B2B Cold Caller & Appointment Setter — Apollo Experience Required

We’re a growing B2B software company hiring one part-time SDR/BDR to make outbound cold calls, qualify prospects, and book demos for our founders. We need someone energetic, resourceful, and persistent who takes initiative. You should be professional and conversational on the phone, comfortable navigating gatekeepers, and dependable with follow-up. Company and target-market details will be shared during interviews. What you’ll do - Reach decision-makers, build rapport, identify needs, and handle objections. - Book qualified demos with relevant prospects who understand the meeting’s purpose. - Own callbacks and follow-up without daily reminders. - Build and refine Apollo lists around our ideal customer profile. - Maintain accurate notes, tasks, and prospect status. - Recommend improvements that make prospecting more efficient and effective. Cold calling is the initial priority. Email and LinkedIn outreach will follow. Our founders conduct demos and close sales; you own prospecting, qualification, and appointment setting. What you’ll bring - Proven B2B cold-calling and appointment-setting experience. - Very fluent English, clear speech, strong listening skills, and an engaging phone presence. - Practical Apollo proficiency: searches, filters, lists, sequences, and follow-up management. - Strong organization and the ability to work independently. Healthcare, medical, or pharmaceutical experience is a major plus. Experience using AI to research prospects, refine targeting, personalize outreach, and reduce manual work is also welcome. U.S.-based candidates are preferred, but qualified candidates elsewhere are encouraged to apply. Schedule and engagement - Approximately 30–40 hours per month initially. - Agreed work blocks within 8 a.m.–5 p.m. U.S. Central Time, Monday–Friday. Full-window or daily availability is not required. - Initial paid pilot, with potential for a long-term working relationship. Please propose your competitive hourly rate for this scope. We’ll evaluate demonstrated ability, relevant experience, and overall value.
