Cold Caller - Business Owner Acquisition Outreach

We are a done-for-you deal origination firm that helps private equity firms, family offices, search funds, independent sponsors, investment banks, and M&A advisors find acquisition targets in the lower middle market ($1M–$50M enterprise value). We're hiring a cold caller to reach out directly to business owners on behalf of our clients, gauge their interest in selling their company, and book qualified appointments. This is not a high-volume dial farm. You'll be working specific, curated lists of owners in specific sectors, so every call matters more than the last. What You'll Actually Be Doing Calling business owners from verified, pre-qualified lists (no cold prospecting from scratch, the list and numbers are provided) Getting past gatekeepers to reach the actual owner or decision-maker Delivering a tight, credible pitch: is the owner open to exploring a sale of their business If there's interest, securing their contact details and locking in a second appointment, this is the meeting our client will actually take Logging everything and managing your pipeline inside GoHighLevel (GHL) CRM, including the built-in dialer Booking confirmed appointments directly into client calendars Following up proactively with owners who weren't ready on the first call, persistence and re-engagement matter as much as the first dial Splitting your time across multiple client engagements simultaneously, adjusting your pitch and approach by sector/niche as needed Each client typically requires 2–3 hours of dedicated calling time; on a given day you may be working across 2–3 different client engagements depending on volume Engagements are structured as a set number of hours per month allocated per client Compensation: base rate for hours worked + bonus for each qualified, booked appointment We'll work together on scripts and messaging best practices per client/niche, this isn't a "figure it out alone" role, but you need to already know how to run a call What We Need From You Proven cold calling experience, not general customer service, actual outbound cold calling Experience speaking directly with business owners / decision-makers, ideally in a B2B or sales context Hands-on experience with GoHighLevel CRM and its dialer (or very similar CRM/dialer stacks) Comfort using calendar tools to book appointments on behalf of a client A proactive, self-driven follow-up mentality, you don't let a "not now" become a dead lead Fluent, clear, professional English, most of the owners you'll be calling are English-speaking, and this is non-negotiable How to Apply To apply, submit a short recording of a real cold call you've made. If you don't have one, submit a role-play recording instead so we can hear how you sound and handle a live conversation. To confirm you're a real applicant and not an automated submission, please type the word "banana" at the very start of your application.
