Lead Generation & Appointment Setting Assistant

I’m looking for a part-time Lead Generation & Appointment Setting Assistant for Inscend. Inscend is an AI-powered decision intelligence platform that helps founder-led ecommerce brands turn Shopify, customer, sales, inventory, and operations data into clear actions instead of more dashboards. I need someone who can help me find qualified ecommerce brands, identify the founder or operator, prepare/send outreach, follow up, and help book qualified discovery calls. The focus is on founder-led Shopify/ecommerce brands in: * Beauty * Skincare * Haircare * Wellness * Personal care * CPG * Pet wellness * Apparel * Home goods Responsibilities: * Find qualified Shopify/ecommerce brands * Check if the company has an active website/store * Find founder/operator name and contact details * Find LinkedIn, Instagram, or email where possible * Add clean leads into a Google Sheet/CRM * Prepare or send personalized outreach messages * Track follow-ups * Help book qualified discovery calls * Send daily updates on progress Please do not apply if your approach is only scraping random emails. I care more about quality than volume. A qualified lead means: * Founder/operator of a real product brand * Uses Shopify or likely uses Shopify * Has an active ecommerce store * Has real products/customers * Fits beauty, wellness, personal care, CPG, pet, apparel, home goods, or a similar category This is not a full sales closing role. I need help with lead sourcing, outreach, follow-up, and appointment setting. I will attend the calls myself. To apply, please answer: 1. Have you done lead generation or appointment setting for ecommerce, Shopify, DTC, beauty, wellness, or CPG brands before? 2. Based on Inscend, who would you target and why? 3. Send one example of a brand you think would be a good fit for Inscend. Include company name, website, founder/contact if available, and why they fit. 4. Write a short first outreach message you would send to that founder. 5. What would you track daily in the CRM or Google Sheet? This will start as a small 2-week trial. Budget: $7–$10/hour 5 hours per week to start If the trial goes well, this can become ongoing. The main goal is not just more leads. The goal is qualified founder conversations.
