HIring a Virtual Assistant for Cold Calls

[Benjamin Barredo]

I want to hire a virtual assistant to cold call a list of cash buyers I have to sign them up and to weed out the "dud" phone numbers so I can use another freelancer to track down the good phone number and then repeat until I get through the entire list.

Anyone hire a VA before and if so, how do I approach it? How much do I pay? The site asks for my budget but I don't know if this is a flat fee or an hourly fee? I would assume hourly but so far I got 3 offers and they just posted $25. I find it hard to believe they'd call a list of 738 people for just $25. Even if 80% of the list is going to be old contact information, as far as the numbers are concerned.

I'm going to hit the ground running this weekend, knocking on doors, planting bandit signs, and even making offers on expired MLS listings. I took a light break during the holidays but new year, refocused, and determined to make this my year. My plan is to save up my annual income by mid-Fall so I can quit my job. But I need to build this Cash Buyer list. I won't feel good until I hit 100 and so far I have 25.

Anyway, I went off subject again. Back to the point of this post - Virtual Assistant for Cold Calls.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
