🚀 Business Development Representative (BDR)🚀

Help legacy businesses thrive. Hustle. Connect. Close.

Have you ever wanted to be in high-ticket sales? Or an opportunity to break into M&A / investment banking!? Here's your chance! We looking for a savage cold caller that wants to make a ton of money, but willing to grind for it.

We’re Boom—an AI-native succession platform designed to streamline, democratize, and accelerate the sale of legacy industrial businesses. We’re venture-backed by the likes of Motivate VC, who believed in us early and are doubling down for seed round! Since our founding, we’ve skyrocketed from $0 mid last year to over $750K in ARR today.

At Boom, we’re not just building technology—we’re transforming how small businesses navigate succession. Our "Succession as a Service" platform uses cutting-edge AI agents to help Baby Boomer-owned industrial SMBs seamlessly transition knowledge, leadership, and ownership to the next generation of great entrepreneurs.

We’re seeking a Business Development Representative (BDR) who thrives on cold calling, loves the chase, and is hungry to build something massive from the ground up. If you get a thrill from turning cold leads into appointments, are energized by connecting with people, and want to play a key role in a multi-billion-dollar market, this is your shot.

Why Boom?

Ground-floor opportunity: Be among the first sales hires at a rocket ship startup.

Massive market: Baby Boomers own over 2 million SMBs—most without succession plans. We’re fixing that.

Innovative product: Sell a game-changing AI solution that business owners actually need.

Equity & growth: Competitive pay, meaningful equity, and massive career upside.

Real impact: Help preserve legacies, save jobs, and revitalize local economies.

What You’ll Do

📞 Own the top of the sales funnel—cold call, cold email, and prospect like a boss (We provide all leads!)

🎯 Qualify leads and set up meetings for our closing team.

🚀 Work directly with leadership to refine messaging and strategy.

💡 Become an expert in SMB succession and how Boom’s solution delivers value.

📈 Hit and exceed targets—because winning feels good.

What We’re Looking For

You love the grind: Cold calling 100 dials per day to industrial SMBs doesn't scare you

Resilient AF: You don’t take no personally and bounce back fast.

Strong communicator: You can hold a conversation, ask the right questions, and build rapport quickly.

Hungry to learn: You’re coachable, eager to improve, and hungry for success.

Startup mentality: You thrive in fast-paced environments and love wearing multiple hats.

Money Motivated: Wants to make $500K or more!
