Summary

Overview: Established service-based business (10+ years) is scaling our customer outreach. We're hiring a personable, American-based caller to book service appointments from our existing customer database—and we're looking for someone reliable enough to grow with us long-term. (Our last appointment setter worked with us 6 years.) The Trial: 2–4 week evaluation period. We need someone dependable. You get to see if it's a real, stable opportunity. If both sides are happy, we move to a deeper commitment, potentially full-time. The Work: You'll call customers who recognize our product to schedule service appointments. Your job: confirm availability, answer basic questions, book confirmed appointments into our Google Calendar, and firm people up to achieve 90%+ show and completion for set appointments. This will be one of the easiest calling roles you will ever have. - Starting hours: 10–20 hrs/week (flexible within 10 AM–6 PM window) - If you perform: Discussion for increase hours up to full-time role (30–40 hrs/week ) - Booking pace: Warm leads convert steady (easier than cold calling) Pay: - $15–$30/hour depending on experience and performance - Payment method: Weekly via Upwork only What We Need: - Natural, warm phone presence (personable tone) - Native English speaker / American accent - Reliable, consistent work ethic - Ability to follow call script and thoroughly confirm appointments - Familiarity with Google Calendar or quick learner What's Important: - Customer database is pre-qualified (warm leads outreach) - TCPA-compliant calling practices required - Appointment = confirmed Google Calendar booking with firm confirmation - Quality confirmation work reduces no-shows - CRM data entry required after each call - Trial metrics: We'll evaluate volume, quality, and reliability at 2-week mark; decision on continuation/full-time offer by week 4 Why This Works: Warm leads, predictable work, no cold-call grind. Short trial = low risk for both of us. Strong performers move to a deeper commitment or full-time. Real growth opportunity if you deliver consistent results. Application requirement: Send a 2-minute voice message + brief note on what you could bring to the role based on past experience.
