About Us
Axia Growth is a buy-side deal sourcing firm. We build proprietary origination pipelines for PE firms, independent sponsors, search funds, M&A advisors, brokers, and banks. Off-market deal flow that never reaches a broker’s auction list. We have sourced over $500M to date.
The Role
You own the live owner-conversation queue for one or more client mandates. You call business owners about selling their company, screen them against the mandate’s investment criteria, and get the ones who fit in front of the client’s deal team. We measure you on qualified meetings. One meeting with an owner who fits the thesis beats ten who don’t. Read the trial period section before you apply. Every analyst starts there.
What You’ll Do
- Work the live call and reply queue from active origination campaigns
- Screen owners against mandate criteria: industry, revenue/EBITDA, geography, structure, timeline
- Handle the objections that come up in a first sell-side conversation: valuation, confidentiality, “not right now”
- Follow up until you get a decision either way
- Book qualified owners with the client’s deal team
- Log dispositions, criteria fit, and notes in our CRM
- Tell us what you hear from the market: what responds, what’s too tight, which objections repeat
The Trial Period (how everyone starts)
We hire off performance on the phones. Every new analyst starts on a paid 7-day trial, same terms for everyone.
What the trial is
Up to 7 days of cold calling. No mandate screening or client-facing meetings yet.
You get the dialer, the lists, the scripts, and live training before your first call.
How you get paid during the trial
You earn a stipend on each day you clear a call threshold:
- 300+ calls in a day: $50 for that day
- 500+ calls in a day: $65 for that day
Every qualified appointment you book during the trial pays a bonus on top, same structure as the full role (campaign-dependent, around $50 per shown, qualified meeting).
The trial pays no hourly rate. A day under 300 calls earns no stipend, so your only pay for that day is any appointment bonus. We say this twice because people miss it.
How the trial ends
Strong numbers can end it early. Some people come off trial after one day.
It can also run all 7 days and end with us passing. That happens.
If we bring you on, you move to the full analyst terms below.
You sign off on these terms in writing before day one. If the structure doesn’t work for you, tell us before the trial starts.
Compensation (after the trial)
- $20/hr base
- Bonus per shown, qualified meeting, set per mandate (around $50)
- Around $40/hr OTE at expected volume
- Contract/fractional, 2-4 hrs per business day, flexible within US time zones
What We’re Looking For
Must-have
- You can hold a conversation with a business owner, founder, principal, or MD, and you will make a high volume of calls to get there
- Commercial judgment. You can tell a real fit from a polite yes.
- Clear writing and clear speech
- Self-direction, with consistent availability during agreed hours (flexible, US time zones)
- Honesty about your experience, and a clear head about the first two weeks being hard
Nice-to-have
- 1-3 years in B2B SDR, appointment setting, inside sales, or origination
- Recent grad
- Exposure to M&A, brokerage, investment banking, PE, or financial services
- Deal-screening literacy: revenue/EBITDA, add-backs, buyer thesis
- Prior fractional or contract work
Location
Remote. You must be based in the US, Canada, or the UK.
Compensation
$ 20 – $ 40 per hour
