Company Overview

SMEVentures is the leading platform for search funds and entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) in Asia Pacific. We empower the growth and sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by bridging the gap between retiring business owners and the next generation of entrepreneurial talent. Our approach honours the legacy of SMEs while bringing innovative strategies for future growth.

About the Role

We are hiring an experienced Sales Development Representative to support our origination engine. You will work alongside our entrepreneurs to identify and qualify potential acquisition targets through outbound phone prospecting, then secure first conversations with qualified business owners.

This is a professional SDR role, not a commission-only seat. We are looking for someone who treats outbound prospecting as a craft and can build a repeatable book of qualified appointments week over week.

Requirements

  • Source prospects: Identify and contact potential sellers through outbound phone prospecting against targeted lists.
  • Qualify and book: Run qualification conversations and schedule high-quality appointments for our entrepreneurs.
  • Track and report: Maintain accurate records of outreach activity, conversations, and appointments in our CRM.
  • Hit targets: Meet weekly call volume and appointment-setting targets, contributing to a predictable origination pipeline.

What You'll Need:

  • Proven SDR experience: Prior success in an outbound SDR role, ideally in a professional services or B2B context.
  • Strong phone presence: Ability to build rapport quickly, communicate a clear value proposition, and handle objections with composure.
  • Resilience: Consistent activity in the face of rejection, and the discipline to maintain output over time.
  • CRM discipline: Comfortable working systematically inside a CRM and reporting against pipeline metrics.

Benefits

  • Make a Real Impact: Play a vital role in facilitating business acquisitions and helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams.
  • Performance-Driven Culture: We reward hard work and celebrate success. Your efforts will be recognized and rewarded through a competitive compensation structure with uncapped earning potential
  • Dynamic and Supportive Team: Join a team of passionate and driven individuals who are dedicated to helping each other succeed.

View company profile

We are SMEVentures, and we're passionate about safeguarding legacies and fostering the next generation of entrepreneurship in Australia and the wider Asia Pacific region. We established our firm in 2019 with a clear mission: to provide a smooth and reliable continuity solution for small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners who are looking to retire or embark on their next adventure. We understand that for many, their business is more than just an asset; it's their 'baby,' a culmination of years of hard work and dedication. Our unique approach is specifically designed to preserve and honor the legacy they've built by ensuring capable stewardship for the future.

Our model pairs talented, aspiring entrepreneurs with established SMEs in need of a succession plan. This creates a win-win situation: outgoing owners gain peace of mind knowing their business is in good hands, and incoming entrepreneurs get the dream-come-true opportunity to lead and grow an existing company. We employ an internationally proven buyout model known as the 'search fund,' which was originally developed at Harvard and Stanford in 1984. As a pioneer of this model in the Asia Pacific, our diverse team supports these entrepreneurs through every critical step of the process. This includes everything from meticulously researching attractive industries and sourcing potential acquisition opportunities to skillfully negotiating deals, assembling effective boards, and ultimately, managing the acquired companies. We believe SMEs are the engines of Australia's economy, and at a time when the APAC region is facing a significant family business succession crisis, we are proud to be importing and implementing a proven solution to address this challenge. Our focus is on finding great businesses and connecting them with top-notch entrepreneurial talent to ensure their continued success and contribution to the economy.
