Outreach Officer – International B2B Sales Development

Company: Meridian Commodities
Location: Fully remote
Type: Part time

About us

Meridian Commodities is a global trading business dealing in textiles, sustainable packaging materials and plant extracts / essential oils across EMEA. We have a growing database of importers, distributors and buyers. We need someone to turn it into real conversations and orders.

The role

You’ll run outbound outreach to prospective buyers across EMEA: email, LinkedIn and [phone / WhatsApp]. You’ll qualify interest and hand over warm, qualified leads to our leadership team to close. You’ll work from the lead database built by our research team. This role is judged on results, not activity.

What you’ll do

- Run personalised outbound campaigns to importers, distributors and wholesalers in target markets
- Write and test outreach sequences: cold emails, follow-ups and LinkedIn messages tailored by product line and country
- Qualify prospects on product fit, volumes, current suppliers, buying cycle and decision-maker
- Book discovery calls and coordinate sample requests
- Log all activity and pipeline stages in Zoho CRM. If it’s not in the CRM, it didn’t happen.
- Track response, meeting and conversion rates, and report weekly on what’s working and what isn’t
- Give feedback to the research team on lead quality (bad data, wrong targets, gaps)
- Follow up with past and dormant contacts

Weekly targets (indicative)

- qualified conversations
- meetings or calls booked
- sample requests
- Response rate tracked and improving month over month

Must-have skills

- Proven experience in B2B outbound sales, business development or lead generation.



Show us numbers from previous roles.
- Excellent written English. Your emails are our first impression.
- Experience with cold email and LinkedIn outreach at a professional standard (not spam blasts)
- Comfortable with CRMs and disciplined about logging activity
- Self-driven and organised, able to work across time zones with minimal supervision
- Thick skin. Most outreach gets ignored, and you need to keep going and keep improving anyway.

Nice to have

- Experience in commodities, trading, textiles, packaging or essential oils / natural ingredients
- Familiarity with outreach and email tools ([e.g., Lemlist, Apollo, Instantly, Zoho Campaigns])
- Experience selling into EMEA markets
- Additional languages: Arabic, French, German or Spanish (not mandatory)
- Basic understanding of international trade terms (MOQ, Incoterms, samples, COA/specs)

Compliance

All outreach must comply with applicable data-protection and electronic-marketing rules (e.g., GDPR, ePrivacy rules in EU countries, UAE PDPL). Cold B2B email rules differ by country, and some markets are much stricter than others. You must honour opt-outs immediately. No purchased lists, no misleading subject lines, no mass spam.

How to apply

Send:

- Your CV or LinkedIn profile
- Concrete results from past outreach work: e.g., response rates, meetings booked, deals sourced
- A sample cold email (max 120 words) to the procurement head of a mid-sized German importer of natural essential oils, introducing Meridian Commodities
- Your expected rate and weekly availability

Applications without items 2 and 3 won’t be considered.

Pay: ₹8,000.00 - ₹15,000.00 per month
