Success in this role comes from proactively creating opportunities through cold calling, cold emailing, and LinkedIn outreach - not waiting for inbound leads.

If you’re competitive, resilient, and thrive on opening doors with decision-makers, this role offers significant growth potential within a fast-growing marketing agency serving the home services industry.

What Happens After You Apply

After submitting your application, you’ll receive an email invitation from Spark Hire to record a short 3–5 minute Intro Video. This is the first step in our hiring process and can be completed whenever it’s convenient for you.

Instead of multiple initial screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself, discuss your outbound sales experience, and explain how you’ve built prospect lists, handled cold calling, managed objection handling, and consistently booked qualified meetings. You’ll also have the opportunity to highlight your outbound performance metrics, CRM experience, and ability to work independently in a target-driven environment. Your video will be reviewed by the hiring team before moving to the client interview.

You can record your video as many times as you’d like before submitting it - only your final version will be reviewed.

Please keep an eye on both your inbox and spam folder for your Spark Hire invitation after applying.

If you’re passionate about outbound sales, enjoy creating opportunities from scratch, and thrive in a performance-driven environment, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and help drive business growth through high-quality outbound prospecting and lead generation.
