US Appointment Setter

📍 South Africa (Remote) | Full-Time | US Appointment Setter

Placed by Scaled – connecting top South African talent with world-class global companies

Are you a confident communicator who thrives on the phone, enjoys building relationships, and knows how to turn cold conversations into qualified meetings?

We're hiring on behalf of a fast-growing US-focused business looking for an experienced Appointment Setter to join their remote team.

You'll be responsible for speaking with US businesses and decision-makers, qualifying potential partners, and booking high-quality meetings for the Partnership Manager.

This is a target-driven role for someone who enjoys sales, takes ownership of their numbers, and is comfortable working US business hours from South Africa.

🎯 The Opportunity

This is a hands-on appointment-setting role where you'll be at the front of the business development process.

You'll spend your day connecting with US businesses, introducing the company, understanding whether there's a potential fit, handling objections, and booking qualified meetings for the Partnership Manager.

You'll need to be confident on the phone, resilient when faced with rejection, and highly consistent when it comes to activity and follow-through.

If you're someone who enjoys the challenge of turning a cold call into a genuine sales opportunity, you'll feel at home here.

🛠️ What You'll Be Doing

You'll own the day-to-day appointment-setting process and help create a consistent pipeline of qualified meetings.

• Cold-call prospective US businesses and speak directly with owners, executives and key decision-makers.
• Introduce the company and clearly communicate the value of its offering.
• Qualify prospects and determine whether they meet the required criteria.
• Book qualified meetings for the US-based Partnership Manager.
• Confirm appointments and follow up with prospects to maximise attendance.
• Reschedule missed or cancelled appointments where appropriate.
• Maintain accurate CRM records and ensure all prospect information is up to date.
• Consistently work towards weekly and monthly booking targets.
• Handle objections confidently and professionally throughout conversations.
• Identify opportunities to improve call quality, conversion rates and overall appointment-setting performance.

🧠 What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will:

• Have at least 2 years of proven US appointment-setting experience.
• Have a strong track record of cold-calling US businesses and achieving appointment-setting targets.
• Be exceptionally confident and professional on the phone.
• Have excellent spoken and written English.
• Be comfortable handling objections and navigating conversations with senior decision-makers.
• Have experience using CRM and calendar systems.
• Be highly organised, reliable and able to work independently.
• Be comfortable working a full shift aligned with US business hours.
• Have a reliable laptop or desktop, stable high-speed internet, backup connectivity and backup power.
• Have a professional headset and quiet home-working environment.

Experience in US business finance, commercial lending or finance brokering would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Most importantly, you need to be resilient, target-driven and genuinely comfortable spending your day on the phone.
