Calling Doer (Independent Contractor)
Remote | Flexible, Task-Based Opportunities | U.S.-Based Contractors
About Duckbill
Modern life is demanding, and balancing work, personal responsibilities, and social commitments can be overwhelming. Duckbill provides consumers with AI-powered assistance that helps ensure important tasks get done.
Our mission is to simplify everyday life by combining advanced technology with human expertise.
About the Opportunity
Duckbill is offering the opportunity to independent contractors interested in providing calling services to support consumer requests and growing commercial partnerships through the Duckbill platform.
You'll have the opportunity to accept individual calling tasks from consumers, focused on gathering information from businesses, vendors, and service providers.
Each available task outlines a specific objective, the information requested, and the expected deliverable from the requesting consumer. Contractors determine how to approach and conduct accepted tasks using their own judgment and communication skills.
This is a flexible, task-based independent contractor opportunity, not an employment position.
Examples of Calling Tasks
Available tasks may involve:
- Contacting businesses, vendors, or service providers to obtain requested information
- Confirming availability, pricing, policies, or service details
- Asking relevant follow-up questions to clarify or verify information
Contractors use their own professional judgment to navigate conversations and determine an appropriate approach to completing each accepted task.
Tasks are evaluated based on the accuracy, completeness, and quality of the requested deliverables, rather than adherence to a prescribed calling script or method.
Qualifications
Successful independent professionals will have the following skills:
- Strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills
- Confidence conducting cold calls with unfamiliar businesses
- Excellent listening skills and attention to detail
- The ability to gather, verify, and accurately document information
- Resourcefulness when navigating phone menus, representatives, or incomplete information
- Comfort using web-based tools and technology
- The ability to independently manage accepted tasks
- Access to an environment and equipment suitable for clear, professional phone conversations
Prior experience in cold calling, customer service, sales, appointment setting, or administrative services may be helpful but is not required.
