Part-Time Appointment Setter (Remote): K-12 Education

About the work: Teachers are managing classrooms with kids carrying adverse childhood experiences. Most schools want to respond well but simply do not have the training or the materials to do it. Respectful Ways builds those materials. We are a trauma-informed social-emotional learning program for PreK through 12th grade, and we are the only SEL program vetted and certified as trauma-informed by the Attachment and Trauma Network. Districts that use our curriculum have seen proven effective, real changes in student behavior and school climate. The obstacle is not whether schools need this. It is that many administrators may not remember us or have never heard of us. That is where this role comes in. Every call you make is a chance to put a resource in front of a school that may not remember us from last school year's conferences. What you'll do: You'll work from a prepared call list in our CRM and make outbound calls to school and district administrators. Your only goal is to book a short introductory call on our founder's calendar. You are not selling, quoting, or negotiating. You open the door and hand off the conversation. A typical week: 60 to 90 outbound calls spread across 4 to 5 days, aiming for 3 or more booked appointments. You'll log every call in our CRM and send a short Friday summary with calls attempted, calls booked, and who to try again next week. What we're looking for: Reliability above everything. Someone who blocks the same hours each week and actually makes the calls. A warm, clear phone presence. Comfortable with rejection, because most calls will not result in a booking. Willingness to log everything without being reminded. Reliable internet and a quiet place to call from. What you do not need: You do not need a background in education, sales experience, or knowledge of social-emotional learning. We provide the call list, the script, and a short briefing on what we do. Everything technical gets handled on the founder's call, not yours. Compensation: $500 per month base, paid as a 1099 contractor, plus 5% commission on the contract value of any deal that closes from a call you booked, plus a $100 monthly bonus when you hit the booking target. To put the commission in real terms: our district contracts commonly run in the five figures, so a single closed deal from one of your booked calls can pay more than a month of base. A strong month here looks like $600 in base and bonus with commission on top. Schedule: Flexible within business hours, US-based. Districts answer phones between roughly 8am and 4pm local time, so calls need to happen in that window. You choose the days, M-F but Tues., Wed., and Thursday are preferred. Who tends to do well here: People who care about kids and schools, and who get something out of knowing the call had a point. Former teachers, school staff, and parents who have watched a child struggle often take to this quickly, because they already understand why an administrator would want to hear about it. That said, none of that is required. Reliability and strong phone communication skills matter more than background. To apply: Send a short note telling us: (1) what hours you would block each week for calling, (2) any experience making outbound calls, and (3) one or two sentences on why this role interests you. A resume is welcomed but not required. A Bio is acceptable as well.
