Cold Caller / Appointment Setter — Short B2B Calls to Local Businesses (Pilot, Hourly)

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

Description: I run a small AI startup. I need a clear, friendly cold-caller to make short B2B calls to local service businesses (junk-removal companies) from a list I provide. This is a paid pilot: ~50 calls to start, with more hours if it goes well. Your only goal on each call is to get the owner to agree to hear a 30-second demo, you are NOT closing a sale or explaining a complex product. Short calls, simple script, I provide everything. What you'll do: Call businesses from my list using a phone number/app I provide (OpenPhone, I'll add you as a user). Use my script: a 20-second pitch, then ask if I can text them a number to hear the demo. Handle basic objections politely, log the outcome of each call in a Google Sheet. Honor any "don't call me" request immediately. Calls are during US business hours (Eastern). You're a great fit if you: Speak clear, natural, confident English (US/Canada or strong-neutral accent). Have done cold calling / appointment setting / phone sales before. Are comfortable being told no and staying friendly. Can start this week. Pilot scope: ~50 dials (a few hours), hourly. If the numbers are good, ongoing work. Record yourself reading the 3 lines below and paste a link (Vocaroo or Loom). I want to hear your phone voice on my actual pitch: "Hi, is this the owner? Hey, my name's [your name], I'm calling on behalf of Simon, he used to run a junk-removal company here in Florida. Do you have 20 seconds? I built something I think could help you stop losing calls, can I text you a number to hear it? Takes 30 seconds."
