SDR – Appointment Setter

📋 Description

• We are seeking an SDR / Appointment Setter for a rapidly expanding corporate FX company focused on UK-based businesses.

• This role is heavily centered on cold calling, aimed at generating qualified meetings with finance directors, CFOs, and treasury teams in the UK for the FX sales desk.

• You will operate during UK hours from South Africa, identifying and reaching out to prospects who are currently overpaying on foreign exchange, and scheduling consultations with the dealing team.

• This position does not involve warm inbound leads; you'll be actively making calls each day, opening doors to new accounts, and building a pipeline from the ground up.

• On a daily basis, you will research target companies with FX exposure, make 80–120+ outbound calls, qualify prospects based on defined criteria, schedule meetings directly into the sales team's calendar, and maintain precise CRM records.

• You will be required to clearly convey the value proposition related to FX cost savings, rate transparency, and service quality compared to traditional banks.

⛳️ Requirements

• Previous experience in corporate FX is crucial — you must comprehend spot, forward, and payment flows, and feel comfortable conversing with senior finance stakeholders in that context.

• Proven experience selling in the UK market, with a solid understanding of UK business culture and purchasing cycles.

• A clear and demonstrable track record of success in cold calling — we will expect to see metrics (dials, connect rates, meetings booked, conversion rates). If you cannot provide numerical evidence, this is likely not the right role for you.

• Must be based in South Africa and able to work UK hours (typically 9am–5pm GMT/BST).

• Exceptional spoken English with a clear and professional phone demeanor.

• Resilient, self-driven, and comfortable with high-volume outbound activities and the possibility of daily rejection.

• Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar) is required.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary along with performance-based commissions on meetings booked and converted.

• This is a remote role allowing you to work from home within South Africa.

• Opportunity for advancement into a senior sales or account management position within the FX business.

• A supportive team environment that offers coaching and ongoing personal development.

• Exposure to international financial markets and a high-value client portfolio.
