Describe a recent outbound campaign you ran (who was the target, what channels, what tools). 2. Roughly how many cold emails/DMs per day are you comfortable sending? 3. What tools have you used for prospecting (Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Nav, etc.)? 4. Share 1–2 short cold email or DM examples you’ve written that performed well.

Hi! I’m looking for a LinkedIn and Sales Navigator expert to provide private coaching and consulting. I work for a data-driven marketing and analytics company that helps banks and credit unions grow deposits, loans, households, and members through data, targeting, and measurable marketing strategies. I'm looking for someone who can help me and our President maximize LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. Specifically, we're looking to improve our prospecting strategy, build better target lists, optimize our profiles, increase response rates, refine our messaging, and ultimately generate more qualified meetings with banking and credit union executives. We're not looking for someone to manage outreach for us—we're looking for an advisor who can teach us best practices, review our current approach, and help us build a repeatable process we can use long-term. If this sounds like your area of expertise, I'd love to learn more about your experience and how you typically work with clients.

I run a commercial cleaning company and am looking for a reliable Virtual Assistant to help identify, research, and reach out to potential subcontractor partners.

I run a SaaS platform for HVAC contractors that automates lead follow up and customer communication. I'm looking for a sales rep to help grow our client base. What this role involves: - Reaching out to and closing small business owners (HVAC/home service industry) on a subscription based software product - Conducting demo calls and walkthroughs as needed (we provide the demo materials and offer details) - Some leads will come from our existing outreach, and we're open to reps who bring their own network or leads in this space - Following up and closing deals Compensation: $200 commission per closed client, paid after payment clears. Plus retention bonuses for clients who stay active: $50 at 90 days, $75 at 6 months, and $100 at 1 year. Ideal for: Someone with experience selling subscription software or services to small business owners, particularly in trades and home services. Comfortable with both inbound demo calls and outbound prospecting. This is an early stage opportunity. We're building this together, so there's room to shape the role and grow with it.

I work for Marsh and am responsible for my own revenue for my book of business. I run employer healthcare benefits consulting practice that helps employers fix what's broken in their health plans—runaway costs, opaque PBMs, and carrier incentives that don't serve the buyer. The demand for this is real and growing. My bottleneck is simple: I'm spending too much time prospecting and not enough time in front of decision-makers. I'm looking for someone to own my outbound and book qualified meetings on my calendar. You'd handle everything except LinkedIn (I keep that channel myself). Cold email, phone, and multi-channel follow-up are yours to run. What you'd own: -Building and refining target lists (employers—usually HR, Finance, CFO, CEO decision-makers) -Writing and sending cold email sequences that sound human and get replies -Cold calling and phone follow-up -Managing replies, handling objections, and scheduling -Booking qualified discovery meetings directly on my calendar -Reporting on what's working so we sharpen the system over time You're a strong fit if you: -Have a real track record booking B2B meetings through cold outbound (specifics, not "I've done sales") -Write email copy that gets responses -Are comfortable on the phone and don't dodge cold calls -Know your way around outreach tools (Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead, HubSpot, dialers, etc.) -Are self-directed—I want to hand this off, not micromanage it Bonus points: -Experience selling into HR, benefits, healthcare, insurance, or directly to employers -You know how to talk to executives about cost and risk Pay: I'm open on structure and want something that aligns us. I'd consider a base (hourly or retainer) plus a bonus per qualified meeting, with a closed-deal bonus on top once we're rolling. In your reply, pitch me the structure you'd want and why—how you think about incentives tells me a lot. The bigger opportunity: This can be more than a contract. If we build a good rapport and you do strong work, I'm happy to train and educate you on the health plan and benefits industry—it's a high-value space most people never get exposure to, and you'd build a real, marketable skill set. For the right person, this could grow into a full-time role down the line. I'm looking for someone I can invest in, not just rent. To apply, answer these in your first message (skip the generic pitch—I won't read it): 1. Walk me through one outbound campaign you ran: the target, the channel, and the actual results (meetings booked, reply rate, etc.). 2. What tools would you want to run this? 3. How would you structure pay, and what would you need from me to hit the ground running? Start your reply with the word "PLAN" so I know you read this all the way through.
