Cold Caller for a Real Estate Photography Business: Appointment Setter (Part Time, Long Term)

Cold Caller for a Real Estate Photography Business: Appointment Setter (Part Time, Long Term)

READ FIRST: Applications without a short video will not be reviewed. Instructions are at the bottom.

IMPORTANT: This is a real estate MEDIA business (photography, drone, video, virtual tours). It is NOT a real estate brokerage. You will not help anyone buy or sell homes, and you will not handle transactions, contracts, escrow or paperwork. If you are looking for a realtor assistant, transaction coordinator, ISA or property management role, do not apply.

ABOUT US
Real Estate PHOTO Media is a growing real estate photography and video business in Southern California. We've shot 300+ homes this year for real estate agents across the Inland Empire and Orange County, with photos, drone, video and 3D tours delivered the next day.

THE ROLE IN ONE SENTENCE
You call active real estate agents, start a real conversation, and book their next photo shoot with me.

This is calls only and outbound only. You will not send DMs, texts or email s, and you will not handle inbound inquiries.

You MUST have cold calling experience with the REPP method or Eli Jones's approach. Applicants without this experience will not be considered.

THE OFFER
Qualified agents get a free vertical video with their first paid shoot. This is the only offer you can make.

WHO QUALIFIES
An agent qualifies only if they:

• Work in Riverside County (Inland Empire) or Orange County
• Have at least 5 listings in the last 12 months, confirmed on their ---------- agent profile
• Are booking a residential listing (house, condo or townhome)

Do not call, offer the free video to, or book anyone who does not meet all three.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

1. Build the Call List

• Use ---------- to find agents who qualify
• Add every agent to a Google Sheet: name, phone, brokerage, city, listings in the last 12 months

2. Cold Calls

• Make 60 to 100 dials per shift using my script
• Use a pattern interrupt opener, qualify in 30 seconds, then book or move on
• Ask about their upcoming listings
• Handle common objections naturally using my approved responses
• Log every dial in the Google Sheet: date called, outcome, follow up date
• Call agents back on a 60 to 90 day cycle if they said not now

3. Booking in Spiro

• When an agent is ready to book, collect the property address, square footage, date and email
• Book the shoot in Spiro yourself using my standard package pricing, with the free vertical video added. Never send the agent a booking link
• Double check every booking: correct address, date, package and add-ons
• Send me every booking on WhatsApp right away so I can confirm my schedule
• Never offer discounts or anything besides the free vertical video

4. Daily Reports

• Start of day WhatsApp message at the start of your shift
• End of day WhatsApp message with counts: agents added, dials, conversations, follow ups set, shoots booked
• Weekly 15 minute video check in

WORK RULES

• Start and end at your agreed time every day
• Clock in and out using the time tracker I provide. It only runs while you are clocked in
• All daily tasks must be complete before you clock out
• Only do the tasks listed here. If you think something else needs doing, ask me first
• Only bill for time you actually worked
• Follow my script, but sound like a real person. Never aggressive, pushy or robotic
• Never ask an agent who their current photographer is
• Only call from the phone number I provide
• Dial every number by hand. No auto-dialers
• If anyone asks not to be called, mark them in the sheet and never call them again
• Send me any pricing questions outside my standard packages, commercial properties or complaints on WhatsApp within 1 hour

REQUIREMENTS

• Required: cold calling experience using the REPP method or Eli Jones's approach
• 1+ year cold calling experience for a US business (appointment setting, SDR or similar)
• Proven results: booked appointments or closed sales from cold calls
• Excellent spoken English with a clear, neutral accent that Americans understand on the first try
• Friendly, confident and upbeat. Agents can hear you smiling
• Comfortable with rejection. Most calls will be a no, and you move on with a good attitude
• Must learn and use Spiro to book every shoot. I will train you during your first week. Spiro experience is a big plus
• Follows scripts and instructions exactly and asks when unsure
• USB headset with a noise cancelling microphone (no laptop mic or Bluetooth earbuds)
• Quiet room during your shift
• Stable internet plus a backup connection (mobile hotspot) and backup power
• WhatsApp for daily communication

NICE TO HAVE

• Cold calling experience in real estate, mortgage, insurance or home services
• Has closed B2B services on cold calls, not just set appointments

SCHEDULE
20 hours per week, Monday to Friday. 4 hours per shift between 8am and 4pm Pacific Time. Keep the same shift every day.

PAY
$6 per hour USD, plus a $10 bonus per completed shoot. Paid weekly via Wise. The first week is a paid trial.

HOW THE BONUS WORKS
When you book a qualified agent who has never worked with me before, that agent is yours for 90 days. You earn $10 for every completed, paid shoot they book with me during those 90 days, not just the first one. If your agent books 4 shoots in 90 days, you earn $40 from that one agent.

GROWTH
This is long-term work with a growing business. Hours increase in spring, and this role can grow into a full-time position as the business grows.

HOW TO APPLY
1. Record a 60 to 90 second video with your face on camera (use your headset if you have one). Start by saying:
"Hi Abidur, I'm applying for the cold calling role at Vista Media Homes."
Then introduce yourself and your cold calling experience, including any REPP or Eli Jones work and your results. Then read this out loud like you're on a real call:
"Hi Jessica, this is [your name] calling for Vista Media Homes. I saw your new listing on Oak Street, nice home. I help agents in the Inland Empire and Orange County get their listings shot with photos, drone and video, delivered the next day. Do you have a quick minute?"

2. Upload it to Loom, Google Drive or unlisted YouTube, and make sure anyone with the link can view it.

3. In your application, include:

• The words "VISTA CALLS" at the top of your message so I know you read the whole post
• Your video link
• Your other cold calling experience: company names, how long, what you sold and your daily dial volume
• What booking system or CRM you have used, and whether you have used Spiro
• A screenshot of a speed test from this week, plus your backup internet and power
• Your headset brand and model

Applications without a video, or that skip a step, will not be reviewed.
