Business Development Consultant – Lead Generator & Community Connector

Exit Factor of Minnetonka is looking for a high-energy Business Development Consultant who thrives on building relationships with small and mid-sized business owners. This is a 1099 commission-only role ideal for someone who loves networking, generating leads, and owning their income potential.

If you're motivated, great with people, and good at creating conversations that turn into opportunities, you will excel here.

What You'll Do

• Generate 20–30 qualified leads per month from local business owners
• Network with CPAs, lenders, wealth advisors, attorneys, and other referral partners

• Conduct discovery conversations with business owners
• Close 3 or more Exit Assessments per month
• Use our CRM to manage your pipeline and follow up efficiently

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a cold-calling churn-and-burn sales job. Success is built through community connection, credibility, and strong business-owner relationships.
