What experience do you have prospecting or selling MSP, cybersecurity, IT, SaaS, telecom, or similar B2B services? 2. What results/KPIs did you achieve in your most recent outbound role? 3. Give us the first 30 seconds of a cold call you would make to the COO of a mid-sized business. 4. How would you respond to: “We already have an IT provider and we're happy with them”? 5. What CRM and outbound sales tools have you used? 6. What is your availability during U.S. Eastern Time business hours?
