Summary

JG Legacy Cigars is seeking a motivated, dependable freelancer to support our growing premium cigar brand through outbound sales calls, appointment setting, CRM management, and, depending on your location and experience, factory and supplier sourcing. The primary assignment will involve contacting cigar lounges, tobacconists, retailers, and other potential business partners throughout the Miami, Florida area. You should be confident speaking with business owners and decision-makers, introducing our company professionally, gathering accurate information, and scheduling qualified follow-up meetings. Fluency in both English and Spanish is preferred, especially for outreach within the Miami market. However, if I am contacting you in Jamaica, I understand that you may not speak Spanish. You are still encouraged to apply if you speak English clearly, communicate professionally, and have strong phone, customer-service, telemarketing, or appointment-setting skills. For candidates in Jamaica, I would like to hear your voice and may also request a brief Zoom meeting so we can introduce ourselves and discuss the opportunity. Every candidate, regardless of location, is expected to submit a short voice-reply message as part of the application process. Primary Responsibilities Make outbound calls to cigar lounges, tobacconists, retailers, and related businesses Introduce JG Legacy Cigars and explain our products and business opportunities Speak professionally with owners, managers, buyers, and other decision-makers Identify qualified prospects and gather accurate contact information Schedule meetings, follow-up calls, product presentations, and sales appointments Enter complete call notes, prospect information, and follow-up activity into our CRM Follow up consistently with interested businesses Provide regular updates regarding calls, appointments, responses, and potential opportunities Represent JG Legacy Cigars professionally during every interaction Additional Opportunity for Candidates in the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua If you are located in the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua, I would also like to know whether you can help source reputable cigar factories, box manufacturers, cigar-band suppliers, packaging companies, accessory manufacturers, and other dependable industry vendors. This could be a major opportunity for the right person. I am looking for someone who may already have relationships within the cigar industry or who is capable of researching, identifying, and introducing me to trustworthy factories and suppliers. Your role could include making introductions, arranging calls, communicating with factory owners, gathering pricing, confirming minimum order quantities, and helping coordinate future factory visits. JG Legacy Cigars is still growing, so I plan to begin with small orders. The purpose of starting small is to build trust, evaluate quality, confirm communication, and establish reliable working relationships before committing to larger production orders. I want to be transparent that I am not beginning with extremely large quantities. I am looking for factories and suppliers that are willing to work with a developing brand, produce quality products, communicate honestly, and grow with us over time. If the initial orders, product quality, communication, and business relationship go well, my intention is to travel to the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua to visit the factories personally, meet the owners and production teams, review the operation, and discuss a long-term partnership. For the right freelancer, this could grow into an ongoing role involving: Factory sourcing Supplier communication Production follow-up Quality-control coordination Sample reviews Packaging and accessory sourcing Translation Local representation Scheduling factory visits Helping expand JG Legacy Cigars throughout the region I am not simply looking for the largest or most famous factory. I am looking for honest, reliable, quality-focused partners who understand that trust must be earned through consistent performance. Ideal Candidate The right candidate should have: Strong spoken English Spanish fluency for bilingual assignments Professional phone etiquette Clear and confident communication Experience in telemarketing, appointment setting, customer service, lead generation, sales, or sourcing Strong organizational and follow-up skills Comfort using a CRM or learning a new CRM system Reliable internet and phone access Availability during appropriate United States business hours Self-motivation, dependability, and attention to detail Experience in the cigar, tobacco, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, or sourcing industries is helpful but not required. Important Note for Candidates in Jamaica If I am reaching out to you in Jamaica, I understand that you may speak English but not Spanish. Spanish is not required for every part of this opportunity. I am still interested in candidates who have: A professional and understandable speaking voice Strong English communication skills Appointment-setting or outbound-calling experience The confidence to speak with business owners and managers Good organization and follow-up habits A positive, reliable, and professional attitude Please send a voice-reply message so I can hear how you communicate. After reviewing your experience and voice introduction, I may invite you to a brief Zoom meeting. Required Voice Reply All candidates must submit a short voice message when applying. In your voice recording, please introduce yourself and briefly explain: Your name Your current location The languages you speak Your previous calling, sales, customer-service, appointment-setting, or sourcing experience Why you believe you would be a good fit for JG Legacy Cigars Your availability to work during United States business hours The voice message does not need to be long. It should simply allow me to hear your communication style, professionalism, confidence, and clarity. To Apply Please send the following: Your full name Your current country and city The languages you speak Relevant work experience Your availability Your hourly rate or preferred compensation The type of phone and internet access you have A short voice-reply message introducing yourself Your availability for a possible Zoom interview If you are located in the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua, please also tell me: Whether you can source cigar factories and suppliers Whether you already have contacts in the cigar industry Whether you have experience working with factories or manufacturers What types of vendors you may be able to locate Whether you can help arrange introductions, factory calls, pricing discussions, sample orders, or future in-person visits This opportunity may begin as a small freelance assignment, but it has the potential to develop into a long-term position as JG Legacy Cigars continues to grow. For candidates in the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua, the sourcing side of this role could become a significant opportunity to build a lasting business relationship with our brand.
