VA's to make cold calls

[Brandon Purdeu]

has anyone used a VA from upwork or another website to make cold calls to FSBO's? At $8-10/hour I would like to pass the initial call/appointment setting off to a VA to free up some of my time. Any tips for using this system? Anyone tried and failed?

@Brandon Purdeu - it will depend on the systems you have set up in terms of how effective they will be. We have in-house ISAs, but they are more expensive. If you use VAs, will you get them set up with Mojo or a dialer so they can dial more? Also to consider is what number they will call from as you will need to get them a local number to your location. If you only give them call lists, they will move much slower. Either way, if you use a VA you need to have them in your systems so you can monitor their actual calls. I know many people who have had bad experiences using VAs for calling without systems to make sure they are calling. Also, your last check up will be to have a call with them a few times to assess their voice and call flow for clients.
