About Rosebud Solutions

Rosebud Solutions owns the space between demand and revenue. We build one system that answers every inquiry in seconds, scores it against a business’s own rules, books it into their diary, and works it again when it goes quiet, then run that system for them every day, connected to the CRM and calendars they already use. The rest of the market sells software and wishes you luck; we took the harder route on purpose and operate the whole intake layer ourselves, so an owner’s team is free for the work only people can do. Our clients are owner-operated SMEs across Insurance, Dental, Aesthetic & Private Healthcare, Real Estate, Mortgage & Lending, Trades & Home Services, and Family Law & Consumer Legal.

The role

This is outbound, and you make the calls. You sit at the front of our sales pipeline and generate new business through high-volume dialling: every working day you work a prospect list we route to you against our ICP, carry the conversations live, qualify prospects against our framework, and hand sales-ready opportunities to a Business Development Executive who closes. Each prospect has already had email, voicemail and SMS from us before the phone rings — so you’re not the first touch, but you are the first live voice, and the call is yours to run. Nothing sits in a queue waiting for you; the pipeline exists because you dial.

The role is commission-only — no base salary, no hourly pay. You earn a percentage of the setup fee when a deal closes; if nothing closes, you’re not paid. Full earning scenarios are sent before interview.

You work one market, UK or US, based on the hours you can commit — weekdays only, 9am–5pm in that market’s local time, no weekends. Minimum 20 hours a week on a schedule you choose within that window, and plan for around 250 dials a week inside it.

What you’ll do

  • Generate new business through proactive outbound prospecting, with high-volume cold calling as the core of the role — around 250 dials a week — supported by our existing email, voicemail and SMS sequences, connecting with owner decision-makers and consistently building a healthy sales pipeline.
  • Qualify prospective clients by understanding their current challenges, business objectives, budgets and decision-making processes, ensuring opportunities meet our qualification framework before progressing them through the sales cycle.
  • Book high-quality discovery calls and handovers for our Business Development Executives by creating interest, overcoming objections and effectively communicating the value of the AI systems we build and run — your commission is earned when their deal closes.
  • Build and nurture relationships with prospects through structured follow-up activity, maintaining regular communication with potential clients and ensuring opportunities continue progressing until they are sales-ready.
  • Maintain accurate dialler and CRM records and pipeline management, ensuring all prospect activity, conversations and next steps are recorded to provide clear visibility of performance and future opportunities.
  • Work closely with internal stakeholders to provide market feedback and continuously refine scripts and outreach strategy to improve conversion rates.
  • Achieve and exceed individual KPIs — your weekly dial volume and the handover target agreed at interview — operating inside your market’s weekday 9–5 window in a high-performance environment where results are recognized and rewarded.

Required experience

  • At least 6 months of cold outbound dialling experience — this is the key requirement. You’ve held an SDR, appointment setter, telesales or similar outbound calling role where success was measured against commercial targets, and you’re confident making high-volume cold calls, engaging prospects and overcoming objections to generate opportunities.
  • Fluent, clear spoken English with excellent verbal and written communication skills — you’ll be on the phone with UK or US business owners all day, and the ability to quickly build credibility and establish rapport is essential.
  • Strong working understanding of AI and automation, with the ability to speak credibly about the systems we build and run.
  • Strong relationship-building abilities with a consultative approach to understanding client needs and identifying commercial opportunities.
  • Highly organized with excellent time management skills, capable of managing follow-ups, pipeline and priorities simultaneously without being chased.
  • Self-motivated, resilient and target-driven, with the ability to remain positive and consistent in a high-activity, commission-only environment — or with the runway to ramp into one.
  • Commercially minded with a strong desire to develop a long-term career within sales and business development.
  • Computer, headset, stable internet and a quiet calling environment, with the ability to operate as a self-employed contractor and call inside UK or US local business hours.

Compensation

Commission-only. You earn on the setup fee once the client pays. No clawback.

  • 7% standard rate
  • 10% once you clear 11 qualified handovers in a calendar month

Setup fees run £5,000 to £35,000+ per deal, so commission runs roughly £350 to £3,500+ per close. Full earning scenarios are in the commission proposal we send before interview.

  • A dialler loaded with a prospect list routed against our ICP
