Outbound Lead Generator
Job Description
A specialised service provider is seeking a proactive, articulate, and results-driven Virtual Assistant (VA) for Sales and Lead Generation for 3.5 hours per week. This micro role focuses exclusively on outbound cold calling within the private school sector, designed to turn cold prospects into warm, interested leads.
Operating independently with total schedule flexibility, your core mandate is to bypass gatekeepers, connect with key educational decision makers, and spark interest in a highly valuable service. This pure outbound telephone sales and guidance role-there is no complex closing required. Your success is measured by your ability to create a great first impression, answer baseline questions, and direct motivated schools to our website to complete their purchase.
Key Responsibilities- Outbound Cold Calling: Actively call a targeted list of private schools to initiate contact.
- Decision Maker Engagement: Navigate gatekeepers to speak directly with key decision makers (Principals, Headmasters, or Bursars).
- Service Introduction: Confidently introduce the service, deliver a concise value proposition, and generate genuine interest.
- Prospect Nurturing: Follow up with previously contacted prospects who requested more time or information.
- Pipeline Guidance: Answer baseline questions and seamlessly guide interested decision makers to the company website to complete their purchase.
- Data Logging & Feedback: Keep simple, clean notes on call outcomes and provide regular feedback to management on prospect responses.
- Proven experience in Cold Calling, Telesales, or Outbound Lead Generation.
- Exceptional verbal communication skills with a highly professional, confident, and warm telephone manner.
- Experience or high comfort level navigating gatekeepers and speaking with senior decision makers (experience in the education sector is advantageous but not essential).
- Highly disciplined and able to work completely independently.
- Ability to maintain organized, clear, and simple tracking notes.
- Email Management (Gmail or Outlook for basic follow ups).
- Comfortable using the Dial Master calling application and the Runo Call CRM system.
- Maximum Flexibility: Choose your own working hours within the school business day.
- Short weekly commitment, ideal for an experienced freelance VA looking to fill a small gap in their portfolio.
- Straightforward workflow with clear definition of success.
