US-Based BDR -- TCG Supplier Outreach & Deal Closing

We run a collectible trading card platform serving the US market. We need a US-based business development rep to help us establish real, ongoing supply relationships with major TCG distributors and wholesalers. The goal is not just introductions -- we need closed supply agreements. A "closed deal" means a supplier who has agreed to work with us regularly and understands our fulfillment model. Our fulfillment model (important -- read carefully): We operate on a demand-triggered fulfillment basis. We do not hold inventory. When a user on our platform selects an item, we place the order with the supplier at that point. We need suppliers who can support this type of ongoing, synced supply relationship -- meaning they are willing to fulfill individual orders against our catalog on a regular basis. This model is low-friction for suppliers: no bulk commitments upfront, no returns, predictable and fast payment. Your responsibilities: Identify and contact major US-based TCG distributors and wholesalers (Pokemon, One Piece, graded cards, sealed product, sports cards). Pitch them on our supply model and close their agreement to work with us. Qualify suppliers on their ability to support demand-triggered fulfillment. Deliver confirmed, active supply relationships -- not just phone calls. Who we need: US-based only Experience in hobby, gaming, collectibles, or TCG distribution is a strong plus Comfortable with cold outreach, phone calls, and closing Proven B2B sales or supplier sourcing background In your proposal, please specify any existing relationships or access you have in the TCG or hobby distribution space. Engagement type: Hourly Est. hours: TBD, with check-in after first 10 hours to review progress
