Summary

I run a small B2B data subscription business that provides new business filing leads to local service companies in Colorado. I need someone to make 20 short phone calls to a provided list of Colorado businesses (insurance agencies, accountants, sign companies, cleaning services, payroll providers) to introduce the service and ask if they'd like a free data sample. What I'll provide (to the person I hire): A list of 20 businesses with names and phone numbers A short script to read (about 30 seconds) Category-specific notes for each business type What I need from you: Call each business on the list once Read the provided script (feel free to adjust naturally, but keep the core message) The goal of each call is simple: ask if they'd like a free sample sent, and get their email or texting number if yes Track results in a simple shared spreadsheet (I'll provide a template): business name, outcome (interested/not interested/voicemail/no answer), and contact info if given Ideal freelancer: Native or fluent English speaker, comfortable on the phone with US small business owners Prior experience with cold calling, appointment setting, or lead qualification preferred Based in the US or familiar with US business culture/hours (Mountain Time, business hours) To apply: Please include a short audio or video clip (10-15 seconds) of yourself reading this sample line, just so I can hear your tone and clarity on a call: "Hi, this is [your name] calling on behalf of a small business — I wanted to introduce a service that might be useful for your company. Do you have a quick minute?" The actual script and call list will be shared directly with whoever I hire. Scope: This is a small, one-time project — 20 calls total, likely 1-2 hours of work including notes. If it goes well, there will be future opportunities for larger batches of calls.
