- Strong knowledge of the roofing business, or related industries and a track record of effectively converting these calls into sales leads.
- Excellent verbal communication skills.
- Local market knowledge will be highly preferred.

The selected freelancer will be expected to make calls efficiently, professionally handling possible rejections, and successfully capturing potential customer's interest to pave the way for future sales. Please provide previous experiences in sales and cold calling when you bid.
