Job Description

We are looking for a reliable, proactive and results-driven Lead Generation & Business Outreach Virtual Assistant to help grow our online business directories and service marketplaces.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for researching potential business partners and service providers, collecting accurate contact information, and reaching out to businesses through cold calling, email outreach and follow-up communications.

This is an ongoing opportunity for someone who is organised, communicates professionally and can work independently with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Research and identify potential businesses, service providers and professionals across different industries and countries.
• Find and verify business contact information, including email addresses, phone numbers, websites and social media profiles.
• Conduct cold calls to introduce our platforms and invite businesses to register or list their services.
• Write and send personalised cold outreach emails to prospective businesses.
• Follow up with interested prospects via email and telephone.
• Explain the benefits of joining our online directories and marketplaces.
• Assist interested businesses with registration and listing submissions.
• Maintain accurate records of prospects, communications, responses and follow-up activities.
• Track outreach performance, registrations and successful conversions.
• Provide regular progress reports and updates.

Requirements

• Previous experience in lead generation, cold calling, telemarketing, business development or virtual assistance.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Confident and professional telephone communication skills.
• Comfortable contacting businesses internationally, particularly in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.
• Strong online research skills and attention to detail.
• Experience using Google Sheets, Excel or CRM systems.
• Ability to work independently, manage time effectively and meet agreed targets.
• Reliable internet connection and a quiet environment suitable for business calls.
• Professional, persistent and comfortable handling rejection.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with B2B lead generation and business directory submissions.
• Familiarity with email outreach and follow-up campaigns.
• Experience using VoIP calling software and CRM platforms.
• Knowledge of LinkedIn, Google Maps and other business research tools.
• Previous experience recruiting businesses or service providers to online platforms.

Performance Expectations

• We are looking for someone who can deliver measurable results rather than simply complete administrative tasks.
• Performance will be evaluated based on:
• Number of genuine, qualified business leads identified.
• Accuracy of contact information.
• Number of successful email and telephone conversations.
• Number of interested businesses and completed registrations.
• Quality and consistency of follow-up communications.
• All outreach must be professional and comply with applicable telemarketing, privacy and anti-spam regulations.

What We Offer

• Fully remote working opportunity.
• Flexible working arrangements.
• Long-term ongoing work for the right candidate.
• Clear instructions, outreach templates and access to necessary tools.
• Opportunity to work across multiple online businesses and industries.
• Potential performance-based bonuses for successful results.
