Job Overview:
We are looking to bring on a few talented sales professionals to join our Sales Department in the role of Business Analyst. Training will commence remotely on June 1, 2021 and will run approximately 6-8 weeks.
While the sales team works best during business hours in US time zones, the role itself is 100% location independent, allowing you to live anywhere in the world (*see USA resident requirements below). Be it the beaches in Mexico or in a mountain resort in the Swiss Alps – the choice is yours.
This is a huge opportunity for you to work with one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. and learn the ins and outs of the online business world. Over the last couple of years, our company has seen explosive growth, and there is no sign of it slowing down. In order to keep hitting our goals, we need to expand our horizons and improve our customer experience to a point that makes us the de-facto standard for buying and selling online businesses. Your work will help propel the industry forward to new levels not seen before.
Are you ready to get started?

So What is a Business Analyst?
A Business Analyst is a sales professional who works directly with buyers and sellers on the EF marketplace and is responsible for establishing and maintaining communications with all customers.
The successful buyer/seller experience includes maximizing sales/profitability by helping customers understand EF processes and the benefits of working with us as the #1 curated marketplace for buying, selling, and investing in online businesses. The person in this role must love talking and negotiating with people.
Should you be selected, and after a three month probationary period – if it is a good fit for everyone – you will be invited to join our sales team officially, where you will become a fully fledged Business Analyst.
What’s the Opportunity at Empire Flippers?
Becoming a Business Analyst makes you a critical part of the team at Empire Flippers.
You will represent our brand and be the face of Empire Flippers to buyers and sellers while learning skills that will last you a lifetime in the online business world.
Your work ethic and skill set will have a direct impact on our growth. We will open up our Rolodex, offer you training, and give you insights into the online business space that no college course or paid informational product could ever teach you.
And you won’t be just another employee at a giant corporation.
You will connect with entrepreneurs running hundreds of sites, as well as entrepreneurs running gigantic global e-commerce brands with name recognition.
Because of our fast growth, that also means new needs will arise. We will need good, trained “hands on deck” to handle that growth. If we’re a good fit for each other, you can be at the forefront of that growth and take advantage of it.
The Details to Keep in Mind
Remember, we’re not going to throw you into the fire right away.
When you first come on board, you’re going to learn about our company. We will do a deep dive into how our processes and systems work and teach you about each department within the business.
As you get better acquainted with our company and processes, you will dive into the low-level tasks, starting off with plenty of guidance and later becoming an independent fully fledged Business Analyst.
Sales Director Alex Champagne and a few of the Senior Business Analysts will review every application that comes our way. For those we think would be a good fit, we will schedule an interview with you. Typically, we do two rounds of interviews before we decide.
The cut-off date for applying is May 2nd. This will leave us a month to review all of the applications and give you time if you’re hired to prepare for your start date of June 1st, 2021.
If this all sounds overwhelming yet exciting to you, then apply! You might be surprised how perfect you are for this role.
Job Responsibilities:
- Taking calls with potential sellers and answering their questions on how we go about selling their business
- Calling people who have unlocked businesses and guiding them to the next step in our sales funnel
- Contacting warm leads and qualifying them before sending them to the next step (whether that’s reviewing listings or talking with one of our Senior Business Analysts)
- Returning emails to potential buyers who are looking at using our marketplace, but still have questions about our process
- Working closely with our Senior Business Analysts to set up our Buyer-Seller Conference Calls
As a Business Analyst, you will support our Senior Business Analysts as they negotiate deals that are win-win for both our buyers and sellers.
Job Requirements:
Here is the sequence of events we use when hiring our new sales professionals:
- You record a YouTube video* explaining who you are and why you’re a good fit for the position, fill out an application, and submit it by May 2nd, 2021.
- We review submissions and schedule interviews in early May.
- Second interviews are done mid-May, and a final decision is made.
- The chosen applicant will be announced with a start date of June 1st, 2021.
YouTube Video Requirements:
We will only accept submissions that include a YouTube URL. Please leave the video “unlisted” in preferences and share the link with us. The quality of the video doesn’t matter, and there are no bonus points for editing. We simply want (up to) three minutes of you explaining (based on your previous experience):
- Why this sales position is an excellent fit for you and us
- Why you think you’re a good fit to work with our prospective customers
If you’re thinking about applying but are worried you might not have enough (insert excuse here) — don’t worry. If you want to build something more than just a 9-to-5 job, then click the “apply” button below.
*US resident requirements: we will accept candidates residing in Texas, Colorado, or Florida, as we are registered for payroll in these states. Otherwise, US candidates should plan to live abroad or have plans to relocate to Texas, Colorado or Florida.
We have a no-side project policy: we do not allow any ownership, association, or affiliations with online businesses or websites. If you are the owner of an online business, then you will be expected to either sell the business before you join us or sunset it upon accepting a job offer from us. If you are not comfortable with this, please do not apply.
A background check is required.
Who You Are at Empire Flippers:
We believe in hiring people who are a good fit for us culturally. We want people who are hungry to learn, but also people that will be fun to work with.
However, that doesn’t mean we aren’t looking for a certain kind of skill set.
While no previous work experience is needed, experience in sales is a big plus. Any background in e-commerce or online business is also helpful. However, we are looking to train the right person, so if you don’t have that experience, don’t let it stop you from applying.
You must love talking and negotiating with people.
You need to be able to pick up the phone and call someone who doesn’t know you and see how they are doing. This isn’t cold-calling, but it won’t be super warm, either. Everyone you call will have opted into our marketplace and given out their phone number, so they will know about Empire Flippers. It is your task to make sure they understand our processes and see why we are someone they want to work with.
You can spot risks and opportunities.
Every day, you will speak with entrepreneurs about scaling businesses, liabilities, and how good certain assets are as an investment. Over time, you will need to be able to spot what are genuine risks and genuine opportunities for people looking to acquire online businesses. You will need to be able to confidently tell the entire story of a possible acquisition. While investing in online businesses can bring great returns, it can also be a volatile space to play in. We respect our audience’s intelligence by telling them about both the risks and rewards.
You’re a problem solver.
Selling a business is an intimate experience for most entrepreneurs, especially if it is the first business someone is selling or buying. That means you will face obstacles and challenges. It will be up to you to make sure those challenges are met head-on and solved.
You’re excited about expanding the Empire Flippers brand.
We love hiring people that are passionate about the online business industry. In many ways, we really are changing lives. We want you to be on board with our mission, participate in industry conversations, and get people excited about working with us.
Benefits:
Our company is built on a culture of remote work, travel, and living life on your terms. Being a location-independent full-time position is one of the many benefits!
We aren’t going to chain you to a cubicle. You’ll be free to work anywhere in the world that serves your creativity best. The choice is yours. While we’re an Inc. 5000 company, we’re not a Fortune 500 company. You won’t be some badge number in the corporate machine. We will want your input and insight. As you gain more experience, we are going to rely on you to make our process better and smoother for our sellers while also helping to increase the number of high-quality businesses that go live on our marketplace.
When you first start off, you will be training with our Sales team remotely for 6 to 8 weeks. We typically meet in-person during this time, but due to COVID-19 and global travel restrictions, we will not have any travel requirements during your three month probationary period.
However, our company holds biannual meetups where we gather in a fun location and collaborate over the latest projects and ideas. The purpose of the meetup is team building – we make sure there are a variety of activities outside of company presentations and breakout sessions. Our meetups were on hold for 2020, but we plan to see each other again in 2021. So dust off your passport, and we’ll aim to see you there (once we figure out the date/ location)!
For the first 3 months, you will be paid $3,000 USD per month during the probation period. After 3 months, you will be gradually introduced to our compensation plan. Within 12 months, you can expect to earn $50,000 – $60,000 USD per year depending on performance, and have paid, international healthcare coverage.
