CAREERS · INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

Business Development Representative

You will be the first friendly voice a business owner hears from Asterion. You call owners of small and mid-sized businesses, ask a few honest questions about where their work is stuck, and book a free 30-minute call with our founder, Jonah, when we can really help. Our calling software keeps track of every call, so it is easy and fair. Each day you work your list, write down what happened, and follow up on the callbacks you promised.

WHY ASTERION

A company worth growing with.

Asterion helps businesses bring AI and custom software into the way they actually work: the tools they already use, the processes that eat their week. We are growing, and we need good people to grow with.

  • Real work that matters. You help real business owners fix real problems. No busywork, no scripts for their own sake.
  • A company still being built. We are building this company on purpose. The people who join early shape how we work and can become a big part of it.
  • Fair, flexible and hands-off. Remote, with clear goals and room to do the work your way. Jonah, the founder, is not a strict boss: we want smart people who work hard and treat each other and customers fairly.
  • You earn more when you win more. We agree on your pay together before you start, no surprises. Do great work and you can make a lot of money doing this.

A NORMAL WEEK

What the work looks like.

  • Pick your calling sessions and work the queue the CRM hands you: businesses that are open right now first, then the callbacks people asked for.
  • On every call: read why we are calling, open with the short call guide, listen, and tap the outcome. If nobody answers, leave your recorded voicemail with one click.
  • When an owner is interested, book the review on Jonah’s calendar from inside the call, and write down what they told you in their own words.
  • Keep your callbacks and follow-ups the same day, and respect an immediate “don’t call me” every time.
  • Once a week, look at your numbers with Jonah and sharpen what is working.

WHAT YOU WOULD OWN

Yours to run.

  • Your calling sessions and the queue of companies you are working.
  • The quality of every first conversation: honest, curious, never pushy.
  • Every note, outcome and next step, recorded the same day.
  • The callbacks you promised.
  • Booked reviews that actually happen.

HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED

What a good month looks like.

  • Dials per day and real conversations with owners (a voicemail or no answer is not a conversation).
  • Reviews booked, and reviews held. A booking that never shows does not count; held reviews are what matter most.
  • Clean records: honest outcomes, notes in the owner’s words, and every do-not-call honored.
  • We set your weekly targets together once you start, and look at them every week.

SKILLS

What we need from you.

Must have

  • Clear spoken English, and the energy to keep going after hearing “no”.
  • The judgement to ask a good question instead of pitching, and the honesty never to invent a problem.
  • Self-managed and reliable: you show up for your calling sessions without being chased.
  • A quiet place to call from, a computer and a headset.

Nice to have

  • Cold-calling or inside-sales experience, especially to business owners.
  • Comfort in a CRM.
  • Curiosity about AI and software.

TOOLS AND PEOPLE

What you would use, and who you would work with.

Tools

  • Asterion’s own CRM app (Mac or Windows): your call queue, notes, tasks and calendar.
  • Phone calls placed from inside the app, every one logged.
  • A live AI call coach that suggests answers and next lines while you talk.
  • Booking from the call straight onto Jonah’s calendar.

Who you work with

  • Jonah, the founder, who runs every review and gets your handoff and notes.
  • The other caller on the team, to compare notes and share what works.

YOUR VIDEO

Show us who you are, for this role.

You do not need any AI experience. We will train you. What we care about most is that you are dedicated, hard-working and want to stick with us and grow with the company. Be yourself: we would much rather meet you than a perfect script.

What to say in your video

  1. Who you are, where you are based, and why this role interests you.
  2. Do a 30-second practice cold-call opener to a business owner (a manufacturer, a distributor, an insurance agency or a contractor). Talk to the camera as if it is the owner.
  3. In one sentence, what would you say if they replied, “Not interested”?
  4. How many hours a week you can give, and when you could start.

Your phone is fine, one take is fine, and it does not need to be polished. Sit somewhere quiet with good light and talk to the camera like you would to a person. Send a file or a link (Google Drive, YouTube unlisted, Loom or similar).
