Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a confident B2B cold caller / appointment setter to help book discovery calls with local service business owners in the United States. This is appointment setting only. You are NOT responsible for closing sales. I provide everything you need: • Researched and prioritized prospect list • Business phone numbers and relevant prospect information • Detailed call script with objection-handling branches • Simple call-tracking spreadsheet • Booking link that places qualified appointments directly onto my calendar • Clear qualification and disqualification guidelines • Training on the offer before you begin YOUR JOB Call businesses from the provided list, reach the owner or decision maker, have a short conversation, identify whether there may be a fit, and book qualified prospects for a 15–20 minute discovery call with me. We help local businesses capture opportunities they may already be losing when phone calls go unanswered or website visitors leave without contacting anyone. You are NOT expected to give a full presentation, close the sale, provide technical explanations, or find your own leads. WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR • Strong spoken English and a clear, natural phone presence • Comfortable making outbound cold calls to U.S. businesses • Experience handling gatekeepers and basic objections • Able to follow a structured process without sounding like you are reading a script • Reliable during U.S. Pacific Time business hours • Comfortable with rejection and consistent call volume • Accurate with tracking call outcomes and notes • B2B cold-calling or appointment-setting experience strongly preferred I care much more about how you actually sound on the phone than how impressive your résumé is. PLEASE INCLUDE WITH YOUR PROPOSAL 1. A brief description of your B2B cold-calling / appointment-setting experience 2. Industries you have called previously 3. Your location and time zone 4. Your availability during U.S. Pacific Time business hours 5. Your hourly rate 6. A 30–60 second voice recording or video introduction so I can hear your natural speaking voice 7. Any recent performance numbers you have, such as daily dials, conversations, appointments booked, or show rates COMPENSATION Hourly budget: $8–$12/hour depending on experience and phone presence. This position will begin with a short paid trial. Strong performance can lead to consistent ongoing work and additional performance-based compensation. Start: ASAP In the first line of your proposal, write: “I’m comfortable cold calling US businesses.” That lets me know you actually read the post.
