Business Coach / Consultant, Exit Strategy

Exit Factor Is Expanding in New Jersey!

The Opportunity: A Historic Market Transition

The exit planning landscape is undergoing a significant shift. An estimated 75% of small to mid-sized business owners will transition their companies over the next decade, creating a large domestic market for exit strategy and value-growth consulting.

Exit Factor is the nation's largest consulting firm dedicated exclusively to this space. We are expanding our presence in New Jersey and are looking for motivated professionals in Morris and Union County who want to work directly with business owners in an advisory capacity.

The Model: Independent Consulting with Autonomy

This is a 1099, performance-based consulting role designed for individuals who enjoy working with business owners and value flexibility, autonomy, and long-term upside. The role may be structured as a primary professional focus or as a complementary advisory practice.

Consultants are responsible for developing relationships locally and delivering one-on-one advisory engagements using Exit Factor's established framework. You control how you structure your time and how you build your local presence, while working within a defined methodology and quality standards.

Compensation is commission and revenue share-based, scaling with client engagement and practice growth.

Training, Tools & Support

Professional Certification & Training:

One-week, in-person training at corporate headquarters, followed by ongoing education and peer forums.

Proprietary Consulting Framework:

A certified methodology for value growth and exit readiness, enabling consistent, professional client delivery from the outset.

Peer Network:

Access to a national community of experienced exit consultants for collaboration and shared learning.

Infrastructure & Brand Support:

CRM, automation, and lead-nurture systems, supported by a nationally recognized brand-while consultants retain control of local market development. Technical guidance and oversight are available to ensure consistent delivery quality.

The Role: Practice Development & Client Advisory

This role is suited for professionals who prefer ownership over outcomes and accountability for results.

Core Responsibilities:

• Market development: Build relationships through networking, referrals, centers of influence, and direct outreach

• Client advisory: Lead one-on-one engagements with business owners focused on operational improvement, value creation, and exit readiness

• Local presence: Establish credibility and trusted relationships within the New Jersey business community

• Quality adherence: Apply Exit Factor's consulting framework and maintain engagement standards

Who This Role Can Be a Fit For

This role is ideal for people with experience in:

• Business ownership or leadership, where client relationships and revenue growth were part of the role

• Consulting, advisory, or professional services with a strong client-development component

• Sales, relationship management, or other roles requiring proactive market engagement

Direct exit planning experience is not required. What matters most is comfort with business development, accountability for results, and the ability to build local relationships.

This Role Is Not a Fit If

• You are seeking a salaried or fully directed position

• You prefer highly structured, internally focused, or purely analytical work

• You are uncomfortable with business development and client relationship-building
