About build3

We’re a mission driven startup studio (read more here) that builds impact oriented startups to better the mind, body and the earth. We work with Founders as their institutional co-founder until their venture is a self sufficient organisation and ready to scale. But we are not advisors, mentors, investors, incubators or accelerators - we are all of these! We are always co-building with the Founder, creatively, conscientiously, through the power of communities.

Your mission, should you choose to accept

(accountabilities)

Actual sales -
- Lead 1:1 calls with pre-qualified founder leads
- Understand their startup journey, struggles, and where they need support
- Pitch relevant Build3 programs based on their context
- Explain the value of build3’s programs in a sharp, relevant, non-fluffy way
- Follow up over Calls/WhatsApp/email to drive action
- Handle objections with empathy and intelligence (not pushy tactics)
- Coordinate over WhatsApp/email for follow-ups and confirmations
Owning the sales process -
- Keep CRM updated with lead status and feedback
- Track deal flow and conversion metrics weekly
- Maintain MIS reports and scorecards for the program funnel and department P&L
- Share insights with the GTM and program teams to improve conversion and experience
- Own the founder pipeline end-to-end: discovery → match → close
