Govtech appointment setter

We're a B2B platform serving the economic development community, and we're looking for a Business Development Representative to set appointments by phone with economic development professionals from a list we provide. This is a calling role specifically. We're not looking for email or LinkedIn outreach here. We want someone who can pick up the phone, work through a curated list of contacts, and turn those calls into booked meetings for our team. Your task is straightforward to describe and takes real skill to do well. We hand you a targeted list of economic development professionals such as economic development organizations, chambers of commerce, and regional development agencies. You call them, introduce what we do in a credible and professional way, qualify them lightly to make sure they're the right person, and book a short discovery call on our calendar. You'll log your activity and outcomes in our CRM so we can see what's working, and you'll aim to hit a weekly target for appointments set. We provide the contact list, a script and talking points to start from, scheduling tools, and a quick onboarding so you understand who we are and why this audience cares. The skills we're looking for are proven appointment-setting or BDR experience in B2B, with a strong and confident phone presence. This audience is public-sector and quasi-public, so tone and credibility matter a great deal. You should have excellent spoken English, the persistence to work a list without getting discouraged, and the self-direction to manage your own day and hit your numbers without close supervision. Comfort with a CRM and basic scheduling tools is expected. Experience selling to or working with government, civic, nonprofit, or economic development buyers is a strong plus. Good communication matters to us, both on the phone with prospects and with our team. We'd like regular, brief check-ins on how the calling is going, what objections you're hearing, and where the list is converting or stalling, so we can adjust the script and targeting together. We like to work in a collaborative and low-drama way. We give you clear targets and the tools to hit them, we're responsive when you have questions, and we'd rather solve problems together than leave you guessing. If you do good work, there's room for this to grow into a larger, ongoing engagement. To apply, tell us briefly about your appointment-setting experience and the kinds of audiences you've called, roughly how many meetings you booked per week in past roles, and any experience reaching public-sector or civic buyers. A short note on how you approach a cold call is a plus.
