AI and Business training modules.
- A Full Tech Stack: We provide paid accounts for Otter.ai, Zoom, Manus, and our proprietary knowledge base platform.
- Marketing & Branding Assets: Your own website, email address, and swag to establish your brand in the Fort Collins market.
- Direct Mentorship: Weekly coaching calls to review your pipeline, role-play sales calls, and co-host your first roundtables.
The Bottom Line
If you love connecting with people, leading meaningful conversations, and helping others feel seen and heard-all while learning and working in the AI space-we'd love to meet you!
This is a conversation-led, curiosity-fueled, and relationship-first role.
