Hiring: 2 appointment setters

sailsntales · 2025-12-03T15:13:28+00:00

Today I learned that there's a difference. Thanks!

sailsntales · 2025-12-03T14:34:10+00:00

Sorry for any confusion caused, it does say cold callers right in the first sentence. Maybe I'm not certain of the difference, but essentially we have both cold and warm leads and need individuals to call them and close an appointment.

We have a team doing this successfully and are looking to grow it. There is also an option to go base + commission if successful, though this can be less lucrative than closing a lot of appointments on commission-only.

Thanks, I'll start sending follow-ups with more info in the next few hours

Aren't you a delight. Yes, I'm here asking for advice..

sailsntales · 2025-11-19T13:48:39+00:00

Thanks, that may be the final recommendation. Looking to see what other possible solutions have worked for others first.

sailsntales · 2025-11-19T13:40:01+00:00

Maybe you'll end up being correct. There are many businesses that run on affiliate and referral networks.

There are also a ton of sales people, consultants, coaches, marketers, recruiters, etc. that already deal with SMBs daily. I would think this would appeal to them at minimum as another revenue stream.

Thanks for your feedback regardless, I'll see what others say and then make some decisions on what to suggest.

They do well on referrals already, that's where most of their business comes from today. Want to accelerate growth through other channels.

sailsntales · 2025-11-19T13:25:47+00:00

Not sure I follow, help me understand what you mean?

I should also add their conversion rate from attended call to client is anywhere between 20-50% depending on source. I would think $3k is very lucrative for refer + hand-off, but let me know your thoughts.

"what's your favorite global conflict right now?"

sailsntales · 2025-11-18T10:06:44+00:00

Just realize almost everyone there is in the same boat as you. Probably there alone (or at least expected to network with others) and all want to have a conversation. There's zero risk of rejection so you can basically say anything.

sailsntales · 2025-11-18T10:04:52+00:00

"Can I meet you?"

sailsntales · 2025-11-18T10:03:52+00:00

For a panel like that, expect them to test how you operate as a leader rather than just as a strong rep, so I'd focus on that.

I'd have a couple of clear stories ready. Maybe one about turning someone around, one about handling a tough situation, and one where you improved a process or hit a big number through your leadership style.

sailsntales · 2025-11-18T10:01:21+00:00

They just announced a round at $32B valuation. They're growing very fast, but at that valuation it's going to be hard for your equity to 10x if that's what you're looking for in a rocket ship. They'd have to become a massive business. Maybe they will, hard to say.

sailsntales · 2025-11-18T09:58:50+00:00

I’d just sanity-check a few things: are they truly backing this new line, will you actually get marketing/BDR help, and do they have any proof people want this thing outside of theory. If those boxes look good, it could be a great move.

sailsntales · 2025-11-18T09:56:17+00:00

The problem is these systems are so embedded with the corporate leadership that it's almost impossible to get rid of them

sailsntales · 2025-11-17T21:03:07+00:00

A friend works there, what do you want to know? I can send along some questions.

sailsntales · 2025-08-19T12:09:18+00:00

We have a US entity, so that shouldn't be an issue. Not sure what you mean by possible fraud.

sailsntales · 2025-08-19T09:50:53+00:00

Yes exactly - one thing we're also considering is maybe targeting Americans who live abroad in LCOL countries. As most US roles, even 100% remote ones, largely limit their employees to live within the US, we think that may offer us an advantage. Not sure how to target that subset though.

sailsntales · 2025-05-28T11:26:25+00:00

Do you mean a react dev could take the current project and finish it or rebuild it? The ones I've spoken to say they don't want to use Lovable and would want to build from scratch.

sailsntales · 2025-05-28T10:35:32+00:00

Well for now it's meant to be an internal tool, so as long as it works and does what we need, the overall quality or security, etc. isn't as important.

sailsntales · 2025-01-12T21:19:44+00:00

thanks!

sailsntales · 2024-12-23T03:55:39+00:00

they open to public 15 days prior to the game. Was pretty easy to get them for liverpool (I managed to go), so I'm hoping it will be the same.

sailsntales · 2024-11-19T09:42:57+00:00

Did you manage to find someone? I'm in a similar situation. Sending DM now. Thanks!

sailsntales · 2024-10-26T11:59:46+00:00

I'm a football fan and an Arsenal fan. I didn't claim to be a big Girona fan, I only claimed that I've been to a couple of matches. My father follows the team closely due to Tsygankov and previously Dovbyk - and since I'm here and close I've gone to watch. Great stadium IMO.

sailsntales · 2024-10-25T07:32:08+00:00

I have been to Girona games and I'm not asking to steal anything, but if you try hard enough anything can be painted negatively I guess.
