⏰ Hurry — limited spots available. First come, first served. Reach out now to lock yours in before they're gone.
Hello.. I'm Jesse, and I run jcsalesandmarketing — a freelance Sales & Business Development operation built around one thing: getting your phone to ring with qualified appointments, or closing the deal myself, on a 1099 contract basis.
If you searched "hire an appointment setter," "hire a cold caller," or "hire a 1099 sales rep".. you found your guy. I've been doing this full-time since Jan 2025 (in sales since way before that), I'm Top Rated Plus on Upwork, and I take on clients on or off the platform.
Quick way to sum me up: the heart of a lion, the balls of a bull, and the wings of an eagle. 🦁🐂🦅 Heart to keep swinging on the rough days, balls to dial a total stranger, wings to go get it. And yeah it sounds like hype.. it's not, I just really believe it.
Why Hire Me As Your Freelance Appointment Setter
Real production, not promises.
Standard goal is 15 dials/hour, but I'm not a high-volume caller.. I'm a high-results producer. On more than one contract I've hit top-producer numbers on day one — for example, on one contract, 4 appointments off just 19 calls — and then continue to consistently produce day in, day out, and this is just one of a number of contracts where I've been able to do that.
I also close. I've taken $100-$1,000 real estate lead sales on the first call, card in hand, and closed $150k in high-ticket legal services deals ($10k-11k each) in about 3 months.
Industries I've worked: AI answering services, Google PPC/marketing agencies, healthcare (doctors, dentists, chiropractors), solar, SaaS, real estate pay-per-lead, immigration law, and government contracting.
Simple Rates. No Long-Term Contract. No Risk.
Hourly, or hourly + commission — pick the structure that fits your pipeline.
I charge $45/hr flat for appointment setting — no commission, no per-appointment fee, no retainer games.
Want me running the whole cycle — setting the appointment and closing the deal myself? I call that cradle to grave. For that you've got two options: $60/hr flat, or $45/hr base + commission if you'd rather keep the hourly lower and pay me more on the back end for closed deals.
Try me for a week. If the numbers aren't there, you don't owe me a day more.. no long-term contract required to find out if we're a fit.
Cold Calling, Appointment Setting & Closing — All In One Hire
One contractor, three roles.
Most freelance appointment setters only set. I do that and I close, so you're not stuck hiring two people (or two vendors) to cover the phone. Video sales calls, LinkedIn outreach, and lead list building are all on the table too, depending on what your pipeline needs.
I've also run the physical call-center grind — hit-a-quota-every-day, no excuses — so the consistency isn't an accident.
Here's the kind of cold caller I love being: think about walking down the road and a stranger holds the door for you, smiles, and somehow that smile makes you smile.. that stranger just made your day. That's me on the phone. Job going great or not, doesn't matter — if I'm changing someone's day, one human to another, and adding a smile or a cheer they wouldn't have had otherwise, I'm loving it. Your prospects feel that, and it's a big part of why they say yes to the appt.

Hiring a 1099 Sales Contractor — FAQ
How much does it cost to hire a freelance appointment setter?
$45/hr flat for appointment setting. If you want me running the full cycle — setting the appointment and closing it myself (what I call cradle to grave) — it's $60/hr flat, or $45/hr base + commission if you'd rather keep the hourly lower. No long-term contract required either way.
What industries have you worked in?
AI answering services, Google PPC/marketing agencies, healthcare (doctors, dentists, chiropractors), solar, SaaS, real estate pay-per-lead, immigration law, and government contracting.
Do you only work through Upwork?
I'm Top Rated Plus on Upwork, but I also take on clients directly on a 1099 basis, on or off the platform.
What's your production like?
Standard goal is 15 dials/hour. On multiple contracts I've hit top-producer numbers within the first day and sustained it for the life of the contract.
Can you close sales, not just set appointments?
Yes — I've closed $100-$1,000 real estate lead sales on the first call, and up to $150k in high-ticket legal services deals over about 3 months. If you want the full cycle (what I call cradle to grave — setting the appointment and closing it), that's $60/hr flat, or $45/hr base + commission if you'd rather structure it that way.
Do I need to provide you a lead list to get started?
No — I've got the resources and I prefer to source my own leads. I can build and deliver more than adequate quantity and quality of leads for a project of any size, whatever industry or niche you're in. If you'd rather I work off a list you already have, that works too.
Do you use your own CRM and dialer, or do I need to provide one?
I've got my own — I run everything through HubSpot as my CRM and dialer, so you don't need to provide either one. If you want a firsthand look into the data and how I work, I'll set you up with a view-only seat in that CRM. Prefer something simpler? I can keep a Google Sheet master lead tracker instead — call dates, outcomes, and notes, same as what's in the CRM. Happy to do both if you want the seat and the sheet. Just tell me which you'd prefer and I'll set it up.
