Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
We're looking for a friendly, confident, and Lead Generation Specialist to help us connect with local service businesses across the United States. This role is perfect for someone who genuinely enjoys talking with people and building relationships. We're not looking for someone who simply reads a script. We provide talking points and training, but we want someone who can listen, adapt, ask questions, and have natural conversations with small business owners. If you're confident on the phone and motivated by performance-based bonuses, this role offers the opportunity to earn well beyond the hourly base. What You'll Do • Make outbound cold calls to local service businesses. • Follow up with prospects through multiple touchpoints to maximize response rates. • Introduce our services and generate interest from prospective clients. • Build genuine rapport with small business owners. • Identify interested business owners and hand qualified leads off to our team for follow-up. • Keep accurate notes and update prospect statuses after each conversation. What We're Looking For • Must be based in the United States. • Native-level spoken English with clear, professional phone communication. • Friendly, confident, and conversational. • Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls. • Able to handle rejection with a positive attitude. • Organized and reliable. • Previous cold calling or sales experience preferred. Our customers are hardworking small business owners. They respond much better to someone who sounds genuine and conversational than someone delivering a scripted sales pitch. If you're naturally good at connecting with people and thinking on your feet, you'll do well in this role. Compensation • $5/hour base pay • $100 bonus for every client who signs with us as a direct result of your outreach • No cap on bonuses - the more clients you help us close, the more you earn. • Approximately 6 hours per week to start, with opportunities for additional hours as we grow. Our goal is to reward results. If you're naturally persistent, resilient, and consistently generate qualified leads, there is significant opportunity to increase your earnings through uncapped bonuses and additional hours as we grow. Hiring Process Selected candidates will participate in a brief screening followed by a paid 6-hour trial. This gives both of us the opportunity to see if we're a good fit before moving forward.
