Dear Virtual Latinos,
We’re looking to hire 1 VA through this job that the Virtual Latinos Agency is publishing on behalf of a new client.
Client & Short Job Description:
Residential cleaning company with 4+ years of experience. They do not clean anything that’s not residential, this means they do not do the cleaning of offices, businesses, etc. They also do short-term rental cleaning, focused on Airbnb hosts. They operate differently than the traditional cleaning companies, as they do NOT require “estimates” by having someone go to the house to get a price. The potential clients can easily book a cleaning service using the company’s mobile app, or the website.
Once a client books the cleaning online, they’ll do an initial call with the potential client, before the cleaning people show up, to verify the details of the client’s home, square footage, pets or not pets, to, etc to ensure they’ll get a real estimate of the price, yet it can still potentially change if the actual reality of the client’s home is different from the original description.
The team is made up of a husband and wife team, plus a few VAs. One in the Philippines and one in Jamaica, so already used to working with VAs.
Software the client currently uses:
Launch27.com for scheduling of cleaning people, which also works as a CRM, FrontApp (https://frontapp.com/), RingCentral for VOIP phone system, and ClickUp for project management.
