Customer Engagement Specialist (Contract 2-4 months)
About the role
About the Role
We’re building a project focused outreach team dedicated to reconnecting with our inactive customers and reigniting long-term relationships. As a Customer Engagement Specialist, you’ll speak with businesses that have purchased from Weston Forest in the past but haven’t ordered recently. Your mission is simple: spark meaningful conversations, understand their current needs, and guide them back into the Weston family.
The Customer Engagement Specialist is a 2 to 4-month contract role designed to support a targeted customer reactivating dormant or inactive customer accounts by initiating outbound calls, uncovering current business needs, and guiding each interaction toward a high-value next step. This position blends call center-style outreach with inside sales fundamentals, helping to rebuild relationships, spark new orders, and support Sales Reps with well-prepared appointments. The goal is to increase customer reactivation, improve market visibility, and directly contribute to sales pipeline growth.
This role blends the energy of a call center environment with the relationship-building skills of inside sales. If you’re someone who enjoys connecting with people, thrives on friendly persistence, and loves turning “maybe later” into “yes, let’s do it,” you’ll feel right at home here.
