The Appointment Setter/ Follow Up Specialist is responsible for being the first point of contact for homeowners who have expressed interest in selling their property.
This is not a cold-calling role. You will work primarily with warm inbound leads generated through our marketing efforts.
Your primary responsibility is to quickly connect with new leads, build rapport, understand the homeowner's situation and motivation, qualify the opportunity, and schedule high-quality appointments for our Acquisition Specialists.
Not every homeowner is ready to sell immediately. A major part of this position is maintaining consistent, professional follow-up with active and older leads until the timing is right.
This is an entry point into our sales organization with a clear path to becoming an Acquisition Specialist/Closer and earning six figures. We are looking for individuals who want to master our sales process, consistently exceed expectations, and earn additional responsibility based on performance.
