Cold Calling Sales Representative (for a Catering Company)
$250-750 USD
Paid on delivery
Our catering company has been in business for over 14 years, and is well established in the Philadelphia and suburban market, catering roughly 25-30 orders each day of the week.
To gain new business we call on companies throughout the area and simply "qualify" them to see if they normally order or receive catered breakfast/lunch/dinner orders to their office. If they do, and those events account for at least 20 people once a month (whether on one order or several smaller orders), we consider them "qualified" (assuming they are not already a customer of ours). We then offer them a free sampled catering meal for 10 people to try our food and hope to win their future business.
There is no presentation or strings attached, just an opportunity to try our food in hopes of impressing them to the point of adding our company to their catering rotation. It's typically a very easy sell - it just takes time to call. History has proven a success rate of about 1 sampling acquired every 45-60 minutes of calling.
This method has worked very well for us over the years in growing our business. Therefore, we are now looking to hire a 2nd freelancer that is willing to also work on a commission basis. We will provide the calling lists (purchased from [login to view URL]), and will pay a set commission for every sampling that is arranged with a qualified company. We are not interested in paying an hourly wage, but otherwise feel a commissioned program is appropriate. We will pay $20 per sampling that is arranged via Paypal, paid weekly! We want to arrange up to one sampling to be delivered from our company every day of the week (Monday-Friday), from each of our two branch locations (Philadelphia and West Chester, PA). The number of hours you choose to work is entirely up to you (whether it's a couple per week or a lot more), we just hope to see a steady stream of weekly samplings. But our maximum monthly allowance for samplings would be 40 per month, and thus would pay $800 per month ($20 per sampling).
Once these terms have been agreed to, we will train you on how to rebut or answer typical questions, will offer tips on how to arrange the samplings, etc. But after a handful of calls you will start to get the feel, and your skill will only improve with time!
