Sales Development Projects on Upwork via Vollna

We are a growing boutique bookkeeping firm seeking a sharp, strategic Full-Cycle Sales Representative to drive our outbound growth. If you love building targeted outbound lists, running automated sequences, managing multi-channel social outreach, and hosting introductory discovery calls to close deals, this is the perfect role for you.
In this role, you will manage the entire sales funnel from cold data extraction to a signed agreement. Rather than just following an existing script, you will use your sales expertise to help us build our sales infrastructure. With the owner's collaborative guidance on accounting nuances, you will assist in building the standardized consultation script, diagnostic questions, and a fixed pricing scorecard. This framework will allow you to confidently calculate quotes and close deals during your calls without ever needing to review a client's financial books.

Key Responsibilities:

* Sales Asset Creation: Partner with the firm owner to design and build a standardized onboarding script, qualifying diagnostic questions, and a structured pricing scorecard to productize our sales process.
* List Building & Prospecting: Use Apollo.io to search, filter, and extract high-quality, targeted lists of small business prospects (specifically focused on regional construction subcontractors and trades).
* Multi-Channel Outbound Campaigns: Launch, monitor, and optimize cold email sequences within Apollo and HubSpot, paired with manual or semi-automated LinkedIn outreach (InMails, connection requests, and personalized messaging), and cold calling if needed.
* Inbound Pipeline Management: Manage all replies across email and LinkedIn, clean incoming data, and track deal stages diligently inside HubSpot CRM.
* Discovery & Closing Calls: Conduct 15-to-30-minute consultation calls with interested business owners using the diagnostic tool you helped build. Plug their operational details into the pricing scorecard to deliver a standardized proposal and close the deal.

Required Experience & Qualifications:

* Software Mastery: Proven, hands-on experience using Apollo.io (building advanced filters and managing sequences) and HubSpot CRM (managing deal pipelines and email tracking). Please do not apply if you do not have experience with both tools.
* LinkedIn Social Selling: Demonstrated experience using LinkedIn for B2B sales outreach, including writing high-response connection notes and managing a social sales pipeline.
* Process & Strategy Creation: Proven experience building sales assets from scratch, including qualification scripts, discovery questionnaires, or pricing calculators.
* Full-Cycle Sales Track Record: Experience managing both top-of-funnel outbound prospecting and mid/bottom-of-funnel closing conversations.
* B2B Consultation Skills: Excellent verbal and written English communication skills. You must be comfortable asking direct qualifying questions regarding business revenue and operations.
* Self-Disciplined: This is a remote, part-time contract role. You must be capable of managing your weekly hours efficiently between technical data tasks, LinkedIn networking, strategic asset building, and live calls.

What We Provide:

* Fully configured Apollo.io and HubSpot accounts ready for launch.
* Direct, collaborative support from the firm owner to provide all necessary accounting, bookkeeping, and operational data needed to build the pricing scorecard and scripts.
* A collaborative environment where your sales expertise and strategic framework design are highly valued.

i am looking for a setter who will do b2b cold calling for my agency that offers marketing services like meta ads and google ads

We are a instructional design and eLearning consultancy with a proven track record and a growing portfolio of enterprise and mid-market clients across multiple countries and industries.

The honest situation: we are great at delivering. We build eLearning programs, implement LMS platforms, and run corporate training projects that clients love. What we do not yet have is a structured sales operation, a pipeline system, or anyone dedicated to outbound business development. That is where you come in.

What we are looking for

We need a fractional sales partner, not just a closer or a list builder. This person will work alongside our team to both execute outreach now and help us build a sustainable, semi-automated revenue pipeline over time.

This role has two layers:

▶️ Execution: Active outreach to ideal clients through LinkedIn, email, and relevant platforms. Booking discovery calls. Qualifying leads. Moving prospects through a pipeline.

▶️ Infrastructure: Helping us define our sales strategy, choose and set up the right CRM or pipeline tool, build automated nurture sequences, and create a repeatable system we can eventually hand off or scale with a team.

Ideal background

Proven experience in B2B sales for agencies, consultancies, or professional services
Comfortable with outbound prospecting and pipeline management
Experience setting up or optimizing sales funnels and automations (email sequences, CRM workflows, lead magnets)
Strong written English (Spanish is a plus but not required)
Understands how to sell intangible, high-value services (not SaaS, not physical products)
Bonus: familiarity with the L&D, HR tech, or eLearning space

What success looks like in 90 days

A defined ICP (ideal client profile) and outreach strategy aligned to our positioning
An active outbound pipeline with qualified leads moving through it
A basic CRM or pipeline set up and in use
At least 2 to 3 discovery calls booked per week through outreach

Engagement model
This is a part-time, ongoing engagement. We are open to a retainer, a base plus performance structure, or a hybrid, depending on your experience and what you bring to the table.

Let's talk.

How to apply
Tell us about a B2B sales system or pipeline you built or significantly improved for a service business. What was the starting point, what did you do, and what changed? We are not looking for the longest answer, we are looking for the most specific one.

We’re hiring a B2B Cold Caller to help expand our cleaning services across Australia! 🌏

Your role: reach out to schools, gyms, clinics, offices, and clubs, introduce our professional cleaning solutions, and help build long-term partnerships.

You’ll receive full training, work remotely, and join a supportive, fast-growing team.

Requirements: strong English communication, confident phone presence, and B2B or telesales experience.

💰 Starting rate: USD $3/hour during training, with increases and bonuses based on performance.
🕐 Schedule: Monday–Friday, 6–8 hours per day (some flexibility on Saturdays).

If you’re motivated, reliable, and enjoy connecting with people, we’d love to hear from you!

We're a high-volume land flipping business looking for a skilled Acquisitions Specialist to talk with motivated land sellers, build rapport, and negotiate purchase agreements. This is a sales role — you'll be on the phone a lot, and your ability to connect with people and close deals is what matters most. No real estate experience is required, but it's definitely a plus!

We offer attractive commission plus hourly incentives!!!

What you'll do:

Call and follow up with motivated sellers of vacant land
Build rapport quickly and understand seller motivation
Negotiate price and terms toward signed agreements
Handle objections calmly and keep deals moving
Log calls and update the CRM consistently
Hit activity and conversion targets

Who you are:

A strong communicator with a natural, confident phone presence
Persuasive without being pushy — people trust you quickly
Experienced in sales (real estate, solar, wholesaling, or other phone-based closing a big plus)
Comfortable with high call volume and follow-up
Organized and reliable with CRM/notes
Self-motivated and goal-driven
Excellent spoken English and a clear phone connection

Compensation:
Hourly base plus commission on closed deals. We want a motivated closer — the better you perform, the more you earn. Strong performers can earn well above the base.

To be considered, please submit a short audio presentation, introducing yourself, briefly walk us through your sales experience, and tell us why you would be a great fit to join our team.

Applications without an audio recording won't be considered.

I’m looking for an experienced B2B sales development professional to personally run a small, carefully targeted outbound test for a newly developed professional service: highly personalised 1:1 voice and communication coaching for professionals, commissioned by organisations.

I’m a solo specialist, not a company with an internal sales team. The offer, website and sales materials are already developed.

This is a high-trust professional service, so I’m not looking for mass outreach, hundreds of generic leads, or activity for its own sake. A shared core message is completely reasonable, but organisations and contacts should be selected carefully, with enough relevant adaptation for the communication to feel credible and professional.

Scope

The selected freelancer should personally handle:

target and account research;
contact sourcing;
outreach through appropriate channels;
human follow-ups and reply handling;
initial qualification;
booking relevant conversations;
simple reporting on responses, meetings and useful market feedback.

I’m not looking for someone who only provides strategy, templates or a lead list for me to execute. I also do not want to conduct the cold outreach myself.

Initial buyer hypotheses include:

HR, L&D, Talent and Leadership Development;
universities and research organisations;
professional-development and leadership programmes.

These are hypotheses to test rather than fixed assumptions. Reasoned refinements are welcome, but this is an execution-first role, not a broad consulting or branding project.

Goal of the pilot

The initial goal is modest:

determine whether appropriate organisational buyers understand the offer;
generate a small number of qualified conversations;
identify whether there is credible interest in a paid pilot;
gather useful evidence about targeting and messaging.

This is a limited-scope, part-time test, not a 30+ hour-per-week engagement.

To apply

Please briefly explain:

Whether this type of small, targeted professional-services project fits your experience.
Which parts of the process you would personally execute, including reply handling, qualification and booking.
How you would structure the initial test and approximately how long you would run it.
Your proposed hours, fee or project price.
Whether anyone else would be involved in the work.

I can share the website and one-page overview with suitable candidates.

Please do not apply if your service is limited to strategy, automated list building, email infrastructure, or supplying leads for the client to contact.

Thanks for your time!

• Calendar Coordination: Schedule introductory discovery calls between interested business owners and the Principal.

• Excellent written English skills—ability to write polite, professional communications to business owners.
• High attention to detail and strong data organization skills.

B2B Appointment Setter — Aluminum Dock & Stair Manufacturer (Dealer Recruitment)

Alummikon is a Maine manufacturer (since 1994) of PE-stamped aluminum docks, boat lifts, and the original adjustable All-Terrain Stair system. We're growing a national dealer network, and we need a sharp phone setter to open doors.

The role: Work a provided list of 1,000+ qualified prospects — dock builders, marinas, floating-dock dealers, and landscapers — and book short, warm intro calls onto the founder's calendar. You are not closing and you are not selling; you open the door, and the founder takes it from there.

What you'll do:

Make outbound calls to prospects on our list
Qualify fast: "Do you sell floating docks? Do you carry a stair line? What territory?"
Book qualified intro calls on the founder's calendar
Log every call and outcome in our CRM (GoHighLevel)
Hit a weekly booked-call target
(Email follow-up is handled in-house — this role is the phone.)

You are:

A fluent, clear English speaker with a warm, professional phone presence
Experienced in B2B outbound / appointment setting / SDR / cold calling
Organized, self-driven, and comfortable working in a CRM

Bonus: background in building products, construction, marine, or dealer/distributor recruitment.

Logistics: Ongoing, part-time (~20 hrs/week to start), US Eastern business hours, fully remote. Hourly rate plus a bonus for every qualified booked call. Real room to grow as we scale.

How we work: Be Happy. Work Hard. Do What You Say You're Going To Do.

To apply, please include:

A 30-second voice recording reading this line: "Hi, this is [your name] with Alummikon Dock Systems — we make aluminum dock and stair systems, and I'm reaching out to dock dealers about adding our line. Do you have two minutes?"
Two sentences on your B2B calling experience.
(Applications without the voice recording won't be considered.)

We're scaling fast and need a top-performing B2B Lead Generation, Cold Calling, Appointment Setting, SDR, and Telemarketing Expert who knows how to find decision-makers, start meaningful conversations, overcome objections, and consistently book qualified sales appointments. You should have proven experience with LinkedIn Lead Generation, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Email List Building, Prospect List Building, Outbound Sales, Sales Development, CRM Management, and B2B Outreach. Experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Close CRM, Aircall, Dialpad, RingCentral, and Google Sheets/Excel is a major advantage.

This is a results-driven opportunity where your performance directly impacts business growth. We're looking for someone who can generate qualified pipeline, increase appointment conversion rates, and help close more deals across industries like SaaS, Marketing Agencies, AI, Home Services, Healthcare, Real Estate, Manufacturing, and Professional Services. If you're a reliable Appointment Setter, SDR, Telemarketer, Cold Caller, or Lead Generation Specialist with a history of delivering measurable ROI, apply today—we're hiring immediately and looking for long-term talent.

We are a discreet, referral-only concierge office serving high-net-worth clientele. We are looking for a confident, well-spoken caller to run outbound calls to a provided list of contacts, mostly senior people at football clubs and agencies.

This is not high-volume telesales. Our audience is small, senior, and relationship-driven. Tone, credibility, and discretion matter more than call volume. One clumsy call can cost us a referral, so we need someone who sounds like they belong in this world.

This is a one-day-a-week role, either a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

What you will do:
- Make outbound calls to a provided list of contacts
- Qualify interest and book meetings for our founder
- Send follow-up emails where required
- Log all contacts and outcomes into our CRM (training given)

Essential, non-negotiable
- Based in the UK, so you can call during UK hours and sound local to our contacts
- You must have sold for a service-based business before (agency, concierge, consultancy, or similar). This role is not for product or retail sellers.
- Willing to sign an NDA, as discretion is central to how we work

You are also a strong fit if you:
- Sound credible and warm to a senior decision maker on the phone
- Are reliable, discreet, and organised

Nice to have:
- Experience in sports, luxury, or high-value B2B

To apply:
- A short note on your relevant experience
- Your CV
- A two-minute voice note pitching our service to a Head of Player Care

We care most about how you sound on the voice note, so please don't skip it.

We’re looking for an aggressive, resourceful, and results-driven growth marketer to help us rapidly expand our online social gaming community.

This is not a social media manager or customer support position.

This is a player acquisition role.

We’re looking for someone who is exceptional at lead generation, cold outreach, relationship building, and converting conversations into active players.

Although experience with UGC and influencer outreach is important, your primary responsibility will be finding new players—not influencers or affiliates.

If you’re the type of person who can find opportunities where others don’t, enjoys reaching out to strangers, and knows how to turn conversations into customers, this is the role for you.

We’re a family-oriented team that values collaboration, communication, and long-term relationships. We genuinely want our team members to succeed. As our company grows, you’ll have the opportunity to grow with us through increased responsibilities, performance-based raises, bonuses, and career advancement.

What You’ll Be Doing

Every day you’ll be focused on one objective:

Finding new players and helping grow revenue.

Your responsibilities include:

* Proactively finding potential players across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Discord, Telegram, X, gaming communities, forums, livestreams, and other online platforms.
* Conducting personalized one-on-one DM outreach to build genuine relationships.
* Identifying communities where our ideal players already spend time.
* Starting conversations that naturally lead to player sign-ups.
* Following up consistently until prospects become active players.
* Identifying new acquisition opportunities before anyone else.
* Testing different outreach strategies to improve conversion rates.
* Tracking outreach, conversations, player sign-ups, deposits, conversions, and retention.
* Working closely with team to continuously improve our acquisition strategy.
* Bringing new ideas that can help us scale faster.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of finding people and convincing them to give something new a try.

The Ideal Candidate

You have experience in one or more of the following:

* Lead Generation
* UGC Outreach
* Influencer Outreach
* Community Growth
* Customer Acquisition
* Appointment Setting
* Sales Development
* Outbound Prospecting
* Cold Outreach
* Business Development

You are:

* Extremely resourceful.
* Comfortable sending a high volume of personalized outreach messages.
* Excellent at building trust quickly.
* Naturally persuasive without sounding salesy.
* Competitive and motivated by results.
* Organized with strong follow-up habits.
* Comfortable trying new ideas and improving based on feedback.
* Collaborative and able to execute leadership’s strategy.

Experience with Facebook Groups, Discord communities, Reddit, Telegram, TikTok, Instagram, gaming communities, or other online communities is highly preferred.

What Success Looks Like

We don’t measure success by how many messages you send.

We measure success by business growth.

Success means:

* Consistently bringing in qualified new players.
* Increasing first-time deposits.
* Improving player conversion rates.
* Increasing player retention.
* Helping drive measurable revenue growth.
* Discovering new sources of player acquisition.
* Continuously improving outreach performance.

We’re looking for someone who treats our growth like it’s their own business.

Compensation

* $150 per week
* Long-term opportunity.
* Performance-based raises and bonuses for exceptional results.
* As our company continues to grow, you’ll have opportunities to take on additional responsibilities, increase your earnings, and grow alongside us.

🔗 Our business: selling backlinks / sponsored articles on a solid, well-positioned French website. The product exists and ships in 24-48h — all you have to do is find clients and sign them.

✂️ Your offer:
- A personalized article published on our site, with the client's link placed naturally (dofollow, no sponsored tag)
- Niche Health / Home / DIY / Wellness / Pool: 50,000 visits/month, TF 30, CF 41, 1,100 referring domains — €97 excl. tax
- The link can also be slipped into an already-published article — same price
- Delivery in 24-48h — writing and publishing is on us, closing is on you

🎯 In practice, you:
- Prospect and steer the whole discussion with the client
- Once you have the go-ahead, send us the order info (target URL, anchor text, optional article) and billing details
- Prospect where the demand is (we share solutions if needed): SEO/netlinking Facebook groups, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, freelance platforms, web agencies & SEO freelancers

🤝 Your pay:
- 15% commission per sale brought in
- You move up to 20% after 5 sales/month over 2 consecutive months
- Link buyers come back regularly → a commission that repeats on your loyal clients

👤 The ideal profile:
- SEO / netlinking holds no secrets for you (backlink, TF, guest post)
- Cold outreach and written closing — you've got it
- Fluent French required (main market)
- Autonomous, regular, results-driven

💰 100% commission — great for recurring, scalable income, best avoided if you want a fixed rate.

📥 To apply, tell us:
- Do you have experience selling backlinks / SEO services? If so, for whom and roughly how many sales?
- How did you go about finding your clients (channels, method)?
- How would you find your first 5 clients with us? Give the exact channels.

One of our client who is a UK-based bid and proposal consultancy. We help companies win public sector and enterprise contracts, writing, managing and reviewing the bids that decide who gets the work.

We are a small, growing team and we work closely together. We are building our revenue engine now, and we are building it carefully rather than quickly. Our target market is deliberately narrow: UK technology and IT services companies within a defined revenue band, speaking with directors, VPs and C-level. Every message we send is written for one person.

The role

We are looking for one person to take ownership of the machinery behind our outbound and inbound — the CRM, the automation that sits underneath it, and the writing that goes out the front.

The strategy and ideal customer profile are already defined and owned internally, which means you can focus on building and running something that works rather than on figuring out who we are targeting. You will report to our marketing and sales lead, who will give you a clear, written brief. We would rather hear early when something is not working than find out later, so we welcome that kind of feedback.

What the work involves

Writing emails that get replies. This is the part we value most. Cold email to senior UK buyers, written one contact at a time, that reads like a person rather than a template. You would be writing on behalf of a senior consultant to other senior people, so a professional and understated register matters more than persuasive energy. We are looking for genuine relevance rather than volume.

Working confidently across HubSpot. HubSpot is our single source of truth and we would like someone who treats it as such. Alongside sequences, that means lifecycle stages, lead status and routing, custom properties, deal pipelines, task automation, list logic, deduplication by domain, and reporting we can act on. If you have views on how a CRM should be structured, we would like to hear them.

Running LinkedIn outreach. Connection requests and follow-up sequences against an approved target account list, in the region of 40 invitations a day within LinkedIn’s weekly limits. You would be writing in the founder’s voice using approved scripts, keeping the tone measured and professional throughout.
Prospecting and list building. Sourcing and verifying right-party contacts using Sales Navigator and our enrichment stack. Job titles, company size and geography filters will be specified for you.

A short weekly update. Contacts added, invitations sent, acceptance rate, reply rate, meetings booked, inbound conversions. Brief and factual is perfect.

Scope — so there are no surprises

We think it is fairer to be clear about the boundaries up front, so you can judge whether the role suits you.

This is not a social media or content role. We are not looking for social posts, creative design, personal branding or follower growth, and we are not looking to build engagement through pods or reciprocal-liking groups.
It is also not a high-volume email role. We are not planning to add further sending tools or work from purchased lists. Our approach is low volume and high relevance.

On hours: we have a realistic sense of how long this work takes, and we have scoped the role accordingly. We are looking for someone comfortable working efficiently within that, and we would rather agree a sensible number of hours together at the outset than revisit it later.

What we are looking for

• Strong written English with a feel for the UK market. An understanding of how British professionals write to one another — measured, direct, without a hard sell. Writing is central to this role, so we will look at it closely during the process.

• Real depth in HubSpot. Beyond Marketing Email and sequences: workflows and automation logic, lifecycle and lead status management, properties and objects, forms and landing pages, list segmentation, deduplication and reporting. Ideally you are comfortable in the tool without needing training, and familiar with where the tier limits sit.

• Demonstrable B2B outbound experience — LinkedIn and email — into Western markets, with reply and meeting numbers you are able to share.
• Nice to have Inbound experience: lead capture, conversion paths, and the follow-up automation behind them.
• LinkedIn Sales Navigator: search, filters, lead and account lists.
• Comfort working to a narrow ICP rather than casting the net wide.
• Reasonable overlap with UK business hours and responsiveness on Microsoft Teams.

Also welcome, though not essential: Clay or similar enrichment tools; experience selling professional or consulting services; familiarity with UK public sector procurement.

Hours and engagement
• Hourly and tracked, on an ongoing basis rather than a monthly retainer.
• 15–20 hours per week to begin with, with room to grow as the inbound side comes online.
• We are hoping to build a long-term working relationship, and would rather invest in one capable person than spread the work thinly across several.

We are looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial SDR or business development professional to help us build an AI-first channel partner motion for Opsfolio, our Compliance as a Service (CaaS) and GRC Engineering platform.

This is not primarily a high-volume cold-calling role.

We want someone who can understand our business, identify organizations that already have trusted relationships with companies needing compliance assistance, use AI to research and prioritize those potential partners, develop highly personalized outreach, and help us close the first several channel relationships.

About Opsfolio.com

Opsfolio helps organizations assess, remediate, implement, and continuously manage cybersecurity and regulatory compliance requirements.

Our model combines software, automation, evidence collection, GRC expertise, and actual engineering/remediation services.

A key part of our go-to-market strategy is assessment-first.

Rather than asking every prospect to schedule a sales call, we have created self-assessment software covering areas including:

• SOC 2 Type I and Type II
• CMMC
• HIPAA

Prospects can begin by completing an assessment themselves. The assessment helps identify gaps and provides a natural path toward deeper remediation, evidence collection, GRC Engineering, and ongoing Compliance as a Service when appropriate.

This creates an interesting opportunity for channel partners.

The Channel Opportunity

Many professional-services organizations have clients asking compliance questions but do not want to build their own technical compliance engineering teams.

Examples include:

• Law firms serving technology companies, MSPs, government contractors, healthcare organizations, and other regulated businesses
• Accounting and advisory firms
• CPA firms involved with SOC 2 and related assurance work
• MSPs and MSSPs
• Cybersecurity consultants
• vCISOs
• Technology advisory firms
• Government contracting consultants
• Insurance and risk advisors
• Other trusted professional-services organizations

Our objective is not to replace these firms.

Instead, Opsfolio can become the technical compliance and GRC Engineering capability sitting behind their existing client relationships.

For example, a law firm may identify that one of its clients needs CMMC compliance. Rather than simply referring the client to another consultant, the firm could provide access to a lightly white-labeled CMMC self-assessment.

The client completes the assessment themselves.

The resulting gaps can then create several possible paths. Some issues may belong with the client's internal team or MSP. Legal and regulatory questions remain with the law firm. Technical remediation and ongoing compliance operations can be handled through Opsfolio.

The same model can work with accounting firms, MSPs, consultants, and other trusted advisors.

Channel partners can conduct outreach themselves using our lightly white-labeled assessments, or potentially provide us with appropriate contact lists so we can help operate the assessment outreach on their behalf.

What We Want You to Build

We want an SDR who thinks more like a GTM engineer than someone working from a traditional call list.

Your first objective will be to understand the Opsfolio offering and determine which channel partner profiles are most likely to generate meaningful opportunities.

You will then use modern AI-assisted research and sales techniques to:

• Define and refine our channel ICPs
• Build targeted lists of law firms, accounting firms, MSPs, advisory firms, and other potential partners
• Research individual firms before outreach
• Identify the appropriate partners, principals, practice leaders, business development executives, and other decision-makers
• Determine why Opsfolio might be strategically relevant to each organization
• Develop personalized outreach rather than generic sequences
• Experiment with email, LinkedIn, referrals, and other appropriate channels
• Introduce the assessment-first partnership model
• Get qualified partners interested enough to evaluate the assessments and partnership opportunity
• Participate in or help coordinate partner conversations
• Help us close the first few channel partners
• Document what works and turn those learnings into a repeatable AI-first channel sales playbook

We specifically want thoughtful experimentation.

For example, instead of sending 1,000 nearly identical emails to lawyers, we would rather identify 50 firms with meaningful MSP, government contracting, healthcare, cybersecurity, privacy, or technology practices and understand why each might have clients who need CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, or related services.

AI should make that level of research economically practical.

What Success Looks Like

The initial engagement should answer a practical question:

Can we create a repeatable, scalable channel acquisition motion around Opsfolio's assessment-first CaaS model?

We don't want a strategy presentation that ends there.

We want research, outreach, conversations, experiments, and actual prospective channel partners.

The strongest candidate will help us acquire several real partners while documenting exactly how they were found, why they responded, what objections emerged, which messaging worked, and how we can scale the successful patterns.

Who We're Looking For

You may be a particularly good fit if you have experience selling through or into professional-services organizations such as law firms, accounting/CPA firms, MSPs, cybersecurity firms, technology consultants, government contractors, or compliance organizations.

Experience with cybersecurity, GRC, CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, or compliance services is valuable but not mandatory if you can learn technical markets quickly.

More important is your ability to combine sales judgment with AI-assisted research.

We expect you to be comfortable experimenting with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, enrichment platforms, research agents, automation tools, and similar technologies. We are not prescribing a particular stack. We care much more about the quality of the resulting research and conversations.

What to Include in Your Proposal

Please do not send us a generic SDR proposal.

Tell us how you would approach this specific channel-development problem.

In particular, explain:

1. Which two or three channel categories you would test first and why.
2. How you would use AI to identify firms showing evidence that their clients are likely to need CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, or related compliance assistance.
3. How you would identify the right person inside each firm.
4. How you would personalize outreach without making the process prohibitively expensive or manual.
5. How you would explain the assessment-first model to a law firm or accounting firm.
6. What you would try to accomplish during your first 30 days.
7. Examples of similar channel, partnership, SDR, or GTM work you have personally performed.

As a small test of how you think, please also give us one example of an unconventional or under-the-radar channel partner category we have not mentioned above that you believe could work for Opsfolio, and explain why.

We are especially interested in candidates who can help us discover the playbook, prove it with actual partner acquisition, and then turn it into a scalable AI-first sales process.

Engaige is an AI customer support platform for e-commerce brands. Our AI agent autonomously resolves the tickets that eat up CX teams' days, order tracking, returns, order edits, product questions, so support teams can scale without scaling headcount.

We work primarily with Shopify and DTC brands across Europe, and we're now opening the DACH market. We need someone on the ground in Germany to get us in front of e-commerce decision-makers.

- Self-starter who manages their own pipeline and follow-ups

Trial setup

Send your resume plus short answers to:
- Your outbound calling experience, what you sold, to whom, and typical daily call volume
- Any e-commerce or SaaS sales background
- Your availability and preferred working hours
- In two or three sentences: how would you open a cold call to the head of customer service at a German fashion brand doing 3000 tickets a month?

Applications without an answer to question 4 won't be reviewed.

## Overview

I've built a small network of local business directory websites for suburbs in Cape Town. The sites are live and full of local businesses.

Now I want to start earning from them by getting businesses to pay for a sponsored spot, and honestly I'm a developer, not a salesperson. I don't really know the best way to go about this. I'm looking for someone who does this kind of thing for a living to figure out the approach and run it for me.

## What I have

- Three live directory sites, more on the way
- A tool that generates a live preview link for any business, showing their branding already placed on the site, so you can show them exactly what they'd be paying for before they commit

## An open question I want your help with

I'm not sure which way to sell it, and I'd like your read on what's easier to actually get signed:

- **Category sponsorship:** a business becomes the exclusive sponsor of their category on their local site (for example the only plumber featured in Edgemead), for a small monthly fee. More spots to sell per site, but smaller deals.
- **Full-site sponsorship:** one business sponsors the whole local site as the headline local partner. Fewer, bigger deals, but only one per site.

I genuinely don't know which is the better play, or whether it's a mix. You've sold this kind of thing before and I haven't, so I want your honest view on which is easier to sell, prices better, and holds up over time.

## What I need from you

I'm open here. Tell me what you'd do. Roughly, I imagine it looks like: decide the offer, work out who to approach, reach out to them, show them the preview, and get them signed up. But you know this better than I do. If my pricing is wrong, my targeting is off, or there's a smarter way to do the whole thing, I want to hear it.

## Who I think I'm looking for

- Based in South Africa, comfortable dealing with local small business owners
- Has actually sold to small businesses before and can point to results
- Happy to start small, prove it works, then scale it up with me
- Good communicator, keeps me in the loop simply

## How I'd like to work

I'd rather start with a small paid trial so we can both see if it's a fit, then move to a commission or revenue share once we know it works. Open to your view on what's fair.

## To apply, tell me

1. Something similar you've sold before and how it went
2. Whether you'd go category or full-site sponsorship here, and why
3. How you'd approach this if it were yours
4. Your availability and what payment structure you'd want

The focus is on organisations looking to:
• Understand customer demand

This is not a cold lead generation role from scratch.

I already have:
• Around 100 identified contacts
• Existing LinkedIn connections
• Additional target company lists
• Defined target personas
• Core messaging and value proposition

Your role is to turn these opportunities into qualified discovery conversations.

Responsibilities
• Identify the right decision-maker within target organisations
• Conduct outreach via LinkedIn, email and telephone
• Personalise messages where needed
• Manage follow-up activity
• Qualify interest
• Book discovery meetings
• Maintain a simple prospect tracking process

Target Roles

Typical contacts include:
• Head of Customer Support
• Head of Customer Service
• Head of Customer Experience
• Customer Operations Manager
• Contact Centre Manager
• Customer Insight Manager
• Operations Director
• COO


Success Measures
• 5-10 qualified meetings during the first two weeks
• 3-5 qualified meetings per week thereafter

Quality is more important than volume.

Meetings should be with genuine decision-makers or senior influencers responsible for customer service, support operations or customer experience.

Ideal Experience
• B2B appointment setting
• LinkedIn, email and telephone outreach
• Professional services or consulting
• Customer service, contact centre or CX sectors (preferred)
• UK market experience
• Native English speaker or fluent English with experience working UK business hours

Hours & Budget
• Initial engagement: 5-10 hours per week
• Potential to increase based on results
• Preference will be given to candidates with strong Upwork history and proven results rather than entry-level or "rising talent" profiles

Please Include
1. Examples of relevant appointment-setting work.
2. The outreach channels you typically use.
3. Your preferred pricing model (hourly, per meeting or hybrid).
4. Why you think you would be a good fit for this role.
