Let me cut straight to the chase - I'm about to show you exactly how I use Sales Virtual Assistants (VAs) to massively scale my business operations while keeping costs ridiculously low.

We're talking about getting premium work done for as little as $4 per hour.

Interested?

Let's dive in.

Here's a video I recently filmed on the topic of using Sales & Outreach Virtual Assistants. 👆

The Game-Changing Power of Sales Virtual Assistants.

First up - why am I obsessed with Sales VAs?

Simple. They've completely transformed how I handle time-consuming tasks like lead generation, outreach, and pre-qualification.

Instead of getting bogged down with repetitive work, I focus on high-value activities that actually move the needle.

‍

Pre-Qualifying Leads: A Real-World Example

Here's how I leverage Sales VAs to maximize efficiency.

Instead of jumping on 6-8 unqualified sales calls daily (each eating up 30-60 minutes), my VA handles initial conversations using a carefully crafted script. They pre-qualify leads and only schedule calls with serious prospects. The result? I now take just 3 highly qualified calls that are actually worth my time.

Pro Tip: I use Firefly for note-taking during these calls, and thanks to a Make.com automation, everything gets automatically updated in my Google Sheets CRM. Zero manual input needed.

Supercharging Your Outreach Game

Let me share a recent podcast outreach campaign I ran.

I needed guests for a new podcast but didn't have time for individual outreach.

Here's what I did:

1. Used Apollo to scrape a list of potential guests
2. Loaded them into a Google Sheet with PRO+ modules
3. Scraped LinkedIn "About" sections
4. Used GPT-4 for lead scoring (1-3 based on relevance)
5. Had my VA handle personalized outreach via LinkedIn and email

‍

The Results?

We secured 10 highly relevant guests in just 3 days. Total VA cost? $20. That's $2 per guest in manpower costs. Try beating that ROI!

Finding the Right Sales Virtual Assistant

Now, let's talk about where to find these game-changers. Where you source your VA can make or break your experience, affecting both cost and capability. I'll break down the main channels I've personally tested and vetted.

By the way you can find our full article on how to find Virtual Assistants here.

LinkedIn: Your First Stop

LinkedIn is hands-down one of the most straightforward ways to find quality Sales VAs.

Here's why I love it:

• Direct access to experienced talent
• Ability to filter by location (crucial for timezone management)
• Easy verification of experience and skills
• Option to headhunt VAs already proving themselves in similar roles

Pro Tip: Don't shy away from approaching VAs who are currently employed. In my experience, many are open to additional work if the opportunity makes sense for them.

Apollo: The Hidden Gem

Here's a platform many overlook - Apollo. While it's known as a lead database competing with Zoominfo and Ocean.io, it's a goldmine for finding VAs. The best part? It's way more affordable than its competitors.

What makes Apollo special:

• Access to verified email addresses
• Direct contact information
• Comprehensive social profiles
• More detailed background information than LinkedIn alone

‍

Fiverr & Upwork: The Popular Route

These platforms pack massive talent pools, but here's the real talk - they come with limitations. While you'll find plenty of VAs here, the platform's structure can be restrictive:

• Rigid gig-based communication
• Limited flexibility in pricing negotiations
• Platform fees that can add up
• Less freedom for long-term arrangements

‍

The Agency Advantage

Let's talk about agencies. Yes, they typically charge more due to middleman fees, but here's why they might still be worth considering:

• Pre-vetted talent pools
• Trial periods (some offer up to a week free)
• Replacement guarantees if things don't work out
• Handled training and quality assurance

Our agency is a prime example of a Virtual Assistant agency that's able to generate results.

Sales Virtual Assistants for CRM Enrichment: The Hidden Goldmine

Here's another task where Sales VAs shine - CRM enrichment.

Say you've got 500 contacts but no LinkedIn profiles to match. While tools like Clay can help, sometimes you need that human touch.

My VAs manually verify and update:

• LinkedIn profiles
• Company information
• Contact details
• Follow-up messaging

‍

Best Practices for Working with Sales VAs To get the most out of your VA investment:

1. Create clear processes and scripts
2. Use automation tools where possible
3. Start with simple tasks and gradually increase responsibility
4. Maintain regular communication
5. Provide detailed feedback early on

‍

The best sourcing method really depends on your needs:

• Need cheap and direct? Go the LinkedIn/Apollo route
• Want maximum flexibility? Try Fiverr/Upwork
• Need guarantees and support? Consider agencies
• Looking for long-term reliability? Mix direct hiring with agency backup

‍

The Bottom Line

Here's the truth - in today's competitive business landscape, you can't afford not to leverage Sales VAs. When you can get quality work done for $4/hour while focusing your energy on high-impact activities, it's a no-brainer.

Remember: successful scaling isn't about doing everything yourself - it's about smart delegation and leveraging the right resources at the right price point.

Sales VAs, especially when combined with modern AI tools, offer an unbeatable combination of cost-effectiveness and scalability.

Whether it's lead generation, outreach, pre-qualification, or any other time-consuming sales task, there's a VA solution waiting to help you scale. The question isn't whether you should use Sales VAs - it's how quickly you can get started.

The future of business operations isn't about working harder - it's about working smarter. And with Sales VAs in your arsenal, you're well-equipped to scale your operations without breaking the bank.

Ready to transform your sales operations? Start small. Pick one time-consuming task and delegate it to a VA. Once you see the results, you'll wonder why you didn't start sooner.
