Business Development & Outreach VA | Cold Calling + Marketing
Full-Time | Remote | 5-9 USD Per Hour

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST AND FOLLOW ALL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

We are a growing restoration and construction company in Arizona looking for a smart, outgoing, resourceful Virtual Assistant to help us generate new business and build relationships with potential customers and referral partners.
This is not a web design position, and we are not looking for someone whose primary strength is sitting behind a computer building websites or funnels.

You must have EXCELLENT spoken and written English. If you don’t, this is not going to be the right fit. Because of the nature of this position there is a video submission required and you will not be able to make it into the next round of interviews if your English is not sufficient.

The main goal of this position is simple:

Help us create more conversations, build more relationships, generate more opportunities, and ultimately sell more jobs and bring in more customers.

We want someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, communicating with people, following up consistently, using different forms of outreach, and thinking creatively about new ways to generate business through your assignments..
You will have systems and processes to follow that have been tested but we always welcome critical thinking and suggestions if you find a better approach to something.

We want someone who can think.
Someone who asks:
How can we get more people to respond?
What could we say differently?
How can we improve this campaign?
What follow-up are we missing?
Can AI or technology help us do this better?
What other opportunities should we be pursuing?
If you enjoy talking to people, solving problems, using technology, testing ideas, and figuring out ways to generate opportunities, this could be a great position for you.

What You'll Be Doing
A large part of your role will involve outbound lead generation and relationship building.

You Will Be:
Making outbound cold calls
Follow up with leads by phone, text, email , and social media
Contact potential customers
Contact homeowners who may have recently experienced property damage
Reach out to potential referral partners
Help schedule appointments and meetings
Research businesses and potential prospects
Build prospect lists
Manage ongoing follow-up
Re-engage old leads and contacts

Email marketing through Go High Level (GHL)
Help run LinkedIn outreach campaigns
Engage and communicate with people on LinkedIn
Keep leads and conversations organized in our CRM
Help develop new outreach campaigns
Track results and identify what's working
Suggest ways to improve response and conversion rates

You MUST be comfortable picking up the phone and talking to strangers.
You don't need to be an aggressive salesperson. In fact, we would rather have someone who is personable, curious, confident, and good at having natural conversations.

But if cold calling makes you uncomfortable, this position is probably not for you.
We Want Someone Who Can Think Creatively
We want someone who pays attention.

For example:
If people aren't answering, what else could we try?
If a certain message gets more responses, how can we use that?
If you find a better way to research prospects, follow up, automate repetitive work, or organize leads, bring us the idea.
You will be encouraged to test ideas, make suggestions, and help us improve.

Excellent English Is Extremely Important
You will represent our company when communicating with potential customers and business partners.
You need to speak English clearly, naturally, confidently, and professionally.
You should be comfortable having an unscripted conversation with an American customer or business owner.
We will provide scripts and training, but we don't want someone who sounds like they're simply reading a script.
Strong written English is also important because you may communicate through:

Email
SMS
LinkedIn
Social media
CRM follow-up
Other outreach channels

AI & Technology
You should be very comfortable with computers and interested in technology.
We use AI heavily and want someone who sees it as a tool to help them work smarter.

Experience with tools such as these is valuable:
ChatGPT
Claude
Gemini
GoHighLevel
LinkedIn
Canva
Dialpad
CRM platforms

Email marketing platforms
Automation tools

GoHighLevel experience is a plus, but it is NOT the main reason we will hire you.
We would rather hire someone who is smart, resourceful, great with people, technologically capable, and eager to learn than someone who knows every feature inside GoHighLevel but doesn't enjoy outreach or generating business.

Marketing & Outreach
You will also help with:
LinkedIn posts
LinkedIn engagement
Social media content

Email outreach
SMS campaigns
Lead nurture campaigns
Referral partner outreach
Prospect research
Canva graphics and flyers
Basic marketing materials
AI-assisted content creation

We don't expect you to be an expert at everything.
We care much more about finding someone with the right combination of communication skills, intelligence, creativity, resourcefulness, and drive.

Who We're Looking For
Our ideal candidate is:
An excellent English speaker
Comfortable cold calling
Confident talking to strangers
Personable and professional

Dependable
Consistent

Curious
A fast learner
Comfortable working independently
Able to solve problems
Willing to test new ideas
Comfortable receiving feedback
Able to take ownership of responsibilities
Interested in improving instead of simply completing tasks
We especially value people who can be given a desired result and figure out how to help us get there.
