About this role
As a Telemarketer at Essel Skilled Trades, you will be on the front line of our business outreach efforts. Your primary responsibility will be generating new sales opportunities by initiating outbound calls to prospective companies within the construction, industrial, and skilled trades sectors. You will be introducing our staffing solutions, identifying the needs of businesses, and transitioning warm opportunities to our Account Managers to close.
This role is ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys talking to people, building professional relationships over the phone, and finding creative ways to engage decision-makers. You will be provided with targeted call lists, scripts, training, and support—however we also value individuals who take initiative, think strategically, and approach conversations with a consultative mindset.
Because Essel is a fast-growing staffing agency, you’ll have direct visibility into how your work impacts revenue, sales pipeline, and client growth. Candidates who perform well in this position will have opportunities to grow into Business Development, Account Management, or Sales Leadership roles. If you are someone who is driven by numbers, enjoys energetic work environments, and gets satisfaction from turning a cold call into a warm conversation, this is the perfect role for you
