REQUIREMENTS

Experience Needed/Responsibilities

You are the tip of the spear. Your job is to start conversations and book qualified demos for our closers.

  • Cold call the lead lists we already have in GoHighLevel (GHL). We have hundreds of leads sitting in the CRM right now. You'll work them.
  • Call warm leads from every channel, including anyone who's shown interest through email campaigns, paid ads, conferences, podcasts, and any other organic or paid traffic. When a lead comes in, you're on it fast.
  • Run intro/fact-finding calls with prospects who booked a demo. Before they meet a closer, you'll have a short discovery conversation to understand their business, identify their pain points, and set the closer up to win.
  • Follow up relentlessly. No lead dies in your pipeline. You call, text, and email until you get a yes, a no, or a booked demo.
  • Log everything in GHL, including every dial, outcome, and note, so the whole team can see what's working.

Good to have

  • Organized enough to keep a pipeline clean in a CRM.
  • Wants a career, not just a gig — this role is the on-ramp to closing
  • Experience selling into the trades or home services,SaaS/software sales experience, or time in a high-volume SDR/BDR seat.

Non-negotiable Requirements

  • Someone who genuinely likes to grind — high dials, high energy, thick skin, short memory on a "no."
  • Willing and eager to cold call. This is most of the job. If the phone scares you, this role will not be a fit.
  • Coachable and hungry to learn a real sales process (we'll give you scripts, an objection playbook, and daily coaching — you bring the reps)

Industry/Tools Experience
