Our client is a leading mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm in North America and has closed more deals in the middle-market than any M&A firm, business broker or other organization in the past decade. What does an M&A advisory firm do? Simply put, they help business owners navigate the complicated process of selling their companies. Our client has been named to the Inc. 500 and recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in America. They also consistently rank as a top firm by The M&A Advisor and Thomson Reuters. They are actively hiring for their outbound sales team, and we have been engaged to help them identify and recruit the best sales talent in multiple markets.

As a Senior Business Advisor (SBA) you will be helping business owners begin to think strategically about one of the most significant financial transactions of their lives, the sale of their business. The importance of your role cannot be overstated. You will be given unlimited leads, and through outbound cold calling, introduce our industry leading M&A services. 

What makes a great SBA? You must possess the ability to initiate and direct high level conversations with business owners. Additionally, a strong phone presence and a comfort making cold calls to business owners on a daily basis is required. You will engage in conversations that help business owners begin to think strategically about their exit strategy (selling their business). You will receive the best training in the industry, including ongoing education, support, encouragement, and coaching from a seasoned sales manager who is committed to helping you succeed.  You do not need Mergers & Acquisitions experience to succeed!
