Business Development Representative

About the Company

Ventzon is a loyalty rewards platform built for independent local businesses. We give coffee shops, barbershops, gyms, restaurants, and other local businesses a simple digital loyalty program — no hardware, no setup fees, and no technical knowledge required.

Customers check in by scanning a QR code, collect stamps, and earn rewards. We're an early-stage startup growing fast and looking for driven people to help us build something that genuinely helps local communities.

About the Role

This is a school-year role for college students, freshman through senior. You'll walk into local businesses near your campus, introduce owners to Ventzon, and run a live demo on the spot. You set your own schedule around classes, own your own territory, and operate as a 1099 independent contractor — commission-only, no guaranteed pay.

Once a merchant is interested, you'll guide them through onboarding — setting up their account, configuring their reward program, and making sure their QR code is live and working before you leave.

Beyond the initial sale, you'll be the primary point of contact for your merchants — following up regularly, answering questions, and making sure they're getting real value out of the platform.

What You'll Do

• Walk into local businesses near your campus and introduce them to Ventzon face-to-face
• Run a live demo on the spot and sign owners up during the visit
• Set up new merchants — account, reward program, QR code live in-store
• Follow up with your merchants and stay their point of contact
• Own your territory and your schedule — fit Ventzon around classes
• Work directly with the founding team to sharpen the pitch and onboarding

Qualifications

• A current college student — freshman through senior, any major
• Comfortable walking into a business and starting a conversation
• A self-starter who manages their own territory without hand-holding
• Reliable transportation to visit local businesses in person
• A smartphone capable of running the Ventzon app for live demos
• 18 or older
• Prior customer-facing experience is a plus but not required

Compensation
This is a commission-based internship (1099) with uncapped earning potential. On-target earnings are around $1,000–$3,000/month, and top performers earn more — the more local businesses you bring onto Ventzon, the more you make.
