Business Advisor Training Classes

Rapid Finance is expanding our sales team and we are now recruiting for Business Advisor training classes. A Business Advisor is responsible for building relationships with small to mid-sized businesses and offering them financing solutions. This is a B2B sales role where you will be consulting with business owners on a daily basis to help them achieve their financial goals. We're looking for motivated, ambitious individuals who are looking to start or continue to grow a thriving career in B2B sales.

Build Trust : Become a trusted advisor to your clients through the delivery of world-class client service. Understand their business and gather information about their financial situations, goals, and objectives. Must be able to provide value and sell yourself first and foremost.

Educate and Advise : Evaluate and understand hundreds of financial programs and options for small-to-medium-sized businesses. Advise clients on the financing process and recommend the best capital solution for their needs.

Fast Pace : This is a very fast sales cycle and work environment. You will be communicating with many different clients on a daily basis and most transactions are completed in 1-3 days. End-to-End Sales Role : Our Business Advisors are responsible for facilitating the sales process from start to finish. This includes prospecting clients via call, email, & text. We leverage automated sales support to aid in initial prospecting, but you take over once a client replies or calls in. Part of the prospecting process is done via outbound phone calls. Business Advisors are expected to make 70+ calls per day between initial calls and follow-up work.

The Journey To Business Advising : Upon starting as a Business Advisor, you will complete a one-month, hands-on training program to get you ready before you hit the sales floor. This training program is heavily dependent on repetition and practice. You will learn the specific sales plays & training, hear them in action from current / previous Business Advisors, and then put them to practice in repetition sessions. You will also be trained on the support systems that will help you be a successful Business Advisor. This includes phone systems and other sales support technology, qualification guidelines, underwriting / funding process, Rapid Finance Marketplace, etc. Once initial training is complete, you will continue to hone your skills with our Sales Director while in a production role. On-the-job training includes continued group training as well as listening to calls and getting direct feedback on how you can improve your process to increase conversions. We pride ourselves on continued coaching to better our Business Advisors and help them climb the promotion tiers within the Business Advisor role. It's one thing to retain information that is trained, we need people who can put it into play and have the discipline to execute on it every time. Rapid Finance will not sponsor applicants for work visas of any kind for this position. Total compensation package includes a base pay of $30K plus commissions and additional cash incentives. Compensation expectation in total is $125,000-$175,000 per year.
