Cold Caller Needed for Merchant Services / Payment Processing Sales (B2B, Commission-Friendly)
Worldwide
DESCRIPTION We're hiring an experienced B2B cold caller for a payment processing / merchant services company. You'll be calling small business owners (auto shops, medical offices, and other SMBs) to introduce our payment processing services and book qualified appointments for our sales team. This is not a script-and-hope job — we need someone who can handle gatekeepers, build quick rapport, and get business owners comfortable sharing sensitive info (their current processing statement) before we ever get on a call with them. What you'll do: - Make outbound cold calls to a provided list of small business leads - Follow a call script and objection-handling framework (provided, and we welcome your input to improve it) - Book qualified appointments directly on our calendar - Collect the prospect's valid email, direct phone number, and current merchant processing statement ahead of the meeting - Log call outcomes and lead status in our tracker daily The hard part of this job — read carefully before applying: Most business owners won't hand a stranger their processing statement on a cold call. Getting that document is the real skill here, not just booking a calendar slot. If you're strong at building trust quickly and can get past "just send me some info," you'll do well and earn well. If you're only comfortable reading a script and taking whatever answer you get, this isn't the right fit. Who we're looking for: - Proven experience cold calling for a US-based B2B service (payments/merchant services experience is a strong plus, but not required) - Fluent, clear English with a neutral/professional phone accent Comfortable handling rejection and gatekeepers without losing energy across a full shift - Self-directed — can work a set schedule with minimal oversight once trained - Familiar with basic CRM/dialer tools, or a fast learner Schedule: Starting as a part-time trial (approximately 15-20 hours/week), with opportunity to scale to more hours based on performance. Must have overlap with US Mountain Time for live calling hours. Compensation: $8/hour base + $10 per confirmed appointment (calendar-confirmed date/time, valid email, and direct phone number for the decision-maker) + $10 for collecting a current merchant processing statement. Additional bonuses available for closed deals, discussed directly with top performers. To apply, please include: Your cold calling experience, especially in financial services, payments, or SaaS Your available hours in Mountain Time A 60-second voice or video intro so we can hear how you sound on the phone
