Tasks required for the job
1. Basic Social Media Management
– Help with Social Media content organization, scheduling & management
– Monitor and respond to messages on social media is one of the MAIN tasks
– Posting content into FB and Linkedin groups in order to create awareness, and engagement with other users online. 1/3 of leads come organically from social media (not Google), the other 2/3 of leads come from Ads. The goal is to grow the organic leads
– The VA will schedule/post directly on Facebook or Linkedin, as the company doesn’t use any scheduling software.
– The company uses Facebook as the main social platform, but also use LinkedIn
– Linkedin is not yet a big one they use, but looking to expand it
– May also open a new Clubhouse group/account
– The VA will NOT need to create content at the beginning, as the company will provide the content needed and will be in charge of posting, scheduling, and managing it. The company will share the current process they have, and the VA will need to do it.
2. Basic Email Marketing
– Company uses ConvertKit, as Mailchimp was too expensive if you have many subscribers
– ConvertKit offers email marketing automated campaigns, which are already setup
– The VA will help manage/check that the campaigns are working all the time
– Setting up one-time campaigns, designing the emails, scheduling, etc.
– It’s all about the logistics and operation of it, but NOT the content/writing creation
3. Basic Marketing Research
– Research focused on finding Facebook/Linkedin Groups to join
– Research partners and/or organizations the company can partner with, with the goal of getting more leads.

– Share content by email that includes customer success stories, industry trends/news, product updates, etc.
– Create an email marketing calendar for monthly campaign
– Basic setup of the email marketing automation funnel
Sales Tasks
4. Follow-up with Leads & Potential Clients
– As soon as a new lead comes in, ConvertKit already will send automatic emails to follow-up, yet when the leads do reply manually, the company’s owner is not always replying fast enough
– The VA will focus on replying to those emails as soon as possible, with the goal of starting a conversation with the leads clients
Create follow-up email templates
– Follow-up with potential customers to answer questions and set up demos
– Follow-up by email or text messages
– Follow up with leads/clients an infinite number of times until they reply
– Follow up with prospects/leads that did NOT show up to an appointment, so make sure they reschedule
5. Customer Service & Support
– The company is mostly directed to get support via text, but they also have a phone # for calling
– The company uses Google Voice to make VOIP calls, as they don’t do too many calls
– Most of the communication with leads/customers is through text
– The goal is to nurture and help to convert leads into customers
– Reply to emails & phone calls
– Pick up the phone, talk to anyone who needs help
– Report and add any support related issues into CRM System
– Use a VOIP phone (Internet phone) provided by the client, which can be accessed through the computer for inbound/outbound calls
– Talk to people who are mainly existing clients, as well as new potential ones
– Answer calls from new people requesting information
– Follow-up calls with leads, vendors, clients, etc.
– Leads management (filter and sort leads of potential new clients)
6. Manage CRM & Data Entry
– ConvertKit is the CRM/Marketing automation tool they use, so all new leads come in here.
– ConvertKit is basic as a CRM but has tags and segments. Yet, it doesn’t let you create notes for content
– The company might consider getting a CRM in the future, as they only use a Spreadsheet to keep track of clients.
7. Calendar Management & Appointment Setting
– Calendly is the software the company uses to book appointments
– The VA will mostly share the Calendly link with leads to book an appointment with the owner, but will manually edit any calendar appointments as needed
– The company’s owner will also consider having the VA initially make quick calls to vet/qualify leads before they talk to the owner. Yet, for now, they’ll talk directly with the company’s owner
– This will depend on the VA’s English spoken level
