Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

I own a catering business that specializes in handmade Korean Kimbap. I am looking for someone to call my leads and schedule meetings for me. I am located in Minneapolis Minnesota so you will be calling during Central Time. Your role will involve reaching out to potential clients, introducing our services, in-putting data into a CRM, and arranging meetings to discuss their catering needs. I will provide leads, dialer, CRM (HubSpot), and software to help you in your role. You will be calling apartment buildings targeting property managers, community managers, and anyone who is charge of events for the building. I need reliable cold callers who can use scripts and hold real conversations. What You Will Do - Make 40-60+ outbound calls per shift using provided scripts as templates and contact lists - Introduce services, ask discovery questions, qualify interest, and handle objections naturally - Book follow-up appointments - Log every call outcome immediately in the CRM — no batching at end of shift - willingness to adapt and learn Target Types You Will Call - Apartment Buildings (Resident events) This is conversational outreach. You start relationships and qualify interest — you do not hard-sell or pressure anyone. Requirements - Clear spoken English that US professionals can understand easily on the phone - Previous cold calling, appointment setting, or outbound phone experience - Comfortable with high daily call volume while staying energetic and professional - Must overlap US business hours (9am-5pm Central) - Stable internet, quiet workspace, quality headset - Coachable — can follow scripts but also think on your feet when conversations go off-track Pay $3-5/hr depending on experience, plus 5% commission on closed deals. Looking to trial for a month and go from there. Start Date: Immediate — we are looking to onboard this week. To Apply 1. Send a video or voice recording: introduce yourself, then read the sample script below as if you are on a real call 2. Tell us your timezone and available hours 3. Briefly describe your cold calling experience — how many calls per day, what industries, what results Sample Script (read this naturally in your recording): "Good Morning Jay! My name is (your name), I work for a local vendor and was wondering if the property manager or person in charge of resident events is available?
