Using a VA to answer incoming calls

[Tyson Cross]

Ok, so I am making a plan to start virtual wholesaling. I have a market I am targeting within two hours away. I have some contacts on the ground that I plan to use for taking pictures and estimating rehab costs. I won't actually go to the property, so this will be critical.

The tough part is that I have a full time job that does not allow me to take phone calls all day. So my thought is to hire VAs to take phone calls and screen callers. I would ideally like for the qualified callers (equity and motivation) to then get passed to me. I would then run the comps (I have MLS access) and pass it to my partner on the ground. You know the rest from there.

My main question is, does anyone use VAs to screen callers? If so, what types of tools/information have you given them in order to be successful. It seems to me that I would want someone who has great conversational skills and asks the right questions. This is crucial to me even starting wholesaling with a full time job. Unless I can find a successful VA to take calls, I don't know how I could successfully and consistently close deals.

Thanks.
