To thrive as a Part Time Telemarketer, you need strong communication skills, persuasive abilities, and basic computer literacy, typically with a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with customer relationship management (CRM) software, auto-dialers, and call scripting tools is often required.

What are part time telemarketers?

Part time telemarketers are professionals who contact potential or existing customers by phone to promote products, services, or gather information, but work less than full-time hours—often evenings or weekends. Their main duties include making outbound calls, following scripts, answering questions, and recording customer responses. They may work for call centers, marketing agencies, or directly for companies looking to expand their customer base. Part time telemarketing roles are popular for those seeking flexible work schedules or supplemental income.

What are some common challenges faced by part-time telemarketers, and how can they be managed?

Part-time telemarketers often encounter challenges such as handling rejection, maintaining motivation during repetitive tasks, and meeting call quotas within limited working hours. Effective strategies include developing resilience, using scripts as guides rather than rigid instructions, and seeking regular feedback from supervisors. Many teams offer ongoing training, supportive peer networks, and incentives to help telemarketers stay engaged and improve their performance. Collaborating closely with team leads and participating in regular check-ins can also make the work environment more collaborative and supportive.

We're proud of our award-winning media brands – they reach millions of readers in nearly every state and help great businesses connect with ideal clients – but we're even more proud to provide supportive and fulfilling remote work opportunities for our people.

About The Role

As our new Part-Time Appointment Setter, you'll play a key role in launching new corporate publications and helping drive their success from day one. In this fast-paced, high-volume role, you'll connect with B2B prospects through outbound cold calls, introduce them to our newest publication opportunities, and spark interest with potential advertisers.

Your primary focus will be to identify qualified prospects, confirm they're a good fit, and schedule high-quality appointments for our Sales Guardians to close. If you're energized by making connections, thrive in a goal-oriented environment, and enjoy the excitement of opening new doors, this is a great opportunity to make an immediate impact.

This is a fully remote part-time position working up to 28 hours per week. Interviews will be conducted via phone and video call. The pay rate is $15 per hour, plus performance-based bonuses for scheduled appointments and closed sales, with opportunities for growth and advancement.

  • Make high-volume outbound calls to introduce prospective B2B clients to our new corporate publication opportunities.
  • Deliver engaging sales pitches, qualify prospects, and generate interest in new publication launches.
  • Schedule qualified appointments for our Sales Guardians to ensure accurate calendars and smooth handoffs.
  • Consistently meet or exceed outbound calling and appointment-setting goals.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records of prospect interactions, appointments, and sales activity.

  • Experience with high-volume B2B outbound cold calling and a passion for connecting with prospects by phone.
  • Resilient, motivated, and energized by achieving activity and appointment-setting goals.
  • Strong verbal communication skills, with the ability to quickly build interest and communicate value.
  • Skilled at qualifying prospects to identify high-quality opportunities for the sales team.
  • Highly organized, with strong attention to detail and accurate CRM documentation.
  • Able to follow established processes, quality standards, and lead management guidelines consistently.
  • Experience using CRM and sales tools such as HubSpot, Outreach, or similar dialer and cadence platforms.
  • Comfortable managing scheduling tools like Calendly and Google Calendar.
  • Familiar with communication and productivity tools, including Slack and Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets).

Skills and Qualities That Set You Apart:

  • 1+ years of experience in high-volume cold calling, telemarketing, or appointment setting.
  • Proven ability to meet activity goals and sales targets with measurable results.
  • Motivated by a goal-oriented, bonus-driven environment and earning potential.
  • Experience connecting with and scheduling meetings for local business owners or SMB decision-makers.
  • Familiarity with media, advertising, print, digital, or local sponsorship sales is a plus.
  • Experience supporting sales teams by providing qualified leads and ensuring smooth meeting handoffs.
  • Comfortable working remotely in a performance-driven environment with KPIs and quality standards.
Benefits Designed with You in MindHealth & Wellness
  • Access to a licensed nutritionist to support your health and wellness goals.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with complimentary mental health resources and additional support services.
Financial Security
  • 401(k) plan with a company match to help secure your financial future.
  • Financial planning services to guide you in achieving your financial goals.
Additional Benefits
  • Pet care insurance and discounts to help support your pets' health and wellbeing.
  • The opportunity to make a difference through N2GIVES, our program dedicated to fighting human trafficking and supporting other impactful causes.
