Our client is a Series A healthcare technology company focused on expanding access to insurance-covered care for chronic conditions.

Role Overview:

* High-volume outbound and inbound phone calls to warm Meta ad leads
* Live consultative conversations focused on VR therapy and insurance coverage
* Real-time qualification, objection handling, and next-step progression
* Proactive and reactive SMS follow-ups to support call connection and conversion, using approved guidance
* Accurate call notes, SMS logging, and dispositions in CRM
* Meeting daily call volume, QA, and conversion standards
* Driving conversion outcomes
Minimum Qualifications:

Language requirement:Excellent English Communication Skills

Education:Bachelor's Degree (advantageous)

Experience:1+ years of experience in inside sales experience in healthcare
* Clear, neutral spoken English and 1 to 3 years of demonstrated success selling to US consumers via phone, including live objection handling and trust-based conversations
* Prior experience working high-volume warm leads from paid advertising, ideally Meta
* Tech-savvy and quick to ramp on new tools and systems
* Experience using CRMs (e.g., FreshSales, Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.)
* Comfort running full sales conversations live without relying on scheduling
* Experience in a dialer or call-center environment
* Strong real-time objection-handling skills
* Comfort with QA scoring, conversion metrics, and call volume expectations
