Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

About the Role Are you an energetic, persistent communicator who thrives on the phones and loves turning cold or warm prospects into booked calendar meetings? We are looking for an Exceptional Appointment Setter to join our growth team. In this role, you won't just be dialing—you’ll be the critical first impression for our brand. You will own top-of-funnel conversion by responding rapidly to leads, identifying core pain points, qualifying prospective clients, and securing show-up-ready appointments on our Technician calendars. Who You Are (What Makes an Exceptional Setter) You aren't just looking for "a phone job"—you treat appointment setting as a craft. Based on our team standards, the person who succeeds in this position possesses the following characteristics: Lightning-Fast Responsiveness: You understand that "speed to lead" is everything. When a new lead hits the system, your instinct is to reach out immediately (within 5 minutes) while interest is at its peak. Relentless Persistence: You don't give up after one or two unanswered calls. You execute structured 6–8 touch outreach cadences (calls, texts, emails) across 10–14 days without losing momentum. Unshakeable Active Listening & Empathy: You don't just read a script line-by-line; you listen for unspoken pain points, ask sharp discovery questions, and build natural rapport quickly. Quality & Integrity Focused: You care about booking the right appointments, not just any appointment. You pre-qualify strictly to protect the team’s time, resulting in high show rates and low cancellation rates. Rejection-Resilient & Coachable: Objection handling doesn't intimidate you—it energizes you. You actively seek feedback on call recordings and maintain high energy throughout your shift. Key Responsibilities & Core KPIs Your success in this role is directly tied to clear, achievable performance metrics: Speed to Lead: Maintain an average response time of under 5 minutes for inbound inquiries. High-Volume Cadence: Execute a minimum of 8 outreach attempts per lead across multiple channels. High Show & Quality Rates: Set appointments that result in a 75%+ Show/Held Rate and a Cancel Rate under 12% by thoroughly qualifying prospects. Call QA Compliance: Consistently hit an 85%+ Quality Score on weekly call reviews (evaluating pitch clarity, pain identification, objection handling, and calendar locking). Conversion Rate: Achieve standard conversion targets of 5%–15% on inbound leads (or 1%–3% on outbound queues). Qualifications & Requirements 1+ years of experience in phone sales, appointment setting, SDR/BDR roles, or high-volume customer facing outreach. Demonstrated track record of hitting activity and booking quotas. Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable with multi-channel outreach (Phone, SMS, Email). Proficiency with modern CRMs (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel) and VoIP dialers. Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where compensation directly reflects performance. What We Offer Competitive Base Salary + Uncapped Commission: Pay structure aligned with showed/qualified appointments so high performers earn significantly more. Comprehensive Training: Complete script training, objection-handling frameworks, and continuous 1-on-1 coaching. Career Growth: Clear promotion pathway based on performance metrics. Flexible Working Environment: Remote.
