About Qynko

Qynko is an early-stage platform helping experts — consultants, coaches, and creators — build, manage, and monetize their services online. We are in our 0-to-1 growth phase and are looking for a high-energy, process-driven BD professional to drive expert acquisition and subscription growth.

• Giving product demos to prospects — independently, without hand-holding
• Following up consistently and systematically — no lead should fall through the cracks
