• Polished Communicator: You have an engaging phone presence and can hold peer-level, professional business conversations with executive decision-makers.
• Strategically Creative: You know how to navigate past gatekeepers and build instant rapport.
• Tech-Savvy: You are comfortable working with standard business tools, spreadsheets, and CRMs (such as HubSpot or Salesforce).
• Highly Coachable: You love hitting benchmarks, beating your personal bests, and actively applying feedback to improve.

Nice-to-Haves (But Not Required):

• Prior experience in outbound B2B tele-sales, cold-calling, or appointment setting.
• Exposure to CRM workflows.
• A general interest in technology, IT services, or SaaS.
