NEEDED: Executive Business Development Specialist
Part-Time | Remote | U.S.-Based Only | Hourly + Uncapped Commission to $100k+
MetaExperts® is looking for one or two experienced Executive Business Development Specialists who know how to create conversations with senior executives and turn them into qualified business opportunities.
This is a part-time, virtual role for an established professional with significant experience selling high-value products or services into manufacturing and industrial companies.
You must be comfortable picking up the phone and speaking with CEOs, Presidents, COOs, CROs, VPs and other senior executives. You must write exceptionally well, communicate professionally, handle rejection and be persistent without being obnoxious.
If you don’t enjoy talking with prospective customers and creating new business conversations, this isn’t the role for you. Only complete responses to our instructions will be considered.
Who We Are
MetaExperts® is a service brand of MetaOps, Inc., an established management consulting and talent solutions company serving manufacturing and industry.
Thought leadership is central to how we go to market. CEO Ron Crabtree hosts LinkedIn Live events, MetaPod™ podcast conversations, executive workshops and other programs that generate a steady stream of executives engaging with MetaExperts.
Your job is to help turn those connections into business conversations.
Before applying, check us out and decide if you genuinely want to be part of what we’re building:

What You Will Do
Follow up with executives engaging with our LinkedIn Live events, MetaPod, assessments and thought leadership.
Use LinkedIn, email, telephone and voicemail to create and nurture executive conversations.
Reconnect with previous contacts and develop opportunities with channel and strategic partners.
Qualify prospects against defined Ideal Customer Profiles and schedule executive meetings for our sales team.
Directly sell selected MetaExperts offerings when appropriate.
Create effective outreach messages, emails, call and voicemail scripts.
Maintain CRM and daily campaign reporting and direct support team members conducting prospect research.
Successful performers are expected to generate approximately 20 qualified executive-level meetings per month. We measure activity, but qualified conversations, opportunities and profitable new business are what matter.
You May Be a Strong Fit If You Have
10+ years of meaningful business, industry, sales or business development experience.
A track record selling high-value products or services into manufacturing and industrial companies.
The executive presence to confidently engage C-suite and senior leaders.
Exceptional written and verbal American English communication skills.
Strong telephone skills and a willingness to initiate unsolicited conversations.
Persistence, resilience, initiative and strong follow-through.
Strong Microsoft Office/Excel and modern CRM experience.
Experience in management consulting, professional services, technology, logistics or industrial solutions is particularly relevant.
Schedule & Compensation
Minimum 15 hours/week | 100% virtual | U.S.-based only | Eastern or Central time zones preferred
Work is primarily performed during 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Central Time, with a short daily weekday management meeting. W-2 or independent-contractor arrangements may be considered.
This can be ideal for an accomplished professional who wants meaningful income potential without traditional full-time employment.
Compensation is hourly, plus uncapped commissions. Qualified opportunities that become business can earn approximately 5% of resulting profit, with 10% or more possible for greater involvement in developing and closing business.
One successful engagement previously generated approximately $60,000 in commission in a single year at a 5% rate. For strong performers, $100,000+ annual total compensation is possible—but not guaranteed.
