Business Developer Partner - Contractor

*** Before anything else ***

There is unlimited earning potential, and this is a 1099 independent contractor, commission-based role. Even though there will be no salary-based compensation or any type of employer benefits initially (unless offered in the future additionally after exceptional sales success) a large and consistent income can be made.

We will be open to reviewing the contract terms and discussing a salary-based compensation after a few months of collaboration.

Typically, Business Developers can earn $120k-$300k in total annual income, with commissions of up to 50% on closed contracts, with diligent efforts after 6-12 months (paid out monthly).
