Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Generalist

Evaluate B2B prospecting workflows, outbound campaigns, and lead qualification practices for an AI training project. This remote contractor role is for sales professionals who have personally generated opportunities through outbound work.

The work

You will review real-world B2B prospecting activities and judge whether the research, targeting, qualification, and outreach are likely to produce useful sales opportunities. Day-to-day tasks may include assessing prospect research, lead selection, outbound email sequences, cold outreach strategies, engagement methods, and the use of CRM or prospecting tools. Your feedback should identify both effective techniques and concrete workflow problems.

What micro1 screens for

The screening is likely to focus on verifiable examples of personally conducted outbound prospecting, rather than general familiarity with sales management. Expect follow-up questions about how you defined target accounts, researched contacts, qualified leads, built sequences, used sales tools, interpreted campaign results, and changed an approach when it was not working. Strong candidates can distinguish a well-executed process from one that merely appears polished.

Engagement details

This is a remote, worldwide, part-time contractor engagement supporting an AI training and evaluation project. The listing does not specify weekly hours, project duration, or whether work can be completed fully asynchronously, so candidates should confirm those details with micro1. Pay band: $35–65/hr

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether you have direct execution experience and can verify your role through specifics about the offer, target market, channels, workflow, and outcomes.
A strong answer: Choose one campaign and explain what you personally owned, from account selection through outreach and qualification. Include concrete campaign measures and distinguish your work from contributions made by marketing, operations, or other sellers.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points when they describe a team program at a high level but cannot identify which prospecting actions, decisions, or results were their own.
