About the role
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
A fast-growing US-based solar lead generation business is expanding its offshore sales and appointment-setting team and is seeking a confident, energetic, and experienced SDR / Appointment Setter to support US operations remotely from South Africa.

ROLE OVERVIEW
This is a phone-heavy outbound and inbound appointment-setting role focused on engaging homeowners who have submitted interest in solar online. The successful candidate will qualify prospects, handle basic objections, and book qualified appointments directly into the CRM.
