About the Role
The caller will work directly with an advertising sales team to contact local businesses, introduce the advertising opportunity, qualify prospects, and book appointments for the sales representative.

- Follow up with prospects as needed
- Stay organized and track progress throughout the day
- Focus on booking strong, relevant appointments that understand why they are being contacted
Requirements

- Ability to handle objections professionally
- Reliable, consistent, and self-motivated
- Comfortable working in a sales-focused environment
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to research businesses and identify strong prospects
- Must be comfortable making a high volume of calls

Ideal Candidate
The right candidate is confident, persistent, and professional. You know how to keep a conversation moving, create interest, and book appointments that give the sales representative a strong opportunity to close. You understand that quality appointments are more important than just filling a schedule.
