I Have A Telemarketing Job Interview Tommorow, Warrior Advice Needed!
Hey guys,
So I kind of stuffed up my business and need to put it aside for a job for a while(doh!).
I mis-managed my staff and basically paid WAY too much for outsourcing and now my cash flow is screwed, so I am looking for a job to make up the cash and keep my business on the side line for the next 12 months or so at least.
Now, I am a little curious about this job interview I just got offered and am attending tommorow.
I found an ad from a company that sells educational courses to business owners, so Certificates in Customer Service and other goverment recognised qualifications.
The ad (written by the guy running it) says he has 30 staff, been running since 2004 and is looking for 2 telemarketing and client management guys, here is what the ad outlined for requirements :
Duties and Responsibilities
· Telephone key business contacts to book face-to-face meetings for our educators
· Schedule appointments based on educator's availability and location
· Provide other marketing and promotional support as required
The candidate must have:
· Experience in customer calling and appointment setting
· Have the ability to continually meet and exceed targets set
· Have a professional and friendly phone manner
· Speak English fluently
· Strong computer literacy
· Objection handling skills
· Confidence in yourself to succeed
· Ability to build credibility and rapport quickly
Now, this looks like typical telemarketing requirements right? But wait...the pay is $80k base + commission. This is at least double every other base salary I found in the telemarketing jobs advertised. That's a big base for just a telemarketing job right?
Anyone think there's a catch I'm missing here, or is this guy going to turn around and change his mind on the salary after I accept the job or what?
I looked all around and couldn't find a similar job for the same salary. Thoughts?
Cheers, Laurence.
