Summary

Hi there, Virtual Momentum is a U.S.-based virtual assistant agency, and we’re looking for a sales-focused virtual assistant who is confident on the phone and comfortable owning day-to-day outbound lead generation. You’ll be supporting our clients with prospecting, follow-up, and light sales admin so they can stay focused on closing and delivery. What you’ll be doing: Making outbound calls to warm and cold leads to qualify interest and book appointments. Following up with leads via phone, email, and LinkedIn to nurture conversations and keep the pipeline moving. Updating CRM or tracking sheets with accurate notes, call outcomes, and next steps. Managing prospect lists: researching decision-makers, verifying contact details, and keeping data clean. Handling basic sales admin (sending follow-up emails, calendar invites, reminders, etc.). Following proven scripts while also thinking on your feet and adapting to the person you’re speaking with. Ideal experience & skills: Prior experience in appointment setting, inside sales, or phone-based lead generation. Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls and leaving voicemails when needed. Clear, friendly, and professional English-speaking voice; strong listening and rapport-building skills. Organized and detail-oriented with experience using a CRM or spreadsheets to track leads. Reliable internet, quiet work environment, and consistent availability during U.S. business hours (or overlap). Comfortable working with an agency and following established processes/systems. Tools you might use (depending on the client): CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, or similar). Google Workspace and spreadsheets. Dialer or VOIP tools for outbound calls. LinkedIn and email outreach tools for prospecting. Hours & availability: Looking for someone who can commit to at least 20 hours per week, with potential to scale up based on performance and client load. Long-term, ongoing work for the right fit (this is not a one-off project). How to apply: When you submit your proposal, please include: A short note on your past phone/sales or appointment-setting experience. An example of a campaign you worked on (industry, your role, and results). Your typical weekly availability in U.S. Central Time. We’re building a small, high-performing team and value people who are proactive, communicative, and treat our clients’ businesses like their own. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
