Required Skills
Job Description
Our client is a boutique private equity marketing firm that connects high-net-worth individuals with exclusive investment opportunities in emerging technologies, pre-IPO ventures, and hedge fund allocations. Their small but mighty team operates with high precision, focusing on sourcing and engaging elite investors for a select few investment products with significant earning potential. This is a low-volume, high-impact sales environment where relationship-building, persistence, and professionalism matter more than speed or mass outreach.
Location:
Fully-Remote (Work from Home), 9 AM - 5 PM EST
About the Role:
We’re looking for a driven and personable Business Development Representative (BDR) to join a nimble team focused on investor prospecting. You’ll work directly with the founder, reaching out to a curated database of high-net-worth individuals to generate interest in alternative investment opportunities. Your goal is to qualify prospects and book calls—not to close deals. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on phone outreach, is confident speaking with affluent investors, and is excited about learning the language of private equity, hedge funds, and venture capital.
Key Responsibilities
Outbound Prospecting: Call through a pre-built list of high-net-worth individuals and engage them in introductory conversations about investment opportunities.
Qualifying Leads: Gauge interest, determine eligibility, and filter for fit based on investment preferences, risk appetite, and financial profile.
Appointment Setting: Book qualified prospects for sales calls with the founder and manage basic follow-ups and reminders.
Pipeline Hygiene: Maintain accurate notes and updates on lead interactions using basic tools (a lightweight CRM may be adopted).
Collaborative Support: Offer ideas and feedback to improve outreach scripts, positioning, and qualification criteria.
Self-Education: While financial expertise isn’t required, an openness to learn private equity terminology and product dynamics is important.
Must-Have Qualifications
1–3 years of experience in outbound phone-based prospecting, appointment setting, or sales development.
Comfortable engaging with high-net-worth individuals and senior-level professionals.
Exceptional spoken English with a clear, professional tone.
Proven ability to maintain consistent high-volume outreach.
Self-starter attitude with strong time management and autonomy.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
Exposure to financial services, investing, or private equity (even conversational).
Experience working for boutique firms, hedge funds, investor relations teams, or capital-raising groups.
Strong interest in learning about high-value investment products (e.g., pre-IPO shares, hedge fund allocations, PE funds).
If you’re a tenacious prospector who enjoys dialing smart and speaking with influential individuals, this is your chance to be part of a high-impact, low-ego team helping bring powerful investment opportunities to life.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
