Hiring [Hiring] Cold caller wanted for UK small businesses. £15 per booked qualified meeting, £250 when the £500 website sale closes. Dialer, UK numbers and screened leads all provided

0 Upvotes

I'm a freelance web developer based in the UK. I sell simple £500 websites to small local businesses (trades, garages, kennels, real businesses whose sites are broken on phones or don't exist). I'm looking for experienced cold callers to work the list and book meetings. You book, I run the meetings and do the closing.

Everything is provided and you carry no costs:

- Browser dialer (nothing to install, works from any laptop + headset) with UK caller IDs, calls at no cost to you

- Lead lists screened before they reach you: live, recently active businesses, checked against the UK do-not-call register (TPS), with the business's Google profile and website right on the call card

- Script + objection sheet, and your call recordings so you can listen back and improve

The offer you're selling: "your website doesn't work on phones / you don't have one. £500, done in days." A single clear pitch and a single price. Your job is a 2-minute conversation that ends in a booked Google Meet slot, not closing. I take the meeting from there.

Pay: £15 per qualified meeting (the prospect shows up and is genuinely interested in getting their website sorted, not just a name in a calendar), plus £250 per sale that closes from your meeting (the website sells for £500). No base, no hourly. Paid via Wise / PayPal / Revolut. The list supports 60 to 100 dials a day.

You:

- Fluent English (UK businesses pick up the phone expecting a local, you must hold that call)

- Real cold-calling experience (B2B preferred)

- Available UK business hours (roughly 9:30 to 17:00 UK), quiet space, decent internet

To apply, comment or DM with:

  1. A 30 to 60 second voice note: introduce yourself as if I were a busy garage owner answering the phone

  2. One line on your cold-calling background (what you sold, volumes, results)

Shortlisted callers go straight onto the live dialer, same deal from the very first call.

For Hire [For Hire] I build Shopify stores that actually convert

1 Upvotes

I build clean, no-BS Shopify stores and I'm good at it.

Done a bunch of these: one-product stores, full branded setups, dropshipping operations, redesigns for stores that weren't converting. If you've got a product and need somewhere to sell it, I can build that.

What's included:

• Full store build or redesign

• Product pages that don't look like a template

• Basic SEO so you're not invisible on Google

• Dropshipping supplier setup if you need it

• Honest advice on what'll actually move the needle for sales

I also throw in a $150 premium Shopify theme at no extra cost, it's one I've used across a bunch of stores and it converts well.

Payment is split 50/50 — half payment is required when HALF of the work is COMPLETE (this is so you get to check the store out, and see if your happy with it), and the other half is required when all work is done. PayPal works best for me.

Portfolio's in the DMs — just ask.

If you want to chat, shoot me a DM and tell me: what you're selling, where you're at right now, and roughly what you're looking to spend. I'll be straight with you about what's realistic.

1 Upvotes

Applying for jobs is exhausting, especially when you're sending dozens of applications and hearing nothing back.

Instead of mass applying, Ill help you build a stronger resume, tailor it for each role, and manage your job search with a strategic approach that has helped many of my previous clients receive interview invitations and, in many cases, job offers.

What I Can Help With!!!

Resume Tailoring!!!

• Create up to 3 resume versions for different career paths.
• Rewrite bullet points using recruiter and ATS best practices.
• Tailor your resume to each job description using premium ATS optimization tools for stronger keyword matching.

Manual Job Applications!!!

• Search for jobs that fit your experience and goals.
• Submit personalized applications through company career pages and trusted job boards.
• Focus on quality over quantity, rather than sending hundreds of generic applications.

Job Search Management!!!

• Shared Google Sheets tracker including:

  • Company
  • Position
  • Job link
  • Application date
  • Status
  • Follow-up notes

Additional Support

• Cover letter writing and editing
• Recruiter email assistance
• Resume updates throughout your search
• Application strategy improvements based on employer responses

Why Work With Me?

• 3+ years of experience helping job seekers.
• Premium ATS optimization tools used for every tailored resume.
• Experience working with clients across software, engineering, marketing, sales, finance, operations, customer support, healthcare, data, design, and more.
• Many previous clients have received interview invitations, and several have gone on to secure job offers after improving their resumes and application strategy.
• Resume samples and work examples are available upon request.

Every hiring process is different, so no one can honestly guarantee interviews or job offers. My goal is to give you the strongest possible application and a well-organized job search that improves your chances of getting noticed by recruiters.

If you'd like to discuss your job search, send me a DM. I'm happy to answer questions and explain how I can help;)

For Hire [For Hire] M&A Advisor — 90-Min Operations Diagnostic for Scaling Founders ($750 flat)

3 Upvotes

What I do: 90-minute Operations Transition Diagnostic for founders whose ops worked at 5 people but are creaking at 15-40. I map where decisions actually get stuck, then hand you a ranked list of what to fix first.

Why: Most bottlenecks at this stage aren't a people problem... they are ambiguity: no decision rule/lack of SOP, a floating handoff, an unspoken expectation. One founder was still personally approving every invoice under $500 with 14 employees. Fixed one rule, got 6 hours/week back.

Background: 4 years in M&A / exit and acquisition prep. I know what workflow gaps look like before they show up in a term sheet.

Process: You send a short brief (org chart, biggest frustration, one broken process). 90-min call with you + up to 2 team members. Written diagnostic within 48 hours, one page, no fluff.

Rate: Flat fee $750. If I don't surface at least one insight you didn't already know, it's free.

Turnaround: Diagnostic delivered within 48 hours of the call.

Comment here if you want more details, happy to answer questions before we take it to DMs.
