JOB OVERVIEW

This role is primarily phone-based. The VA will handle high-volume inbound and outbound calls — answering customer inquiries, following up on leads, and booking free estimates/inspections using an assumptive-close style (e.g., "Does tomorrow morning or afternoon work better?" rather than asking if they want to book). Comfort and confidence on the phone, at volume, is the #1 requirement.

Other Responsibilities:

Email
and text/SMS communication with customers
Updating customer records in Skimmer (CRM)
Small ad hoc administrative tasks as needed

Requirements:
Clear, neutral accent
Strong phone presence — high call volume, not just occasional calls
Comfortable with light sales/booking conversations (not hard selling — booking free services)
Familiarity with Slack or WhatsApp
Customer-focused approach

Softwares: Tradesgang, Skimmer, QuickBooks Online, RingCentral, Google Workspace, Slack, WhatsApp

Note: Tasks vary by day — this is a general scope, not a checklist every VA will do all of.

We're looking for people who already have recent experience handling a high volume of calls and do not have a decipherable accent.
