About the role

The Phone-First Outbound Sales Representative makes cold calls to US-based local service business owners, such as pest control and lawn care companies, to book qualified, attended meetings for the client. The primary goal is consistently generating qualified, attended meetings; closing the customer is not the main responsibility. The role is full-time, works US Eastern Time business hours, and is a full-time contractor structure.

Make cold outbound calls to US-based local service business owners, including pest control, lawn care and similar businesses.
Get past gatekeepers and reach the business owner.
Book qualified appointments with business owners.
Own every step between the first cold call and the prospect attending the meeting, including callbacks, follow-up emails and reminders.
Handle no-show follow-ups and reschedule missed appointments.
Keep the CRM up to date.
Track call volume, decision-makers reached, meetings booked, meetings attended and show rate.
Work full-time during US Eastern Time business hours, targeting 200 outbound calls per week.

Comfortable working full-time during US Eastern Time business hours and making 200 outbound calls per week.
No conflicting full-time role.
Strong follow-up discipline: reminders, no-show follow-ups, rescheduling and CRM management.
Able to provide two references from previous managers if shortlisted.
Comfortable with a full-time, phone-first outbound sales role and the full-time contractor structure.

Nice to have

Experience selling to pest control, lawn care or other local service businesses.
