About us

We are a growing home care company serving older adults and families in New Jersey. We are looking for a smart, organized, and confident caller to help us with top-of-funnel outreach to referral-source organizations such as senior communities, elder law / estate planning offices, care managers, and selected senior living organizations.

This is not a full-cycle sales role and not a field sales job. This role is focused on outbound calls, contact discovery, appointment setting, and CRM follow-through. You will help us open doors and schedule introductions; the owner will lead the actual relationship-building and follow-up meetings.

Success in this role means consistently identifying the right contacts, keeping clean outreach records, and helping generate qualified intro meetings.

What you’ll do

• Make outbound calls to prebuilt target lists of organizations and professionals
• Identify the right contact person for referral or partnership conversations
• Briefly introduce our company in a clear, professional way
• Schedule introductory calls or meetings for the owner
• Keep accurate notes in our outreach tracker / CRM
• Update contact records, call outcomes, and next steps
• Send light follow-up communication when appropriate

What you will not be responsible for

• Closing sales
• Meeting revenue quotas
• Conducting in-person networking
• Owning referral relationships end-to-end
• Running marketing campaigns
• Handling patient or family intake

The kind of person who will do well here

• You are comfortable making outbound calls and speaking confidently with new people
• You know how to get past gatekeepers without sounding pushy
• You are organized and reliable
• You take clean notes and follow process
• You can handle rejection without losing energy
• You’re coachable and open to feedback
• You have a professional, friendly phone presence

Preferred experience

• SDR, BDR, inside sales, appointment setting, telemarketing, lead generation, or outbound calling experience
• Experience booking meetings or supporting a founder / owner in a small business setting is a plus
• CRM or call-tracking experience is a strong plus
• Healthcare, senior care, legal, or community-outreach experience is a plus, but not required

Schedule

• Approximately 8–12 hours per week
• Mostly weekday business hours in Eastern Time
• Flexible within agreed calling windows

Remote Work / Equipment Requirements

This is a remote role. The person hired must have access to and be comfortable using their own reliable laptop or computer, high-speed internet / Wi-Fi connection, and personal smartphone for work-related calls and communication during scheduled work hours.

This role is not eligible for reimbursement for home internet, mobile phone / wireless service, or personal equipment use, except where required by applicable law or as otherwise approved by the company.

Compensation

• $22–$28/hour depending on experience
• Additional bonus for qualified introductory meetings that are successfully scheduled and held

To apply

Please include:

• A brief note on your outbound calling or appointment-setting experience
• Any experience working in a small business or founder-led environment
• Your general weekday availability in Eastern Time
• A sentence or two on why this type of role fits you

Additional note

This is a temporary part-time role expected to run for approximately 8–9 weeks initially, with the possibility to extend if there is a strong fit and the role proves valuable.
