DEADLINE TO APPLY: You must apply by Thursday, February 10th, at 11:30 PM PT. Our team will set up interviews for the selected candidates for Monday, February 14th, 2021.
Tasks required for the job
1. Answer Inbound calls of interested (Warm) potential clients and existing clients
– The client’s company is doing various types of advertising campaigns. Including in the Radio (In Spanish), as well as in various other websites, and also Google ADs campaigns.
– There are around 40 inbound calls/day which the VA would need to answer.
– Company uses the VoIP RingCentral software as a phone system
– Each conversation with a new potential client may take around 15-20 minutes, including learning about their needs and taking notes.
– If the call is with an Existing client, the call will just be 1-2 minutes, as the VA will just need to connect the client and forward it to the right paralegal/attorney that is ALREADY taking care of the client
– The goal of the inbound calls is for the VA to tell potential clients more about the lawyer’s services, so they can decide whether to hire the firm or not
2. Outbound phone calls for existing leads (Warm calls)
– The VA will make two types of outbound calls A) Call potential leads from a list, and B) Follow-up calls
– Client uses some type of CRM system where all these leads are saved
– For call type A) The VA will be notified via Email when new leads come in from an online campaign, and when they get this new lead by email, the VA will need to make a call. Just like the “inbound call”, but the VA will start and make the call, rather than answer the phone call
– For the call type B) It’s all about following up with the people that didn’t initially answer the calls. Usually, the VA will need to call at least 5 times before giving up.
– The VA may also need to send the client an SMS and email to follow-up, through an internal software
3. Managing claims with insurance companies
– The VA will need to call insurance companies to make a claim
– The client’s company has training resources and complete scripts that the VA needs to use to make such claims
– If the potential client doesn’t have insurance, the law firm will evaluate more details to see if they can help the people or not. The VA would usually put these clients with lawyers/paralegals to learn more before they can decide to take the potential client as a new client or not
– The VA will use the client’s internal system to set up new cases for new clients, so they can gather all the necessary info from each client before they start a claim
– For a client, the main benefit of using a law firm vs just working directly with the insurance agency is to ensure taking care of the case on behalf of the client. They usually try to get the FULL policy limits, which is about a claim to get about $30K.
– The law firm has around 70 cases/month, and currently has about 1,300 active cases, so they’re very experienced.
4. Data Entry Work in Excel
– All the paralegals in the company have an American Express card, so the VA needs to log the specific costs/purchases/charges used by each Paralegal and reconcile them on Excel lists
– The VA will need to reconcile this once a week, and will not take too long
– There are about 100 case expenses per week, and this task is fairly easy as the VA simple needs to “match” an expense that shows on the Card, with data on the Excel sheet
– Company will provide training on how to do this, including a video on how to do it. It’s pretty straightforward
5. General Admin Tasks
– Manage online documents, including editing/labeling documents correctly as needed, and/or changing document names
– Other general administrative tasks and small projects, around data entry
