permit lead qualifier / outbound appointment setter for construction leads

we run a u.s.-based contractor lead generation business focused on real construction permits and active property owners.

this is not random cold calling and this is not a high-pressure sales role.

you will be calling property owners connected to recent construction permits and finding out:
- whether the project is real and active
- whether they already have a contractor
- whether they are still comparing options
- whether they are open to a quick intro to a licensed contractor

your job is not to close deals.
your job is to qualify interest, book the intro, and log the call correctly.

this role is for someone who:
- sounds calm and natural on the phone
- follows instructions exactly
- can ask short questions without overselling
- can keep notes clean and organized
- can handle rejection without sounding emotional or desperate

if you are the type of caller who talks too much, improvises your own pitch, or pressures people, this is not the role for you.

your responsibilities:
- make outbound calls to permit-based homeowner leads
- use our script exactly as written
- confirm project status and contractor status
- qualify interest and timing
- book callbacks or intros when appropriate
- update crm or spreadsheet notes after every call
- tag lead outcomes correctly
- send a short end-of-day report with numbers and notes
- flag hot leads immediately

what success looks like:
- calm, professional calls
- accurate notes after every conversation
- correct tagging of lead status
- consistent daily activity
- booked intros with real project owners
- no pressure selling

required experience:
- outbound calling, appointment setting, lead qualification, or real estate cold calling
- strong spoken english
- reliable internet and quiet working environment
- able to work during u.s. business hours
- comfortable using a crm, dialer, or spreadsheet tracker
- able to follow a script exactly
- able to keep notes clean and short

bonus points if you have experience with:
- real estate isa work
- homeowner or seller calling
- contractor or home services leads
- dialers like mojo, vici, calltools, readymode, five9, batch dialer
- crms like hubspot, go high level, podio, salesforce
- sms follow-up or voicemail follow-up
- light lead research or data cleanup

growth path:
if you perform well, your role may expand into:
- callback follow-up
- sms follow-up
- voicemail follow-up
- old lead reactivation
- light lead research
- crm cleanup and pipeline support

important:
we do not hire from resumes alone.
we hire based on communication, discipline, note-taking, and how well you follow instructions.
