Performance & KPI Management

• Work toward defined prospecting and appointment-setting targets
• Track outbound activity and meeting generation
• Maintain consistent outreach volume and follow-up discipline
• Monitor response and conversion performance
• Continuously improve messaging and objection handling based on results

Requirements

• 1+ years of experience in SDR, BDR, appointment setting, telemarketing, outbound sales, or a similar role

• Handle rejection and objections professionally
• Communicate clearly and persuasively
• Follow up consistently instead of giving up after one attempt
• Are motivated by measurable targets and results
• Stay organized while managing multiple prospects
• Take ownership of your activity and appointment-setting performance
