Company Description
Myriad Acquisitions Company is a privately owned business that acquires small and medium-sized UK businesses. When making an acquisition, we work directly with business owner, ensuring that we run a respectful and straightforward process.
Role Description
This is a temporary and remote freelance contract.
This role is one of the earliest stages of our acquisition process. It involves calling UK businesses to find out whether the owner would consider selling their company. Ahead of calling, you will qualify the business, then call them with an aim of scheduling a formal meeting with our acquisitions team. You’ll log outcomes and notes accurately in our tracker/CRM.
20 hours per week, £1,000 per month base, plus a performance bonus of £50 for every qualified meeting you successfully schedule (commission is uncapped). Booking more than 10 meetings in a week is achievable.
This role involves cold calling, however, you’re not selling a product, you’re calling business owners to see if they’d consider selling their company. That usually means less resistance than a typical sales outreach role, because many owners are open to at least a short conversation about an exit (even if the timing isn’t right today.)

- Fluent English
