Hire an outbound sales rep

An outbound rep lives on the phone. The job is to make a cold call sound like a warm one, keep a prospect engaged past the first thirty seconds, and book a next step with a buyer who wasn't expecting to say yes.

It's a volume role with a craft in it. We recruit for the craft.
