  • Experience in logistics, trucking, freight brokerage, or transportation is highly preferred
  • Familiarity with CRM systems (Close CRM, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, or similar)
  • Comfortable using lead generation tools such as Apollo
  • Organised, motivated, and dependable - able to work independently in a remote environment

  • Ability to work Monday to Friday, Central Standard Time (CST), 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Nice to Have (Bonus Points)
  • Prior experience in freight, logistics, or transportation - knowing the language (rate per mile, flatbed, hotshot, etc.) is a BIG plus
  • Experience using Close CRM or a sales-specific dialer
  • Background in B2B sales targeting commercial or industrial companies
  • Why Join Assist World?
  • 100% REMOTE
