Sales Development Representative (Cold Caller / Appointment Setter for US Home & Professional Services - Remote, Remote Job

About Ignitvio

Ignitvio helps home and professional services businesses in the US stop losing money to missed calls and slow follow up. We build AI receptionists, lead response systems, and outbound engines for roofing, HVAC, dental, veterinary, insurance, and other home and professional services companies. We are a small, fast moving team and you will work directly with the founder.

The role

This is a phone first role. You will call home and professional services businesses in the US, get owners and decision makers on the phone, handle the "I'm not interested," and book them into qualified meetings with our team. We hand you researched leads from our own systems, so you are not dialing random lists. You are calling businesses we already know are a good fit. We close the deals. You fill the calendar.

You will do well here if you have done real outbound before, you can take 30 nos and keep your energy on dial 31, and you can hold a conversation with a busy business owner without sounding like a script.

What you will do

  • Call US home and professional services businesses from our researched lead lists

  • Get owners and decision makers on the phone

  • Handle objections, hold the line, and book qualified meetings

  • Confirm and remind so booked meetings actually happen

  • Log all calls and outcomes in our CRM

  • Hit your daily dial and booking targets

What we need from you

  • Real cold calling or phone sales experience, US prospects preferred

  • Near native spoken English that is clear and easy to understand on a phone

  • A quiet place to make calls with reliable internet and backup power

  • Ability to work US business hours

  • World class objection handling skills (I will test this in your interview)

  • Must know how to handle gate keepers

  • Someone who manages their own day and hits their numbers without anyone watching

What you get

  • A strong monthly base salary plus uncapped bonuses. I personally wrote the compensation plan so you can hit $10k plus in a month if you deliver enough qualified meetings

  • Pay for every qualified meeting you book, every meeting that shows, and every deal that closes from your meetings

  • Top performers earn well above the local market for this kind of work, with no ceiling

  • World class training on the offer and the script (I am former top 1% sales rep at 4 separate companies and a sales manager for Oracle - one the biggest software companies in the world). You bring the energy and the consistency

  • A short video is required

  • Follow the application instructions carefully

  • Applications without a video will not be reviewed
