Experienced B2B Telemarketer – Hospitality Lead Generation

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for an experienced, results-driven B2B telemarketer to contact Operations Managers, General Managers and other decision-makers within the hospitality industry. We are not looking for someone based in the USA, and simply not wanting to fill in time. We want someone who enjoys cold calling, wants to achieve results, is curious, asks good questions and knows how to turn a cold call into a genuine business conversation. This is not a hard-sell role. Your job is to speak with Operations and General Managers, understand how they currently manage their kitchen exhaust systems, and uncover businesses experiencing problems with grease build-up, frequent duct cleaning, filter maintenance or high cleaning costs. Simply to find people with problems, and people who want to know more. You are someone who is not afraid to ask questions. If someone says, "We're fine," we don't want the conversation to automatically end there. A good caller will naturally ask a few more questions: The objective is to find the problem, create interest and start the conversation - our Sales Manager can take it from there. What you'll be doing • Cold calling Operations Managers, General Managers and other relevant decision-makers • Having professional, natural conversations - not just reading a script • Asking questions and uncovering kitchen exhaust grease and maintenance problems • Creating interest in our solution • Sending follow-up information using our existing templates using our CRM • Recording useful information from each conversation • Generating genuine leads and opportunities for our Sales Manager to follow up We provide the product training, messaging, product information, email templates and support you need. Who we're looking for You must have: • Strong B2B cold calling or telemarketing experience in the hospitality industry • A polite, confident and professional phone manner • A results-driven attitude • Strong questioning and listening skills • Confidence speaking with Operations Managers and General Managers • The ability to think during a conversation rather than simply follow a script • Persistence without being pushy • Reliable follow-up and lead recording Experience / knowledge of hospitality, restaurants, hotels, clubs, commercial kitchens, facilities management, kitchen exhaust cleaning or maintenance. Overview or knowledge of commercial kitchen grease filters, exhaust systems or duct cleaning maintenance would be particularly valuable. Hours & Opportunity Initially 5-10 hours per week, with the opportunity to increase hours significantly based on performance and the quality of leads generated. We are looking for someone we can work with long term who takes ownership of their results. To Express Interest Please don't send us a generic application. Instead, tell us: 1. Why does this particular role appeal to you? 2. Give us some recent examples of how you have generated leads or genuine interest through cold calling. 3. Who were you calling and what were you selling or promoting? 4. What did you personally do or say that helped turn those cold calls into opportunities? 5. What are you after in your next role? 6. Are you currently working for others and how much US TimeZone does that work take between Tuesdays to Thursdays? We're much more interested in what you've actually achieved on the phone than a long list of previous jobs. If you genuinely enjoy cold calling, asking questions, finding problems and creating opportunities, we'd like to hear from you.
