About the Role

We are looking for a confident and results-driven Outbound BDR / Cold Caller to support business development efforts for U.S.-based companies.

This is a hands-on outbound calling role focused on connecting with businesses, identifying the right decision-makers, generating interest, and creating qualified sales opportunities. The ideal candidate is comfortable spending a significant portion of the day on the phone and can communicate naturally and confidently with U.S.-based prospects.

Success in this role requires a combination of strong call activity, quality conversations, persistence, and the ability to navigate organizations to reach the appropriate contacts.

What You'll Do

• Make consistent outbound cold calls to U.S.-based businesses and decision-makers.
• Identify and connect with the appropriate contacts within target companies.
• Engage prospects in professional, natural conversations to understand their needs and determine potential interest.
• Navigate gatekeepers and organizational structures to reach relevant decision-makers.
• Maintain a high and consistent level of outbound activity while prioritizing call quality and meaningful conversations.
• Accurately log calls, outcomes, notes, and follow-up activities in the CRM.
• Send basic follow-up emails and requested information after conversations with prospects.
• Follow up with interested or previously contacted prospects when appropriate.
• Maintain organized records and ensure opportunities and next steps are properly documented.
• Learn the terminology, products, and services needed to communicate credibly with prospects.
• Collaborate with the team and provide visibility into call activity, prospect feedback, and results.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in outbound sales, cold calling, appointment setting, lead generation, or B2B business development.
• Demonstrated experience handling a high volume of outbound calls on a consistent basis.
• Strong track record of generating positive outcomes from cold outreach, such as qualified conversations, appointments, leads, or sales opportunities.
• Excellent spoken English with clear, natural, and confident communication.
• Experience communicating with U.S.-based prospects or customers.
• Comfortable speaking with business owners, managers, executives, and other decision-makers.
• Strong ability to handle objections, gatekeepers, rejection, and repeated outreach professionally.
• Ability to quickly learn industry-specific and technical terminology.
• Organized and disciplined when tracking calls, follow-ups, and prospect information.
• Reliable and responsive during agreed U.S. business hours.
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience prospecting within industrial, manufacturing, technical, or B2B service industries.
• Experience using HubSpot or similar CRM platforms.
• Experience with JustCall or other outbound calling platforms.
• Familiarity with technical or industry-specific sales conversations.

What Success Looks Like

This role is not simply about hitting an arbitrary number of calls. We are looking for someone who can maintain strong daily activity while having productive conversations and consistently reaching the right people.

The successful candidate will be proactive, persistent, confident on the phone, and focused on turning outbound activity into meaningful business opportunities while keeping accurate records of every interaction.
