ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
A fast-growing US-based solar lead generation business is expanding its offshore sales and appointment-setting team and is seeking a confident, energetic, and experienced SDR / Appointment Setter to support US operations remotely from South Africa.
This business operates within a high-volume, fast-paced sales environment where speed-to-lead, professionalism, and customer engagement are critical to success.
This is a phone-heavy outbound and inbound appointment-setting role focused on engaging homeowners who have submitted interest in solar online. The successful candidate will qualify prospects, handle basic objections, and book qualified appointments directly into the CRM.
When inbound lead flow slows down, the role will shift toward outbound follow-up activities, including re-engaging aged homeowner databases and following up with no-show appointments.
The ideal candidate is warm, articulate, resilient, and highly comfortable speaking with US-based customers throughout the day.
