Freelance B2B Appointment Setter – Commercial Finance

Remote | Freelance / Self-Employed | Approx. 10 Hours Per Week

£18 per hour + appointment & performance bonuses

Meridan Finance is a UK commercial finance brokerage helping businesses access funding for vehicles, machinery, equipment, property and general business purposes.

We're looking for an experienced, confident and personable B2B appointment setter / telemarketer to help us generate new business opportunities.

This is initially a small freelance role of approximately 10 hours per week, with the potential to increase considerably if the campaign performs well.

What you'll be doing

You'll be provided with targeted lists of UK businesses to contact.

Your role will be to:

Make outbound calls to UK businesses.
Speak with business owners, directors and relevant decision-makers.
Establish whether they have any current or upcoming funding requirements.
Identify planned vehicle, machinery or equipment purchases.
Identify potential refinancing or other commercial funding opportunities.
Qualify interested prospects.
Book qualified telephone appointments directly into our Director's diary.
Record call outcomes and future opportunities accurately.
Schedule prospects for future follow-up where appropriate.

You will NOT be expected to provide financial advice, quote finance rates or sell financial products.

Once an opportunity has been identified, one of our experienced commercial finance brokers will take over.

What we're looking for

Ideally, you'll have previous experience in:

B2B cold calling
Appointment setting
Telesales
Lead generation
Business development

Previous experience within commercial finance, asset finance, banking, insurance, accountancy, vehicle finance or another B2B professional service would be particularly valuable.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who:

Is confident speaking to UK business owners.
Has excellent spoken English and a professional telephone manner.
Sounds natural rather than simply reading from a script.
Is comfortable getting past gatekeepers.
Can handle rejection and remain motivated.
Understands the difference between a genuine opportunity and simply booking an appointment.
Is organised and able to accurately record call outcomes.

Initially approximately 10 hours per week.

We're flexible about when these hours are worked, provided calls are made during appropriate UK business hours.

This could increase substantially if the initial campaign proves successful.

Remuneration

£18 per hour

Plus:

£25 for each qualified appointment that takes place

£100 bonus for the first successfully funded transaction resulting directly from your introduction

We're interested in building a long-term relationship with the right person rather than simply running a short-term calling campaign.

What we'll provide
Targeted prospect databases
Calling script/framework
Meridan Finance email address
Telephone/VoIP system
CRM/tracking system
Training on our products and target customers
Direct access to the company Director for questions and feedback
To apply

Please send us:

A brief summary of your B2B telephone experience.
Examples of previous appointment-setting campaigns you've worked on.
Industries you've previously called into.
Your usual number of calls/conversations per hour.
Your current hourly rate.
Your weekly availability.
Any previous experience within commercial finance or financial services.

Please also include a short voice recording introducing yourself as though you were making an initial call to a UK business owner.

We're particularly interested in experienced UK-based freelance telemarketers who already work independently with B2B clients.
