Cold calling is where I've built my entire career โ€” over 14,000 hours on Upwork and 10+ years of daily outbound calls into the US market. For 7+ years at PreScouter Inc., I ran high-volume B2B prospecting and appointment setting, speaking directly with decision-makers across industries. At Careerist Inc. I managed outbound sales campaigns and consistently hit 200%+ of monthly targets, earning Employee of the Month three times. What I bring to every campaign: strong opener, clean objection handling, real-time CRM logging (Zoho, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce), and the discipline to make volume calls without burning quality. My English is fluent and professional โ€” built entirely on calling into the US market. I specialize in B2B cold calling, appointment setting, lead generation, and telemarketing for industries including real estate, roofing, solar, staffing, and SaaS. Available 30+ hours/week, Sydney-compatible hours on request.

With 3 years in Sales and over 4 years managing guest and customer experiences, I bring a strong track record of driving revenue and exceeding client expectations. At Accor (a leading French hotel group), I quickly advanced from Sales Executive to Sales Manager within two years โ€” the fastest progression in my team. My responsibilities included lead generation, market research, competitor analysis, account management, and deal closures with Fortune 500 clients. I was recognized with the โ€œStand Out Performerโ€ Award (2024) for consistently surpassing targets and contributing to overall business growth. My approach combines data-driven strategy with relationship-focused selling โ€” understanding each clientโ€™s needs to deliver personalized proposals and successful sales outcomes. Fluent in French and English, I was born and raised in Morocco, educated in an American school, and have worked in both France and India, giving me a strong multicultural understanding and communication edge. If youโ€™re looking for someone proactive, detail-oriented, and driven to deliver measurable results while building lasting client relationships โ€” Iโ€™d be happy to help you achieve your goals.
