Company: Epos Gurus Ltd (UK)

Role type: Remote / Contract (with long-term potential)

About Epos Gurus

Epos Gurus is a UK-based EPOS consultancy for hospitality and retail. We help restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars fix day-to-day operational headaches by improving their EPOS and payments setup — and we handle the heavy lifting: review, recommendation, install, training, and support.

The Role (What you’ll do)

This is appointment setting, not “hard selling EPOS” on the phone.
Your job is to call UK hospitality businesses, uncover pain points quickly, and book a qualified meeting for our consultant (the business owner) to do a short tech review and evaluation.

Responsibilities

  • High-volume outbound calls to UK restaurants/cafés/pubs/bars
  • Speak to owners/managers and surface real pain points fast
  • Confident objection handling and keeping control of the call
  • Book meetings into the calendar with clean notes and qualification
  • Track outcomes and follow-ups accurately (CRM discipline)
  • Hit daily activity and weekly booking targets

What “good” looks like

  • Consistent daily output (you show up and you dial)
  • Strong conversion: conversations → booked meetings
  • Quality notes (no vague “call back” junk)
  • Calm confidence under pressure — persistent, not pushy
  • Coachable, accountable, metrics-driven

Requirements (Non-negotiable)

  • Fluent, confident English (spoken + written)
  • Outbound calling / appointment setting experience (B2B preferred)
  • Strong internet + quiet workspace + headset
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work 6 hours/day UK-aligned
  • Comfortable with rejection and able to keep momentum

Nice to have

  • Hospitality/retail calling experience
  • EPOS / payments / SaaS background
  • CRM experience (Zoho, HubSpot, Salesforce etc.)

Why this role works

  • Clear scripts, training, and call frameworks
  • A service that solves real problems (easier to book meetings)
  • Direct feedback loop with the owner (fast improvement)
  • Performance upside + growth path for high performers

How to apply

Send your CV plus a short message answering:

  • Your outbound/appointment-setting experience (who you called + what you booked)
  • Your best metrics (dials/day, meetings/week, show rate if known)
  • Your availability across UK hours (which 6-hour window you prefer)

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: R130,00 per hour

Expected hours: 30 per week

Work Location: Remote
