Patient Outreach Consultant (Dental Healthcare) - EST Hours (Remote)

AI overview

Engage with nursing home residents by providing support and guidance through the dental service sign-up process, ensuring a knowledgeable and reassuring experience without commission pressure.

ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency — we operate as a dedicated extension of our U.S.-based clients’ teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.

We are hiring a Patient Outreach Consultant to support a U.S.-based dental healthcare provider serving nursing home residents. This role suits someone confident, personable, and who enjoys engaging with people in a consultative and supportive manner.

This is not a cold-calling or aggressive sales role. You will contact individuals who have already expressed interest in dental services, providing education, answering questions, and guiding them through the sign-up process to ensure a positive and informed experience.

NB! ***This role is ideal for someone who enjoys people interaction, relationship-building, and helping clients make informed decisions, without the pressure of commission-based sales.***
