About Trazo Ventures
We’re an AI consulting firm. We help companies go from “we should be using AI” to actually using it. Every engagement starts with an AI Roadmap, a prioritized plan that we then build ourselves or alongside your in-house team. We also rescue AI projects that stalled and help companies turn their data into new products and revenue.

The role
You book 30-minute discovery calls between our team and business leaders who have a problem we can solve. You find the companies, get their attention, and get the call on our calendar. We run the call.

This is a remote, flexible-hours, independent contractor role with performance-only pay. We don’t provide leads. Finding the right companies is part of the job.

What you’ll do

  • Build prospect lists of owners, operators, and operating partners
  • Run cold outreach by email, LinkedIn, and phone if you like
  • Follow up, handle early objections, and book calls on our calendar
  • Log every conversation in our CRM so we can see what’s working
  • Work your own hours and your own way. We pay for results, not time spent.

Pay

  • $100 for every qualified meeting held, paid weekly. Five held meetings in a week is $500.
  • Commission on signed clients: 10% of the first milestone payment, plus 5% of cash collected over the following 6 months.
  • No cap on either.

What counts as a qualified meeting
All three must be true:

  1. The 30-minute discovery call actually happens. A scheduled call doesn’t count, and a no-show doesn’t count until it’s rescheduled and held.
  2. The attendee is an owner, C-level executive, VP or Director of Operations, or an operating partner. They must be able to make decisions within the company.
  3. The attendee has a real problem they want to solve, which they’ve described to you before the call.

You’re a good fit if you

  • Have booked meetings through cold outreach (SDR, BDR, lead gen, or a sales internship all count)
  • Write clear, personable emails and LinkedIn messages
  • Learn a new industry’s pain points quickly
  • Are comfortable with performance-only pay and want to grow with a young company

Students and recent grads are welcome to apply. This is not a fit if you need guaranteed income.

To apply, answer these four questions:

  1. Describe a time you booked meetings through cold outreach: channel, volume, and result.
  2. Write a 4-sentence cold email to the COO of a 100-person logistics company about finding where AI could save them time.
  3. Why you’re interested in the role and previous experience that is relevant to the role
  4. How many hours a week can you commit?
