We want someone who genuinely enjoys being on the phone and doesn't get discouraged by rejection. You should be able to think on your feet, carry a natural conversation, and know when to move past an objection and ask for the appointment. We're especially interested in someone who takes ownership of their performance, pays attention to what's working, and wants to continually improve their appointment-setting results. Most importantly, we're looking for someone interested in becoming a long-term member of our team, not simply completing a short-term calling project. To Apply Please include: A brief summary of your cold calling and appointment-setting experience The industries you've previously called for Approximately how many outbound calls you've handled per day Your average number of appointments booked per day or week, if available The CRMs and dialing systems you've previously used Why you believe you'd be a great fit for this position If you're confident on the phone, know how to get past the initial “not interested,” and can consistently turn cold calls into booked appointments, we'd love to hear from you.
