Overview 20four7VA is seeking offshore independent contractors to deliver remote services to clients worldwide, with a primary focus on developed markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. A residential painting company in Tennessee is seeking a proactive Business Support VA to help manage customer communication, warm-lead follow-up, appointment scheduling, CRM administration, and day-to-day office operations. The VA will become a central point of follow-through for the business, helping ensure that leads, customers, jobs, paperwork, deadlines, and internal tasks continue moving without requiring constant oversight from the owners. The client is looking for a self-starter who can learn the business, ask questions, identify loose ends, and gradually become more valuable and independent over time. Painting experience is not required; familiarity with home-service businesses is a plus. The objective of each engagement is to assist the client in improving business efficiency, enhancing service delivery, or supporting operational functions through high-quality, task-specific services rendered by a qualified contractor. Scope of Services Contractors will be required to provide services that align with the following client tasks: Customer & Lead Support Respond to incoming calls, texts, emails, and online inquiries as needed. Gather basic project information from prospective customers. Schedule estimate appointments and coordinate customer follow-ups. Follow the company's established conversational call script and maintain a friendly, professional customer experience. Build rapport with warm leads and help move qualified customers toward scheduled estimate appointments. Follow up consistently with leads and customers, ensuring that outstanding inquiries do not fall through the cracks. Escalate technical painting questions to the appropriate team member when needed. Provide phone support when required, including customer inquiries and follow-up calls. Support sales-related activities as directed, with the primary allocation of sales calls remaining subject to the owners' preferences and evolving needs. Leads are primarily inbound. The emphasis is on communication, relationship-building, organization, and consistent follow-through rather than an exclusively sales-focused role. Executive, Office & Operations Support Provide administrative and executive support to help the owners manage day-to-day business activities and priorities. Maintain accurate lead, customer, job, and project information in DripJobs and other designated systems. Coordinate deposits, paperwork, scheduling, work orders, and routine customer communication. Track licenses, insurance documents, subcontractor records, and compliance deadlines. Coordinate routine administrative items with subcontractors, bookkeepers, and outside professionals. Maintain organized records of customer interactions, estimates, job updates, decisions, and outstanding action items. Monitor open tasks, deadlines, and operational priorities, proactively flagging items that require owner attention. Help organize the owners' workload by maintaining clear task lists, project trackers, and follow-up schedules. Project Coordination, Workflow Implementation & Accountability Help establish and implement a clear process for tracking leads, estimates, jobs, customer requests, and operational tasks from initiation through completion. Maintain a centralized system that clearly documents the status of outstanding work, required next steps, responsible parties, and follow-up dates. Ensure that relevant information is documented following customer interactions, site visits, estimates, and job updates. Proactively identify missing information, unpaid deposits, incomplete tasks, overdue follow-ups, and upcoming deadlines. Follow up with the owners, team members, subcontractors, or outside contacts as appropriate to keep work moving. Help the owners consistently use established systems and workflows by monitoring outstanding items, prompting necessary updates, and following up on commitments. Track action items through completion and escalate unresolved issues or recurring process gaps when necessary.
