A cold-calling VA, or done-for-you?
Most wholesalers start by hiring a cold-calling VA, then discover the dialing is the easy part.
You still own the scripts, the training, the daily QA, the dialer and number setup, the compliance, and the turnover when a good caller quits. A done-for-you service takes all of that off your plate and puts a written guarantee on the output. Here is an honest look at when each one makes sense.
The part nobody mentions: managing the VA
Hiring the caller is one afternoon. Running the caller is the actual job.
Recruiting and turnover
Finding a good caller takes time, and the good ones leave. Every departure means recruiting and training all over again.
Two to three weeks of training
A new caller is not productive on day one. You are coaching scripts and objection handling before the first real lead lands.
Daily QA and recordings
Someone has to listen to calls, score them, and coach, every day, or quality quietly slides and you never know why.
Dialer, numbers, and spam
You set up the dialer, buy and rotate numbers, and fight the Spam Likely flag, or your connect rate collapses.
Compliance is on you
DNC scrubbing, an internal do-not-call list, opt-outs, and legal hours are your responsibility to run and prove.
No reporting unless you build it
A raw VA hands you dials, not dashboards. You build the tracking and the pipeline yourself.
Side by side
The same dials, a very different amount of work on your side.

When each one wins
We will say it plainly, because it is true.
A VA fits if...
You genuinely enjoy building and managing a calling team, you have the time to train and QA daily, and squeezing the lowest possible hourly rate matters more than a guaranteed result.
Done-for-you fits if...
You want deals, not a team to run. You would rather a guaranteed number of qualified sellers show up in your CRM than spend your week coaching callers and chasing spam flags.
Guaranteed 20 to 40 qualified seller leads per caller, in writing
If Call Savvys misses the guaranteed target, we continue dialing at no additional cost until the target is reached. Month to month, cancel anytime. Measured against the criteria we set with you at kickoff.
