UK B2B Caller – Specialist Transport Prospecting

ONEXO Transport Ltd is a small specialist commercial transport business based near Corby, Northamptonshire.
We operate a specialist flatbed delivery lorry with its own onboard crane, commonly known as a HIAB. This allows us to collect commercial goods and unload them at construction, utility, infrastructure and industrial sites where there may be no forklift or other unloading equipment available.
We can also provide direct, dedicated flatbed transport for suitable commercial loads that do not require crane offload.
I am looking for an experienced UK-based B2B telephone caller or appointment setter for a small, tightly controlled paid pilot.
I will provide a prioritised list of approximately 30 carefully researched UK prospects. These include:
• Manufacturers and suppliers of utility and infrastructure equipment.
• Companies supplying equipment to water, gas, highways, power and similar projects.
• Civil-engineering and infrastructure contractors.
• Freight forwarders and transport/logistics companies that may require specialist subcontract or overflow capacity.
The freelancer should work through as many companies as can be properly contacted and recorded during the agreed three working hours. The focus is on genuine conversations and useful commercial information rather than achieving an artificial call-volume target.
The work will involve:
• Attending a short briefing about ONEXO and the types of companies being contacted.
• Calling prospects during UK business hours.
• Asking reception for the person responsible for external transport, logistics, operations, procurement or specialist site deliveries.
• Identifying the correct decision-maker where possible.
• Establishing whether the company uses outside transport providers.
• Finding out whether they ever need goods delivered to sites where there is no forklift or unloading equipment.
• Establishing whether they require occasional, overflow, urgent or short-notice specialist transport.
• Asking whether they would consider ONEXO as an additional transport supplier.
• Arranging a specific conversation or callback with the owner when a genuine opportunity exists.
• Recording meaningful call notes, names, outcomes and agreed next actions in the supplied tracker.
This is NOT a contact-list-building, bulk-email, automated LinkedIn or general digital-marketing project.
The prospect list and initial research will be supplied. The freelancer’s principal job is to make genuine outbound telephone calls.
The freelancer will not be expected to quote transport jobs, answer detailed technical questions or close contracts. Questions regarding weights, dimensions, lifting arrangements, site access, availability or pricing must be referred to the owner.
A qualified opportunity means:
• The correct transport or operations decision-maker has been reached.
• The company uses or would consider outside commercial transport providers.
• A credible specialist crane-offload or dedicated-flatbed requirement exists.
• They are open to considering an additional supplier.
• A specific callback or further conversation with the owner has been agreed.
An email address, brochure request or vague request to “send something over” will not be treated as a qualified appointment.
Requirements:
• You must be based in the UK and personally make the calls yourself.
• You must have a natural, professional and non-aggressive telephone manner.
• Previous B2B telephone prospecting experience is essential.
• Experience with transport, logistics, manufacturing, engineering, utilities, infrastructure or construction would be strongly preferred.
• You must have your own reliable UK telephone setup, with call charges included.
• You must keep accurate and meaningful call records.
• All activity must comply with applicable UK data-protection and TPS/CTPS requirements.
The initial fixed-price pilot covers three genuine working hours, including the briefing, telephone activity and completion of the supplied call tracker.
The budget is £90. Any additional work would be offered separately after reviewing the pilot. There is no retainer or automatic renewal.
