We are looking to expand our Sales Team by bringing on talented professionals for the roles of Seller Advisor, Business Advisor, and Sales Development Representative (SDR)! This is a fantastic opportunity to join an exciting, fast-paced company and gain deep insights into the online business world.

We’re on a mission to help more buyers and sellers achieve their goals. To reach our ambitious targets, we need driven, proactive salespeople who excel at building relationships and guiding clients through their journeys.

If you thrive on engaging with clients over the phone and assisting them in taking the next steps towards buying or selling their business, this could be a great role for you.

What is a Seller Advisor?

We are seeking a motivated and KPI-driven Seller Advisor to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for managing outbound and inbound calls with potential customers, ensuring a smooth and effective communication process. This role requires a proactive approach to assist sellers in completing necessary tasks and moving through the vetting process efficiently.

What’s Our Story?

Empire Flippers started in 2011. Back then, we were known as the AdSense Flippers, and we were all about building our own niche sites. We would monetize those sites via Google AdSense. Once the sites were making a little money, we would sell them on Flippa for 20x their net monthly profit.

We recorded our entire journey by blogging all about it.

It was a nice little business and soon we built quite a following of people who loved what we were up to. It got to the point where people asked us if we would use our Flippa account to sell their sites. They told us it would sell easier since we had the audience, and they would pay us a percentage of the sale.

So… we said yes.

It wasn’t long before we were selling way more of other people’s sites than our own.

We realized there was something here. Something big.

In 2012, we rebranded to Empire Flippers and became an online business brokerage in our own right. We launched our marketplace and became the “go-to” solution for people wanting to sell their online businesses.

Fast forward to today, we now have an established team with one thing in common; we’re all obsessed with online business. We have dedicated staff for each step of the selling and buying process — everyone from marketing and sales team members, to vetting and migration experts.

Now, we’re inviting you to become part of our story.

Job Requirements

We believe in hiring people who are a good fit with us culturally. We want people who are hungry to learn, but also people that will be fun to work with. We care more about your attitude and the values you bring to the table than specific hard skills you may or may not have.

This role does involve a lot of telephone work so to be a fit for this role, it’s vital that you aren’t afraid to pick up the phone and that you are able to give a warm and professional impression of our business.

You must love talking and building relationships. You enjoy the challenge (and reward) of handling the more complicated conversations. An interest in finance, e-commerce, or online business would all be beneficial.

You’re a confident self starter. 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 always 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.

We’re also looking for individuals with the following competencies:

Efficiency – Able to produce significant output with minimal wasted effort.
Honesty & Integrity – Does not cut corners ethically. Earns trust and maintains confidences. Does what is right, not just what is expedient. Speaks plainly and truthfully.
Organization & Planning – Plans, organizes, and schedules in an efficient, productive manner. Focuses on key priorities.
Follow-through on commitments – Lives up to verbal and written agreements, regardless of personal cost.
Analytical skills – Able to structure and process qualitative or quantitative data and draw insightful conclusions from it. Exhibits a probing mind and achieves penetrating insights.
Proactivity – Acts without being told what to do. Brings new ideas to the company.

Employee Benefits

This position is a fully remote role. During the first few months, your role will be probationary and your training and performance will be evaluated. Following probation, you will join our bonus sharing plan.

This role starts at $3,000/month base rate with more upside on the bonus. Once you join our bonus plan, there will be potential to earn above this depending on company performance. More details on that can be discussed during the interview.

We also offer paid, international and US healthcare coverage.

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 independent.

If this all sounds overwhelming yet exciting to you, then apply! You might be surprised how perfect you are for this role.
