What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Funding Associate ($100,000 - $300,000 OTE) position at Small Biz Heroes?
Location: Charlotte, NC (In-Office)
Compensation: $36,000 Base ($3,000 a month) Uncapped Commission ($100kβ$300k OTE)
Company: Small Biz Heroes | www.smallbizheroes.com
At Small Biz Heroes, we donβt just sell fundingβwe restore hope to small business owners whoβve been misled, rejected, or underserved by traditional lenders and predatory funders.
We're not here to hit quotas for the sake of a spreadsheet. We are here to protect, guide, and advocate for the men and women who are the backbone of the American economy.
Alternative business finance is a highly competitive, fast-paced, and grueling environment. This is not a passive desk job; it is a high-volume outbound sales role.
- You will execute 100 outbound dials and personalized cold outreach every single day for the first few months and beyond to self-source prospective clients and partners.
- You will at times spend your days cold-calling and emailing merchants who are bombarded with spam, highly skeptical, and quick to hang up.
- You will face professional rejection dozens of times a day. If you don't have the thick skin to shake off a "No" and dial the next number instantly, you will fail in this role.
- You must manage your pipeline with extreme precision in Salesforce, strictly following scripts and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
If you are looking for an easy, comfortable paycheck, please do not apply. But if you are a driven, competitive professional who wants to build a high-income career while fighting for small business owners with absolute integrityβthis is your calling.
