Whole Real Estate Virtual Assistants & Cold Calling

[Jon Campbell]

Good day Everyone, 

I hired three virtual assistants in order to turn my wholesaling business that had picked up some momentum into a true business that allows me to work on the business instead of "in" the business. I've utilized one my virtual assistants to call two separate list, consisting of 6000 prospects. After reviewing the data, we were able to contact approximately 9% of the list on the first trial, but only .008% led to appointments. I understand this may not be enough data to go off of, however I am wondering is it the VA who needs more training or do I need to call the list personally to see if the results vary? I strongly do not believe the list is bad due to several deals earned from this list, primarily through direct mail, and I am noticing other investors close some of these properties. Any advice from someone who has had success with virtual assistants calling distressed properties?
