Performance Expectations

This is a results-focused outbound lead generation role.

You will be given our target industries, offer details, outreach guidelines, and message templates. However, you must already know how to find leads, research businesses, send outreach messages, follow up, and book appointments.

You will be responsible for finding your own leads using sources such as:

Google Maps
Instagram
Business websites
Online directories
Local business searches
Appointment Goal

The minimum requirement for this role is:

5 qualified appointments per week

Appointment quality matters. We do not want rando ---------- etings, fake interest, or unqualified leads. We only want meetings with real business owners, managers, marketing directors, general managers, or decision-makers who may be a good fit for WA Media’s social media management and content creation services.

A meeting is only considered qualified if the prospect:

Has a real business
Fits our target industries
Is a decision-maker or can connect us directly to the decision-maker
Understands the meeting is about WA Media’s social media/content services
Agrees to a specific meeting time
Shows up to the meeting

Meetings that do not show up, are not a good fit, or were booked using misleading information will not count toward the weekly appointment requirement or bonus opportunities.

Pay
Starting pay is $5/hour
This role will start at 20 hours per week
There is room to increase hours and pay based on performance, reliability, quality of work, and results
We also offer multiple bonus opportunities based on qualified appointments, strong monthly performance, and closed clients

Bonus details will be discussed with selected applicants.

Schedule
Part-time to start: 20 hours per week
Preferred schedule will be discussed
We prefer someone who can work consistently Monday through Friday
Some overlap with Pacific Time is preferred, especially for communication and meeting coordination
Daily Report Required

At the end of each workday, you will submit a report with:

Hours worked
Number of new leads researched
Number of outreach messages sent
Number of follow-ups sent
Positive replies
Meetings booked
Best leads of the day
Questions or issues
Who We Are Looking For

We want someone who is consistent, honest, organized, and motivated.

This is not a spam outreach role. We care about quality. You must be able to find leads, research businesses properly, personalize messages, and only book meetings with prospects who may actually be a good fit.

You must be comfortable finding your own leads each day instead of waiting for us to provide a list.

If you do well, this can grow into a long-term role with more hours, higher pay, bonuses, and more responsibility.
