Business Development Associate (Work-from-Home)

Trident Digital | SingaporeFull-time | Remote (Work from Home) | Performance-based

Salary: SGD 300 base + performance bonus (total est. SGD 500–1,000 with commissions)

About the role

Trident Digital is one of the fastest growing marketing agencies for financial advisors and real estate leaders in Singapore. Every client we work with started as a conversation someone had to start, and a follow-up someone didn't drop. This role owns both.

This is a sales role, not an admin role. You'll reach out to new prospects every day, chase the leads that come in until they book a call with us, and make sure nobody who enquires is left waiting. Your pay scales with your effort and speed: more outreach, faster follow-ups and quicker replies mean you earn more.

If you're fast, reliable, and not afraid to me.

What the setup looks like

You'll work closely with our BD lead and the founder, so you'll see up close how deals move from first message to signed client. Prospects are financial advisors and real estate leaders in Singapore. You own your outreach and follow-up approach: test what works, drop what doesn't, and keep sharpening it.

What you’ll handle

• Daily outreach. Build lead lists and reach out to prospects every day with personalised messages that give them a real reason to reply
• Lead follow-up. Follow up on leads from our lead sources until they respond and book a call with us
• WhatsApp replies and reminders. Reply to enquiries quickly, send call reminders, and handle reschedules and no-shows
• Tracking. Keep the CRM and tracking sheet up to date, so every prospect, reply and booking is logged

How this role works

• Outreach happens every day, with no misses. Consistency is the job
• Leads don't keep office hours. Enquiries and bookings come in on evenings and weekends too, and you need to be responsive whenever they do. A lead that waits goes cold
• Your pay follows your output. Commissions are tied to results, and you'll see your numbers every week

How you’ll be measured

Outreach sent, follow-ups completed, response speed on enquiries, and calls booked (and shown up to) for the BD lead.

You’ll do well here if you

• Are responsive and on the ball. When a lead messages, you reply. No gaps
• Are motivated by earning more through effort, not by clocking in hours
• Figure out what works instead of waiting to be told. If a message isn't getting replies, you change it
• Are well-spoken and articulate, in writing and out loud. You'd like to grow into handling calls yourself
• Write like a human. Your messages read like a real person, not a template blast
• Sweat the small stuff: names spelled right, reminders sent on time, tracker always current
• Don't take silence personally. Most people won't reply. The ones who do are why the job exists

This is not for you if you

• Want fixed hours where your phone goes off at 6pm and on weekends
• Prefer a steady salary over pay that grows with your effort
• Get discouraged after a week of no's. Resilience isn't optional here, it's the job
• Have freelance work or side hustles competing for your focus. This has to be your main thing

No hard feelings either way. We'd rather both sides know now.

Bonus points

• Sales, BD, outreach or lead generation experience, even informally
• Comfortable with WhatsApp, Google Sheets and CRM tools
• You've handled high message volume without letting quality slip

Fresh grads are welcome to apply. We care more about reliability and hunger than years of experience.

What you get

• Direct exposure to the founder and BD lead. You learn how deals are won, not just how messages are sent
• Commissions that grow with your results, so your ceiling is set by your effort
• A clear path into handling calls and moving into full sales and BD roles as the agency scales
• A team that invests in growth: internal masterminds, sponsored courses and overseas team trips
