Appointment Setter

Appointment Setter — Group Travel (US calls, part-time)
We are a small US travel company in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We help churches, dance studios, youth sports clubs and similar community organizations put their families on a group cruise together.

We need a warm, clear-speaking appointment setter to call these organizations from a list we provide and book a short intro call on our calendar.

You are not selling anything. You cannot and must not quote prices or describe what a cruise includes — that is a legal line in our industry, not a preference. Your entire job is to reach the right person, deliver a short friendly hook, and book a 15-minute call with Stephen.

What you will do

• Call churches, dance and gymnastics studios, and youth sports clubs across the southeastern US during their business hours, using a script we provide.
• Get past a receptionist politely and find the person who organizes trips.
• Book interested people directly onto our calendar while you have them on the phone.
• Log every call outcome in our system — one click, seven options, no spreadsheets.
• Honor a do-not-call request immediately and permanently, every single time.

What you will use
We provide the phone system. You dial from a browser — no phone line, no personal number, and your own number is never shown.

All calls are recorded and transcribed. We use them to improve the script and to coach. If that is not something you are comfortable with, this is not the right role.

You will need: Google Chrome, a wired headset with a microphone, a quiet room, and reliable internet.

You are a great fit if

• Your spoken English is clear, warm and natural to a US listener. This matters more than anything else on this list. You will be calling church offices and small studios in small towns. People need to feel comfortable in the first five seconds.
• You have done B2B cold calling or appointment setting before, and you can talk about it.
• You are comfortable being friendly to a receptionist rather than trying to get around them. At a church, the person who answers the phone usually knows exactly who you need.
• You follow a script exactly and do not improvise. When someone asks "how much does it cost?", the answer is always to hand it to Stephen. Getting creative here is the one mistake that ends the job.
• You stay upbeat after a lot of "no." A good day here is one booked meeting. That is normal and expected, not failure.
• You can work at least 3 hours a day inside 9:00am–6:00pm US Eastern. Churches answer in the morning, studios and sports clubs answer late afternoon, so some flexibility across the day is genuinely useful. Tell us your timezone and your realistic hours.

Compensation:

• $5 per hour base.
• $5 for every meeting you book.

The split is deliberate. Booking a meeting with a wrong email address helps nobody, so you are paid more when the person actually shows up.

To apply, do all four. We skip applications that miss any of them.
1. Start your reply with the word SHORELINE so we know you read this.
2. In three sentences, describe a calling campaign you have run and one real result you got.
3. A prospect asks you: "Okay, how much would this cost us?" Write the exact words you would say back. (There is a right answer and it is not a number.)
4. Include a link to a 60-second voice recording — Vocaroo, Google Drive, anything — of you reading this in your natural phone voice:

"Hi, is this the church office? Great. My name is Alex, I'm calling on behalf of Stephen OLeary at Best Life Destinations here in Chattanooga. We work with churches that travel together — retreats, fellowship trips, senior adult trips, that kind of thing. Who handles trips like that for you?"

We read every application that follows these four steps. Thank you.
