Career Opportunity
Business Coach
Successful Marketing Strategist looking to form a
partnership with a small business coach/consultant
I’ve developed a process where I can find more than $10,000
for ANY small business owner… and do so in less than 45 minutes.
I've been offering this service to small business owners and it's
resulting in more business than I can possibly handle.
If you’re an experienced business coach,
or you’re interested in becoming one and
you have a solid business background, I
would like to speak with you.
Willing to train the “Right Candidate” if
you have what it takes.
