• Maintain accurate CRM notes, lead statuses and callback information.
• Re-engage inactive or previously lost prospects.
• Conduct occasional outbound prospecting when inbound priorities are under control.
• Support marketing and client engagement campaigns through phone and email outreach.

Qualifications

• 2+ years' experience in inbound sales, appointment setting, customer service, contact centres or another phone-based client-facing environment.
• Exceptional spoken and written English with a professional telephone manner.
• Strong rapport-building, active listening and questioning skills.
• Comfortable spending a significant portion of the day speaking with clients.
• Confident handling follow-ups, objections and occasional outbound cold calls.
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple appointments and callbacks.
• Experience using CRM or client-management systems.
• Comfortable using or quickly learning Google Workspace and Slack.
• Detail-oriented with accurate documentation and follow-through.
• Self-motivated, proactive and accountable when working remotely.
• Insurance or financial services experience is beneficial but not required.

• Reliable high-speed internet.
• Dependable power access and a professional headset.
• Comfortable working with secure systems, VPN access and strict confidentiality requirements.

Ideal Profile

A warm, articulate and confident communicator who genuinely enjoys speaking with people, follows up consistently and knows how to turn a positive conversation into a well-qualified appointment.
