Business owners appreciate authenticity and can quickly recognize a scripted sales pitch. Success in this role comes from having real conversations, asking thoughtful questions, and building trust, not forcing meetings. Our outreach process is continually evolving, and we're looking for someone who can provide feedback, identify patterns, and help improve the system over time. Compensation * $25/hour base pay * Performance-based commission for qualified meetings booked * $200 bonus per closed client Strong performers who consistently book high-quality meetings have the opportunity to earn meaningful additional commission. What Qualifies as a Commissionable Meeting? A meeting qualifies for commission when the prospect attends the scheduled discovery call and has a clear understanding of the following: 1. They have genuine interest in the service 2. They understand the service and are comfortable with that general investment level. 3. Their business is a legitimate fit for the services, and they see value in the service. 4. The overall quality of appointments supports a healthy close rate, with a target of approximately 1–2 new clients closed for every 10 qualified meetings booked. The goal is to prioritize quality over quantity by setting meetings with businesses that are informed, interested, and aligned with what Honest Aux offers.
