Front office / customer service VA

Hire a Customer Service Virtual Assistant for Your Front Office

Calls go to voicemail while you are on a job, and leads go cold after 5 PM. A full-time customer service VA answers and returns calls, books estimates, follows up on quotes and asks happy customers for reviews, during your business hours.

Every missed call is a lead someone else books

For a service business, the front office is the revenue desk. A homeowner who reaches voicemail often calls the next company on the list. A quote that nobody follows up on sits in an inbox until the customer forgets about it. A great job that never gets a review request does nothing for your next customer.

None of this needs you personally. It needs a reliable person who owns the phone and the follow-up every day, knows your services, and treats your customers like their own. That is the role a front office VA fills.

What your customer service VA handles

Calls

Answer and return calls

Inbound calls picked up, voicemails returned the same day, and callers routed or booked instead of left waiting.

Speed

Missed-call text-back

When a call is missed, the caller hears back fast, so the conversation stays with you.

Booking

Booking estimates

Estimates and appointments scheduled into your calendar with the details your team needs.

Follow-up

Quote follow-up

Sent quotes chased politely and on schedule until the customer says yes or no.

Reputation

Review requests

Finished jobs followed by a review request, so your Google profile reflects the work you do.

Hearing them before you hire them

For a customer-facing role, how someone sounds matters as much as what is on their resume. That is why every finalist comes with a recorded 10-15 minute interview, shared with the candidate's consent. You can listen to their English, their tone and how they handle a question before you book a call.

The rest of the Endorsement Packet adds a resume, portfolio where relevant and our interview summary. You review two or three packets, interview your favorites and hire one directly. Our search covers the job post, sourcing, screening, interviews and a skills assessment, all before a candidate reaches you. The full process is on how it works.

Covering the hours your customers call

US and Canadian hours are standard for our VAs. Your customer service VA works full-time during your business day, whether you are in Toronto, Texas or anywhere between. Read more about hiring for a US business or a Canadian business.

Setting your front office VA up to win

Clients who get the most from this role usually prepare a few things before day one. None of it takes long, and it saves weeks of back-and-forth:

  1. A call script and FAQ. Your services, service area, typical price ranges you are happy to share, and what to say when they do not know.
  2. Booking rules. Which calendar, how long each appointment type takes, and who can be booked when.
  3. A follow-up rhythm. For example, a quote follow-up at day two, day five and day ten.
  4. Access. Logins to your phone system, CRM and calendar, set up under their own user.
  5. One weekly number. Calls answered, estimates booked or quotes closed, so you both know what good looks like.

We help you onboard, then step back. Because you hire your VA directly, you set the standards and they work inside your systems.

What it costs

You pay your VA directly and they keep 100% of their pay. We charge one fee of 30% of their annual salary. $500 starts the search and counts toward the fee; the balance is due only after the 100-day guarantee, with up to two replacements covered.

Example
A front office VA paid $1,100 a month earns $13,200 a year. The one-time fee is $3,960, which is the $500 deposit plus $3,460 after day 100. Year one totals $17,160. After that, only the salary. Prices are in USD.

Front office plus one more skill

Some candidates are strong in two of our core roles. A customer service VA who also knows GoHighLevel can keep your pipeline current as they book, and one with admin skills can manage your calendar too. At Pride Painting, an estimate coordinator and two sales hires were part of a seven-person remote team that helped the company book and close 55% more estimates and projects year over year.
