There wasn't as much systemization so we were always dealing with odd requests and we did what you did, tried to make the best of it and offer something fair.I think as operators we have become too scared of reviews (but they do totally tank you) and the companies should be able to review the back chats to determine if the review was valid.

Cold calling is a long play too, it takes nurturing and having systems to convert.

There are some HVAC companies that unless they design the system and it's newer than 5 years, they recommend a whole new system.

I agree that tariffs can be justified against certain countries like china on specific products where their govt is clearly subsidizing the manufacture of those goods and dumping the products to try to run the competition into the ground.That being said. 

Wear gloves and wear a good mask with a filtration system, not just a paper dust mask.

You can train them in your systems for when something goes wrong and who to call.

Here is what I say will have the most impact on your ROI from using a VA to cold call for you:1) You need to plug in the VA into a system that works.
