Linn1647545492 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 We want to help entrepreneurs be significantly more successful. Here’s your chance to join a fast growing, high-energy, organization solely focused on helping entrepreneurs build great companies. Job Description We need a startup company business plan writing nerd - someone that absolutely loves startup companies the way we do! We work with thousands of startup company entrepreneurs every month in an effort to help them launch their companies. We need someone who can join our team to help these entrepreneurs craft well-articulated business plans that investors will love. Different writers have different specialties. We're looking at smart people who can create as many of these documents as possible: Elevator Pitch. We take a big idea and help an entrepreneur pare it down to just a couple sentences. This can take weeks even with the best entrepreneur, so your ability to communicate and revise effectively is critical. Pitch Deck. Mastery at the art of PowerPoint. You know and love Microsoft's dated and archaic slide software and can make it sing songs for you. We create beautiful pitch decks for our clients to help them present their ideas to investors and partners. Business Plan. The meat of the deliverables including a strong presentation of the mechanics of the business, its operations, and the people behind it. You have a great understanding of marketing plans, financial plans, and operational plans. You put together beautiful gantt charts because you can. Projections. You understand how to get a company to $100 million in revenue in 4 years, even if they don't. You can work backward from key assumptions and build up forecasting models that hold up. You never use the phrase "this is conservative" because you know projections aren't. Financials. You can create Income Statements, Cash Flow Projections, Balance Sheets, and Pro Forma Projections. You have a strong command of the world of Excel, and a Pivot Table is your friend. Market Research. You can tell a client how many coffee shops serve Espresso in Boca Raton (answer: 53). You understand how to use "the InterWebs" to find key pieces of data that can hold up financial forecasts. You know what TAM means. Each plan writer works directly with our clients to gather requirements and manage their project to completion. We have a great deal of domain expertise that we want to be able to share with you in order to provide the benefit of our experience to our clients. We will spend lots of time teaching you the tricks of the trade. Compensation Compensation is a combination of base plus performance based on number of plans completed to the satisfaciton of our clients. We want to combine quality with efficiency and we will develop a plan customized to your work habits to help balance this with you. Position Requirements - A genuine interest in Entrepreneurship - The ability to consult AND close. - The ability to manage sales opportunities through a sales cycle - Effective pipeline management and utilization of a CRM system to track sales opportunities - Outstanding communication skills - you're talking to very smart entrepreneurs - Aptitude for basic customer service and sales techniques. - Professional appearance and demeanor. - A positive attitude and desire to help your clients. What You'll Take Away If you love entrepreneurship, this is better than any MBA or class you could ever take. You'll learn about all aspects of growing a startup company from identifying a market opportunity to securing your first round of Venture Capital. In the process you'll have the opportunity to help some of the millions of new startups become a reality. Our Environment We work in a casual, fun atmosphere. Not the kind of "casual, fun atmosphere" that a big corporation tells you about and then sticks you in a cubicle and ties you to some horrible middle manager. Our offices are located in Powell, nestled over a beautifully wooded ravine with floor to cieling windows of natural light. You can literally see chipmunks playing while you're on the phone. An outdoor patio surrounds the building with deck chairs and picnic tables which is great in the Spring and totally useless in the Winter. The team is experienced and highly energetic. We are all entrepreneurs ourselves. We want to conquer the world, and we look for people who share our passion. What We Do Go BIG helps entrepreneurs start and grow successful companies. Every day our team helps entrepreneurs start their businesses, craft business plans, and pitch investors. To date, we have helped thousands of entrepreneurs obtain millions in funding and grow their businesses. It's what we love to do and we're looking for people who share our passion. About Our Founder Go BIG was built for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. Our Founder, Wil Schroter, has built 8 startup companies in the past 17 years from pure startups to companies surpassing $2 billion in sales. His startups include Blue Diesel (now inVentiv), Swapalease.com, Go BIG Network, Bizplan.com, GotCast.com, Unsubscribe.com, Affordit.com, and Virtucon Ventures. Wil has been recognized by the Ernst & Young entrepreneur of the Year Award and the U.S. Small Business Association Young entrepreneur of the Year Award.
