Acumen Agency Is Mass Hiring

Acumen Agency is a growing startup and international business services company currently undertaking mass hiring across Canada and internationally.

We are looking for energetic, ambitious, and results-driven people to join our team as Cold Calling Specialists and help us generate new business opportunities, qualify prospects, and book appointments with potential clients.

This is more than simply a cold-calling position. It is an opportunity to learn, earn, build your resume, develop real-world business experience, and grow into sales, business development, management, and leadership positions as the company expands.

About Acumen Agency

Acumen Agency is a full-spectrum professional business services firm serving small and medium-sized businesses, large enterprises, governments, charities, and NGOs.

Our services span areas including:

Business Consulting • Marketing • IT & Technology • Financial Services • Business Development • Corporate Services

Our sales team plays an important role in connecting these services with organizations that need them.

Why Join a Startup?

One of the biggest advantages of joining a growing startup is that there is room to grow.

As Acumen Agency expands, new opportunities in sales, business development, account management, operations, management, and executive leadership will become available.

People who demonstrate strong performance, initiative, and leadership can position themselves for career advancement, increased responsibility, and higher earning potential.

If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to be part of building something rather than simply working inside an established corporate structure, this could be an excellent opportunity.

The Opportunity

This position starts as a performance-based role with clear targets and measurable objectives.

You will be responsible for making outbound calls to prospective businesses, introducing Acumen Agency, identifying potential needs, qualifying prospects, and setting appointments for further discussions.

You can earn through performance bonuses and results-based compensation, with strong performers having the opportunity to transition into a salary-based position as soon as possible.

The goal is simple:

Make calls. Create conversations. Generate opportunities. Book appointments. Produce results. Grow with the company.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities include:

• Make outbound cold calls to businesses and prospective clients.
• Introduce Acumen Agency and explain our business services.
• Identify potential business needs and opportunities.
• Qualify prospects based on established criteria.
• Ask effective questions and understand prospect requirements.
• Handle initial objections professionally.
• Generate qualified sales leads.
• Set appointments for sales representatives, consultants, or management.
• Follow up with prospects who have expressed interest.
• Maintain accurate prospect and call records.
• Update CRM and lead-tracking systems.
• Consistently meet established calling and activity targets.
• Conduct follow-up calls, emails, and other outreach.
• Research businesses and identify potential prospects.
• Communicate professionally with business owners, executives, managers, and decision-makers.
• Provide feedback regarding common objections, market demand, and prospect needs.
• Follow established sales scripts, systems, and procedures.
• Help improve our outbound sales process as the company scales.

More Than Just Cold Calling

Although outbound calling and appointment setting are the primary responsibilities, we encourage our team members to think beyond a single task.

High-performing team members may have opportunities to expand into:

• Lead generation.
• Business development.
• Sales closing.
• Account management.
• Client relationship management.
• Strategic partnerships.
• Networking.
• Recruiting.
• Marketing.
• Sales management.
• Team leadership.

If you demonstrate that you can generate opportunities and create revenue, there is potential to take on substantially greater responsibility.

Performance Over Academic Credentials

Academic qualifications are appreciated and can be valuable, but they are not the only measure of success at Acumen Agency.

If you have the communication skills, confidence, work ethic, persistence, sales ability, and drive to succeed, we encourage you to apply even if your academic background doesn't perfectly match the position.

We are particularly interested in people who can produce results.

In this role, your performance can be demonstrated through measurable outcomes such as:

Calls Made • Conversations • Qualified Leads • Appointments Booked • Opportunities Generated

Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is:

• Energetic, ambitious, and self-motivated.
• Confident speaking with strangers and business professionals.
• Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls.
• Persistent and able to handle rejection.
• A strong verbal communicator.
• Goal-oriented and motivated by performance.
• Comfortable asking questions and qualifying prospects.
• Organized and able to maintain accurate records.
• Comfortable using computers, CRM systems, and online tools.
• Able to follow scripts and established sales processes.
• Entrepreneurial and willing to take initiative.
• Able to work independently.
• Interested in sales, business development, entrepreneurship, or leadership.
• Focused on measurable results rather than simply completing tasks.

Previous experience in cold calling, telemarketing, sales, appointment setting, customer service, lead generation, business development, recruiting, or direct sales is an advantage.

However, high-potential candidates with the right attitude and communication skills are encouraged to apply.

Learn. Earn. Grow.

This is an opportunity to gain practical experience in:

Cold Calling • Sales • Lead Generation • Appointment Setting • Business Development • Client Acquisition • Marketing • Operations • Management • Leadership
