Marketing and Sales Assistant

I am looking for a virtual sales/marketing admin assistant. This would be part-time to start with an upgrade to full-time based on performance. They would need to try to mirror USA Eastern time for some of the sales calls follow-up that would need to take place during business hours. The client is in the financial services sector. Below is a list of items the VA would be doing.

Place outbound calls to follow up on leads received. They would only be setting appointments with the business owners, not going into too much detail on services.

Answer inbound calls as needed.

Follow up on leads by email to set appointments with the business owners and ensure all leads are contacted in a timely manner.

Work with the business owners to make sure they are contacting all leads and update the status of each lead in the CRM.

Various marketing admin activities.

The VA must be well-spoken in English and comfortable talking to strangers on the phone.
