Appointment Setter / VA — Cold Calling Contractors (Warm List + Full Training)
Worldwide
We are a Canadian marketing agency that builds websites and lead-generation systems for contractors: painters, renovators, roofers, epoxy installers. We need an appointment setter to book discovery calls onto our calendar. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM MOST COLD-CALLING JOBS: You are NOT starting from a cold list scraped off the internet. We hand you a list of 600+ business owners who have ALREADY replied to us at least once. They know who we are. Your job is to re-open the conversation and book a 30-minute call, not to convince a stranger from zero. WHAT YOU WILL DO: - Call and follow up with business owners from our existing list (Ontario, Canada) - Follow our script and qualification checklist (we provide both) - Book qualified prospects directly onto our calendar - Log every call outcome in our CRM (GoHighLevel, we train you) - Send follow-up texts and emails from templates we provide - Report your numbers daily: dials, conversations, booked, showed WHAT WE PROVIDE: - The list (600+ warm contacts, already engaged) - Full paid training: scripts, objection handling, our offer, recorded call reviews - Dialer, CRM access, calendar, and email/SMS templates - Direct access to the founder for coaching, not a middle manager WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: - Clear, confident, neutral English on the phone. This is the #1 requirement. - Previous cold calling or appointment setting experience (B2B preferred) - Comfortable being told no and calling the next number without losing energy - Available during Eastern Time business hours (9am-5pm ET), Monday to Friday - Reliable internet, a quiet space, and a headset - Someone who wants a long-term seat, not a two-week gig PAY: - Hourly base, PLUS a $25 bonus for every qualified appointment that SHOWS UP - Additional $150 bonus when a booked prospect becomes a client - Top performers get a raise at 30 days and more hours - We pay for showed calls, not just bookings. Quality over quantity, always. HOURS: Start at 20 hrs/week, moving to full-time for the right person. TO APPLY: Start your proposal with the word "DIAL" so I know you read this. Then tell me: 1. A link to a 60-second voice recording of you reading this line and then improvising for 30 seconds: "Hi, is this the owner? My name is ___, I am calling from Sparked. We build lead-generation websites for contractors in Ontario. Did I catch you at an okay time?" 2. Your last cold-calling role: what were you selling, how many dials a day, how many appointments booked per week? 3. A prospect says "I am not interested" in the first five seconds. Write out, word for word, exactly what you say next. 4. What hours can you work in Eastern Time (Toronto), and how many hours per week? Applications that skip the voice recording will not be reviewed. Clear phone English is the single biggest factor in this role.
