Job Overview:

We are seeking a proactive Sales & Marketing Specialist to drive qualified cruise and vacation leads through organic social media prospecting, primarily on Facebook and secondarily on Instagram. While content creation and community management play a supporting role, the primary focus is actively identifying potential customers, initiating qualified conversations, capturing lead details, and nurturing prospects through to quote requests and finalized bookings. 

Schedule: Remote, Part Time | Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon - 4PM EST to 8 PM EST.

Responsibilities

• Identify people actively looking for cruises, vacations, travel deals, or related services through Facebook communities, groups, posts, and conversations.
• Proactively discover and engage potential travel clients across Facebook communities via comments, posts, and direct messages to initiate authentic sales conversations.
• Qualify prospects based on travel needs and booking intent, logging accurate lead data into the CRM to maintain a consistent sales pipeline.
• Promptly respond to inbound inquiries and systematically follow up with prospects, seamlessly handing off qualified leads to the sales team.
• Track and document the entire lead journey in the database—from initial inquiry and quote request to final booking—to ensure accurate pipeline visibility and eliminate lost opportunities.
• Actively monitor and participate in targeted Facebook groups and travel communities, building credibility through natural, value-driven conversations without sounding promotional.
• Identify emerging discussions, questions, and trend opportunities within travel networks to uncover and convert potential leads.
• Create and publish engaging captions, reels, and short-form videos tailored for Facebook and Instagram to drive organic interactions and start sales conversations.
• Repurpose existing assets on a consistent schedule to maintain professional brand standards while adapting messaging to the target travel audience.
• Encourage satisfied clients to submit testimonials while monitoring and professionally responding to all reviews and comments across platforms to maintain strong social proof. 
• Success is evaluated primarily by bottom-line sales metrics—such as qualified leads generated, conversations started, quotes requested, and bookings closed—with engagement and audience growth serving as secondary indicators.  

Requirements

• Proven experience in social media marketing, social selling, lead generation, or online prospecting.
• Strong experience using Facebook, particularly Facebook Groups and community-based prospecting.
• Instagram experience preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to identify and engage potential customers organically through social media.
• Strong written English and the ability to communicate naturally and professionally through comments and DMs.
• Experience qualifying leads and maintaining accurate lead/customer information.
• Strong follow-up discipline and attention to detail.
• Comfortable working toward measurable lead-generation and sales outcomes.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and able to work independently

Preferred Experience

• Travel, tourism, cruise, hospitality, or lifestyle industry experience.
• Experience generating leads through Facebook Groups or other online communities.
• Experience with CRM or lead-management systems.
• Experience supporting sales teams or converting social conversations into qualified opportunities.
• Experience creating social media content, reels, and short-form video.
