What is Exit Factor?
Exit Factor is a business consulting firm. Our passion is helping small to medium size businesses increase their profit, efficiency, and value of their business to prepare for the sale of the company in the future. We do this through business valuations, 1:1 consulting, and online programs. We work with companies between $0 - $30 million in revenue across the United States in various industries.
We are a small team ourselves but owned by a large global organization. We have the feel of a small business with the resources of a multinational company.
The Opportunity:
Exit Factor is expanding in the Triangle, and we need proven business developers who thrive on
generating pipeline, building relationships, and closing deals. You'll be introducing business
owners to a service they desperately need but didn't know existed—exit planning and business
value creation.
This isn't cold calling or quota management. It's strategic relationship-building in an untapped
market where your success is limited only by your drive.
What You'll Do:
Generate qualified opportunities through networking, LinkedIn outreach, and strategic
partnerships with CPAs, lenders, wealth advisors, and M&A professionals.
Close Exit Assessments: Your primary target is 1 Exit Assessment per week (52+ annually). You also close consulting programs for additional commission.
Build a referral ecosystem: Develop 100+ Power Partner relationships that feed you
consistent qualified leads.
Own your success: You control your schedule, methods, and earning potential. This is your
business to build.
The Market Advantage
We're serving business owners who are:
- Making good money but have no freedom- Working 60+ hours/week, trapped in daily operations
- Uncertain if their business will fund their retirement dreams
- Yearning for an exit strategy and freedom we provide
The market is massive. The need is urgent. The opportunity is yours.
What Makes This Role Different
No micromanagement. We measure outcomes (Exit Assessments closed), not your schedule.
You're a 1099 contractor running your own business development practice.
Proven methodology. Our sales process, materials, and training set you up for success. You're
not figuring this out alone.
Multiple lead sources. Networking, LinkedIn, Referral Partners, consultant networks, marketing
leads—diversified pipeline.
Real support. Training, CRM (HubSpot), marketing materials, weekly coaching. You focus on
selling; we provide the infrastructure.
Who You Are
- Experienced: 10+ years in B2B sales, preferably professional services
- Internally driven: You don't need quotas or external management to perform
- Relationship builder: Networking energizes you; you excel at building trust
- Resilient: You handle rejection well and persist until you get clear yes/no
- Entrepreneurial: You treat this like your own business (because it is)
Compensation Model
Commission-only: Earn on every engagement closed (Exit Assessments + consulting
programs)
Target performance:
- Close 1 Exit Assessment/week minimum (52 annually)
