What you'll do Work through a provided list of roughly 120 local organizations, front loaded across the first two weeks Introduce the event briefly on behalf of the shopping center and gauge interest Make one follow up per contact if you don't reach them the first time (voicemail plus a short text) Log the outcome of every call in a Google Sheet using a set list of statuses we give you Flag interested contacts so our team can send them the full details by email You are not closing anything and you are not sending the materials yourself. Your job is to make contact, capture the outcome accurately, and route the warm ones to us. Shape of the work Roughly 60 first calls per week for the first two weeks, which clears the full list A final week weighted toward follow ups and texts from earlier contacts Steady, accurate logging throughout, because the sheet is how our team knows who to follow up with You're a great fit if you Speak clear, natural, professional English and sound warm on the phone Are comfortable with light cold outreach and don't get rattled by voicemail or a no Are organized and accurate with data entry Are based in the United States (calls are to US local businesses and it helps to sound local) Can work independently against a weekly call target with minimal supervision Details Tools: your own phone or a softphone, Google Sheets We provide the list, the call script, the status codes, and a short onboarding To apply, tell us in two or three sentences about any phone outreach or appointment setting work you've done, and confirm you're US based with a quiet space to make calls.
