Temporary Part Time- Outbound Sales Rep

Part-Time Outbound Sales Representative NeighborlyBuzz Remote $15/hour Up to 20 hours per week Initial 2 to 3 week paid contract Potential for ongoing work, increased compensation, and commission based on results Website: https://www.neighborlybuzz.com/ Job Overview NeighborlyBuzz is looking for a confident, motivated, and resourceful person to help us introduce our resident communication platform to apartment communities and property management companies. This position will begin as a 2 to 3 week paid sales pilot, but we are not necessarily looking for someone for only a few weeks. If you are able to consistently reach property management decision-makers, generate interest, get prospects looking at the product, book qualified conversations, and help bring in customers, there is real opportunity for this role to continue and grow. For the right person, that could eventually include additional hours, increased base compensation, commission, performance bonuses, and additional responsibility as NeighborlyBuzz grows. About NeighborlyBuzz NeighborlyBuzz helps apartment communities create better resident communication without requiring residents to download another app or forcing property teams to replace the systems they already use. We provide properties with ready-to-customize resident newsletters that can include: • Property announcements • Local events • Polls and surveys • Photo submissions • Community resources • Resident activities • Important property links • Other useful resident content Property teams can make any changes they want, publish the newsletter, and share one link through the communication tools they already use. The product is built and ready to sell. Our focus now is getting it in front of property managers and growing our customer base. What You Will Be Doing Your main job is simple: Get NeighborlyBuzz in front of the right people. You will contact apartment communities and property management companies and work to reach people such as: • Property Managers • Community Managers • Regional Property Managers • Regional Managers • Marketing Managers • Other property management decision-makers We have already done much of the prospecting work. You will be provided with researched prospect lists, property information, decision-maker names, contact information, sales materials, and in many cases a personalized NeighborlyBuzz page that has already been created specifically for the property you are calling. That means you may be able to tell a Property Manager: “We actually put together an example specifically for your property. I can send it to you right now if you have a minute to take a look.” Your job is to create that conversation and move the prospect forward. This Is Not Just a Call-Volume Position We are not looking for someone who simply makes a large number of calls and checks them off a list. We want someone who is professionally persistent. If you call an apartment community and a leasing agent says: “The Property Manager is busy. Just send something to our general email.” your instinct should not automatically be: “Okay, thanks.” Instead, we want someone comfortable politely continuing the conversation. Who is the right person? When is normally the best time to reach them? Can you speak with them for two minutes? Can you send the personalized example directly to them? Can you call back at a better time? Is there another decision-maker you should speak with? There is obviously a point where no means no, and we always want prospects treated professionally and respectfully. But successful outbound sales often requires getting past the first easy brush-off. We need someone who is persistent, personable, confident, and comfortable asking for the conversation. Responsibilities • Make outbound calls to apartment communities and property management companies • Navigate gatekeepers and reach actual decision-makers • Introduce NeighborlyBuzz naturally and confidently • Send personalized property examples to prospects • Follow up with interested prospects • Ask good questions and identify prospect pain points • Handle basic objections professionally • Move interested prospects toward trying NeighborlyBuzz • Schedule calls with the founder when a deeper product discussion is appropriate • Help close straightforward opportunities when possible • Maintain accurate notes about calls and follow-ups • Track prospect interest and next steps • Share feedback about objections and patterns you are hearing from the market • Help us improve the outbound sales process as we learn what works Who We Are Looking For Sales experience is great, but it is not required. If you know you can communicate, build rapport, handle rejection, stay persistent, and sell, we want you to apply. You may be a great fit if you are: • Confident talking to strangers on the phone • Naturally persuasive and personable • Comfortable asking for decision-makers • Professionally persistent without being aggressive • Able to think on your feet instead of relying completely on a script • Comfortable hearing “no” and continuing to work • A strong communicator • Self-motivated • Resourceful • Organized with follow-ups • Comfortable working independently • Willing to learn a software product well enough to explain it naturally • Able to accept feedback and quickly improve your approach • Excited about helping an early-stage company grow Previous experience in B2B sales, cold calling, appointment setting, SaaS sales, property management, multifamily, leasing, business development, or customer-facing roles is a plus, but not a requirement. If you can sell, apply. Equipment and Work Requirements Because this is a remote position, you must have: • Your own reliable computer • Reliable high-speed internet • A quiet place to make professional business calls • A quality headset, microphone, or calling setup with clear audio • Reliable availability during normal U.S. business hours • The ability to work primarily during Central Time business hours NeighborlyBuzz will provide the calling tools, product training, prospect information, sales materials, and personalized prospect pages needed for the campaign. Compensation and Growth Opportunity Starting pay: $15/hour Hours: Up to 20 hours per week Initial term: 2 to 3 weeks This initial period is designed to determine whether our outbound sales strategy is gaining traction and whether we are a good fit working together. This does not have to end after three weeks. If you are producing results, creating conversations, getting property managers interested, booking qualified calls, and helping us bring in customers, we would like to continue working with you. For someone who proves they can sell NeighborlyBuzz, there is room for: • Continued part-time work • Increased hours • Increased base compensation • Sales commission • Performance bonuses • Greater responsibility • A longer-term sales role as the company grows We would much rather find someone great and keep them than continuously hire temporary callers. How to Apply Please send a short introduction explaining why you think you would be good at this role. If you have sales or cold-calling experience, tell us about it. If you do not have formal sales experience but believe you are confident, persuasive, persistent, and good with people, tell us why you think you would succeed. Please also answer this question in your application: You call an apartment community and the leasing agent says, “The Property Manager is busy. Just send something to our general email.” What would you say next? We are much more interested in how you think, communicate, and handle situations than in having a perfect resume.
