About COSReady
Our web platform is already live and being used by businesses and consumers, and we are preparing for the next stage of growth, including our mobile app launch.
COSReady works with hair salons, nail and lash studios, barbershops, spas, med spas, massage and wellness providers, pet groomers, independent beauty professionals, and other service-based businesses.
We are expanding our merchant network across the Greater Toronto Area and are looking for an independent contractor to support a focused field outreach mission with local business owners.
About the Mission
This is a short-term, mission-based field outreach assignment focused on introducing COSReady to eligible local businesses and generating qualified merchant registrations.
You will visit businesses in assigned Toronto and GTA neighbourhoods, introduce COSReady to owners and managers, explain how the platform works, identify businesses that are a good fit, and help interested merchants get started.
This is not a desk-based marketing assignment and is not simply flyer distribution. You should be comfortable walking into businesses that have not previously spoken with COSReady, starting conversations professionally, answering questions, handling initial hesitation, and following up with interested merchants.
The mission is focused on building awareness, creating qualified merchant interest, and supporting initial merchant onboarding.
Mission Responsibilities
- Visit salons, spas, med spas, nail and lash studios, barbershops, wellness providers, pet groomers and other eligible local businesses in assigned neighbourhoods.
- Introduce COSReady and clearly explain the platform, merchant profile, Beauty Map, booking and business-growth features.
- Speak directly with business owners, managers and decision-makers.
- Identify businesses that are suitable for the COSReady platform and encourage qualified merchants to register.
- Assist interested merchants with initial registration and explain the steps required to complete their business profile.
- Follow up with merchants who expressed interest but have not yet completed registration or profile setup.
- Maintain accurate records of businesses visited, conversations, follow-ups, registrations and merchant feedback.
- Provide regular field updates on outreach activity, conversion results, merchant objections and recurring market feedback.
- Build and maintain professional relationships with participating merchants.
- Represent COSReady professionally while working independently in different neighbourhoods.
- Share recurring merchant needs, concerns and competitive feedback with the COSReady team.
What We Are Looking For
- Comfortable approaching new businesses and starting conversations without a prior appointment.
- Strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
- Confident speaking with business owners and managers.
- Reliable, organized and able to work independently in the field.
- Persistent with follow-up without being overly aggressive or transactional.
- Comfortable working toward measurable outreach, registration and conversion goals.
- Able to learn a technology product quickly and explain it in clear, simple language.
- Comfortable using a mobile phone and basic digital tools to track outreach activity and merchant information.
- Able to travel independently between assigned businesses and neighbourhoods throughout Toronto and the GTA.
- Professional appearance and communication when representing the company.
Previous experience in field sales, merchant acquisition, business development, community outreach, hospitality, beauty and wellness, retail sales or local business marketing is an asset, but not required if you demonstrate strong communication skills and initiative.
Experience working in an early-stage startup or other fast-changing environment is also an asset.
Additional language skills, including Mandarin or Cantonese, are considered an asset but are not required.
Independent Contractor Arrangement
This is a mission-based independent contractor opportunity, not an employee position.
The contractor will be responsible for organizing their own field schedule and completing the assigned outreach objectives within the agreed mission period.
The contractor will use their own phone and arrange their own transportation between assigned businesses unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The contractor is responsible for determining their own tax, insurance and other obligations associated with independent contractor status.
The contractor will receive the agreed compensation for completed mission activities and eligible results. No hourly wage, employee benefits or guaranteed ongoing work is provided.
Mission Performance
Performance will be evaluated based on a combination of:
- Quality and consistency of merchant outreach
- Meaningful conversations with business decision-makers
- Qualified merchant registrations
- Completed merchant profiles and onboarding progress
- Follow-up effectiveness
- Accuracy of outreach records
- Merchant feedback and relationship quality
We care about qualified conversations, registrations and results, not simply the number of businesses visited.
Compensation
Compensation will be agreed upon before the mission begins.
The compensation structure may include a fixed mission fee, performance-based payments, or a combination of both, depending on the agreed scope and deliverables.
Any registration or onboarding-based incentive will be clearly explained before the contractor accepts the assignment.
Local travel and expense arrangements will also be discussed and agreed upon before the mission begins.
Why Join This Mission
You will be supporting COSReady during an active market-expansion stage as the company grows its merchant network across Toronto and the GTA.
This mission provides direct experience in local business acquisition, startup growth, product-market feedback and merchant onboarding for a consumer technology platform.
Successful completion of the mission may lead to consideration for future contractor assignments involving merchant outreach, partnerships, business development or growth.
