Job Description
Our Client:
AR Business Brokers is a leading firm specializing in the sales and acquisition of small to mid-sized businesses across the Greater Toronto Area. They provide expert valuation, marketing, and negotiation services, helping entrepreneurs achieve their exit strategies and buyers find their next venture. They are committed to integrity, professionalism, and delivering outstanding results for their clients.
The Opportunity
You are the first point of contact for entrepreneurs and business owners considering the most significant financial event of their lives: buying or selling their company. Your goal isn't to close a deal, but to build enough rapport and curiosity to schedule a discovery consultation with one of the Senior Business Brokers. Over 80% will be warm leads. Consistency is key to appointments and ultimately closed transactions. This is a dynamic position combining elements of account management and call centre discipline.
