Appointment Setting:

* Engaging in non-scripted, professional conversations with senior decision-makers (e.g., CEOs, directors, managers).

* Identifying key pain points and articulating the client's value proposition.

* Securing qualified meetings or appointments for the client's sales team.

* Maintaining a clean and up-to-date database of prospects.

* Generating reports on call metrics and campaign performance.

Market Intelligence:

* Gathering and documenting information about market trends, competitor activity, and client feedback.

* Providing insights to help clients refine their sales and marketing strategies.

A successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the following skills:

Exceptional Communication

* This is the most crucial skill. A successful telemarketer must be articulate, confident, and persuasive. They need to be able to engage in intelligent, non-scripted conversations, listen actively to client needs, and adapt their tone and style to different people and situations.

Active Listening

* The ability to truly listen and understand a prospect's challenges and pain points is essential. This allows the telemarketer to tailor their message and identify whether the prospect is a good fit for their client's solution.

Resilience & Persistence

* This role involves a high volume of calls and frequent rejection. Success requires the mental toughness to handle setbacks, remain positive, and keep making calls. A persistent, "never give up" attitude is vital.

Rapport-Building

* The ability to quickly establish trust and a professional connection over the phone is key. This moves the conversation beyond a simple cold call and into a more collaborative discussion.

Time Management & Organisation

* A successful telemarketer needs to be highly organised to manage their call schedule, follow-up tasks, and track their pipeline effectively. They must be able to prioritise leads and activities to meet targets.

Curiosity & Problem-Solving

* A naturally inquisitive person who enjoys learning about different businesses and industries will excel. They should be able to ask insightful questions to uncover a client's needs and then position their own client's solution as the answer.

Goal Orientation

* This is a target-driven role. Success requires a strong desire to meet and exceed key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the number of calls made, appointments set, or leads generated.

CRM Proficiency

* The ability to use CRM software (like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zoho) to log activities, track leads, and manage data is a non-negotiable practical skill.

In return for your hard work and commitment, our client offers fantastic benefits and incentives including:

* Competitive salary and commission structure.

* Opportunities for career advancement.

* Comprehensive training and development.

* Supportive and collaborative work environment.

* Generous holiday allowance and flexible working arrangements.

* Recognition programs and incentives for top performers
