• You are comfortable on the phone and can adapt your communication style to different customers.

Typical Day

Your day starts by reviewing new leads that came in overnight and making sure each one is properly logged.

You’ll work through a call list, reaching out to prospective customers to introduce the company, answer initial questions, qualify their needs, and schedule appointments for the sales representative.

Throughout the day, you’ll update the CRM as each lead progresses, ensuring stages reflect reality and the pipeline data remains accurate.

You’ll also check on leads that are pending follow-up, re-engage where needed, and keep the schedule organized.

Most of your work is async and self-directed, but you’ll stay reachable for quick questions and proactively flag anything that requires a decision from leadership.
