Summary

Cold caller who knows the agency world, marketing sales background required. Quick version: we built a tool that finds local businesses already wasting money on ads, and hands marketing agencies those businesses as ready to use leads. We need someone who's sold marketing before to call agencies and offer them free sample leads. Not a hard pitch. More like handing someone a gift and seeing if they want it. Who we are: small team, we built a lead gen tool for marketing agencies. It finds local service businesses (med spas, HVAC, dental) that are actively running Google and Meta ads but have broken websites, audits exactly what's wrong, and turns each one into a lead with the problem documented and an outreach hook already written. The pitch to agencies is simple: here are real, audited leads in your niche, free to start. The offer is genuinely good, which is why we think the calls will land. What we actually need from you: someone who has sold marketing services before. Worked at an agency, freelanced doing outreach, sold to local businesses, whatever the path. The point is you've lived in this world, so you get who we're calling and what makes them say yes. This is not a read the script and dial job. We have a draft, but we want your brain on it. You'll catch stuff we can't, like why a call went sideways or what objection we keep fumbling. We're on the call sessions with you, live, listening in so we hear what's working and adjust with you in real time. Think of this phase as figuring out the right approach together, not just running numbers. How the call works: you're not closing anyone on the phone. You're offering agencies free audited leads in their market and seeing if they bite. A good call is an agency that does this kind of work, wants the sample leads, and agrees to tell us what happened when they reached out. We sell the actual product later, after the leads have already proven themselves. So your job is to give value and earn a little interest, not to push. This is discovery, so we care about the learning, not hitting a big dial count. We'll work through a solid batch of calls in sessions, and what we want out of it is a tested script, the objections that keep coming up, and a real feel for what converts. The bigger volume comes later. What we provide: the lead list, the audited sample leads to offer, and the draft script. What we need back: the calls made with a quick note on each (did they connect, were they a fit, did they take the leads, did they agree to report back), and your honest take in the debriefs, what you're hearing and what you'd change. After this: if it's working we run a bigger paid phase with real volume and a per meeting bonus on top. If it's not the right fit we wrap cleanly. No long commitment either way. You're probably right for this if: A. You've sold marketing services and can prove it B. Your English is native or close, and you sound comfortable and calm on the phone, not rushed or salesy C. You actually have opinions and share them, we want a collaborator, not a robot To apply, tell us: 1. Your background selling marketing or agency services, be specific 2. A cold call you're proud of and why it worked 3. Your hourly rate, and how you'd structure this phase (sessions, rough hours, how you'd run it) 4. If you were offering an agency three free audited leads in their city, how would you open the call?
