Freelance Lead Generator

Company Description FIKIR-ISH is an elite Educational & Publishing House and Corporate Training Hub based in Istanbul, Turkey, specializing in tailored, high-impact learning interventions and consulting. The organization focuses on diagnosing specific organizational needs and designing custom training programs rather than offering generic, off-the-shelf courses. Using a structured 6-step methodology, FIKIR-ISH aligns with leadership goals, assesses performance gaps, and delivers targeted training with global subject matter experts, followed by impact measurement and continuous support. Core disciplines include business and management, technology and digital, marketing and growth, and specialized programs in educational tourism such as executive retreats, youth STEM camps, and EdTech bootcamps. This environment offers exposure to international clients, sovereign delegations, and cutting-edge STEM and digital transformation initiatives.
Role Description The Freelance Lead Generator is a part-time, remote role responsible for identifying and qualifying potential clients for FIKIR-ISH’s training, consulting, and educational tourism offerings. Day-to-day tasks include researching target markets and organizations, compiling prospect lists, and initiating contact via email, social media, and professional networks. The role involves nurturing leads through clear communication, sharing relevant information about FIKIR-ISH’s programs, and scheduling discovery calls or meetings for the core team. The Lead Generator will maintain accurate records in CRM or tracking tools, provide regular updates on lead status and pipeline progress, and collaborate with marketing and business development to refine outreach strategies. This position requires a proactive, self-managed approach and the ability to work across diverse regions and cultures.
