About RavGB

RavGB is a young Calgary studio. We build websites, promotional videos, and custom tools for small businesses, and we provide DevOps services for small software companies. Our work is already live for real clients: Kidz In The Park (kidzinthepark.ca), Glo Light Med Spa (glolightmedspa.com), and CelestKin (celestkin.app). We have more opportunity than one person can chase. What we do not have yet is someone on the ground in Calgary. That is this job. You will work directly with the CEO.

The role, in one line

Be the face of RavGB in Calgary. You visit local businesses in person, start honest conversations, learn what they need, and book meetings with the CEO. We handle the quotes, the contracts, and the work itself. You will work from prospect lists we provide, plus the people and places you already know. This is not a call centre job and it is not phone only. It is face to face, local, and relationship based.

What you will do

• Visit 15 to 20 Calgary businesses per week in person
• Attend local business and networking events when they are worth it
• Start conversations with owners and book follow-up meetings
• Log every visit the same day in a simple shared sheet
• Send a short weekly summary of visits, conversations, and next steps
• Follow up with businesses you have already met, on the day you promised

Skills you will use every week

• Starting friendly conversations with business owners
• Listening for what a business actually needs
• Explaining websites and online services in plain language
• Planning your visits and routes across Calgary
• Following up on time, every time
• Keeping clear notes on every visit

Must have

• Previous experience in sales, business development, or a client facing role where you dealt with customers or business owners directly. Banking, real estate, insurance, or running your own business all count. We will ask for references, and we do check them
• Fluent English, spoken and written. You will be the voice of RavGB in first conversations
• Real connections in Calgary's business community, or a background where you built them
• Comfort walking into a business and starting a friendly two minute conversation
• A reliable follow-up habit. Most of our clients will say yes on the third or fourth touch, not the first
• Your own vehicle and a valid driver's licence, since the work is across Calgary
• Comfort with a smartphone, email, WhatsApp, and shared spreadsheets
• A plain level understanding of what a website and a Google listing do for a small business. We will teach you the rest

Assets (nice to have, not required)

• Knowledge of websites and tech: how websites, domains, online booking, SEO, or Google Business Profiles help a business get customers
• Experience using a CRM or tracking leads in a system
• Fluency in a second language spoken in Calgary's business community
• An existing network among Calgary daycares, clinics, restaurants, trades, or professional offices

Pay and terms, in real numbers

• $1,500 per month base, paid monthly. That is 10 to 15 hours a week, about $23 to $35 an hour.
• Commission of 10% to 15% on revenue we actually collect from clients you bring in, paid after the client pays. Example: bring in a $4,500 project that gets paid, and you earn $450 to $675 on top of your base that month. A website project of $1,500 earns you $150 to $225.
• On clients who stay on a monthly service, you keep earning 5% commission on what we collect from them, for the first 6 months. A $2,999 a month retainer client earns you about $150 a month for 6 months.
• 90 day trial to start, with clear weekly activity targets. If this works, the role grows with the business: more hours, a bigger base, and first call on the next hire.
• Hours flex around your week. Most visits happen during business hours, and we plan the week together.
• You represent RavGB with our approved materials and prices only. You never handle payments and never sign anything. Money and contracts stay with the owner.

We are hiring one person for this role. When the right person is in, this posting comes down.
