M&A Specialist | Sales Closer | 100% Commission

The Opportunity
My client is seeking an M&A Specialist and Sales Closer to convert qualified inbound conversations with privately held business owners into signed sell-side M&A advisory engagements. You will work directly with founders and owners who are evaluating a sale, recapitalization, or other liquidity event, helping them understand the advisory process and determine whether the firm is the right partner for their objectives.
This is a consultative closing role that combines sales discipline with the judgment required for sensitive financial conversations. You will own the relationship from discovery through engagement-letter execution, then partner with senior bankers for a thoughtful handoff into transaction execution.
What You Will Do
• Lead high-value consultations with pre-qualified founders and owners of middle market businesses.
• Uncover each owner’s goals, transaction timing, readiness, valuation expectations, and decision criteria.
• Explain the firm’s sell-side M&A process, capabilities, positioning, and value proposition in clear, credible language.
• Build trust with financially sophisticated business owners and navigate questions related to timing, fees, valuation, confidentiality, and process.
• Advance qualified opportunities from discovery and follow-up through signed engagement letter.
• Maintain accurate CRM notes, opportunity stages, forecasts, next steps, and pipeline activity.
• Coordinate a seamless transition to senior bankers once an engagement is secured.
• Share practical feedback on lead quality, client sentiment, market conditions, and messaging.
What You Bring
• Proven success closing high-value, complex B2B services, financial products, or advisory engagements.
• Executive presence and the ability to communicate credibly with founders, owners, and senior leadership teams.
• Experience in M&A, investment banking, private equity, financial services, business brokerage, or professional services is preferred.
• Strong discovery, presentation, negotiation, relationship-building, and objection-handling skills.
• Disciplined follow-up habits and experience managing a multi-stage sales pipeline.
• Comfort with performance targets, accountability, and a 100% commission-only compensation model.
• Available to work remotely from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time.
• Based in the United States.
