The Calling Script You'll be provided with a clear call script and campaign guidance. The script is a framework, not something we expect you to read robotically word-for-word. We're looking for someone who can understand the objective of the conversation, adapt the messaging naturally for Dutch prospects, handle objections confidently, and move qualified prospects toward an appointment. When Applying Please include: A short note explaining your relevant B2B cold calling / appointment-setting experience The types of businesses, products, or services you've previously called about Approximately how many hours per week you're available A brief 2–5 minute voice sample or Loom in Dutch For the voice sample, we'd ideally like you to deliver part of the calling script above as though you were speaking to a real prospect in the Netherlands. Don't worry about reading it perfectly. We're more interested in hearing your: Phone manner Confidence Natural Netherlands Dutch delivery Pacing and tone Ability to make a script sound conversational Ability to communicate professionally with B2B decision-makers You can attach the recording or Loom to your Upwork application. Please only apply if you are comfortable making outbound B2B calls in Dutch to prospects in the Netherlands and can commit to at least 10 hours per week for the duration of the campaign. One change I made deliberately is using “native-level Dutch with a natural Netherlands Dutch accent” rather than simply “native Dutch speaker.” That should help filter out applicants who speak Flemish/Belgian Dutch or learned Dutch fluently but don't sound natural for the specific market you're targeting.
