Bilingual cold calling service for home services businesses
Hire bilingual (English/Spanish) virtual assistants from Latin American countries via Upwork to do cold calling for home services businesses in markets with large Hispanic business owner populations. The VA can call Hispanic business owners in Spanish and English-speaking owners in English, positioning themselves as a co-owner. This approach builds trust across demographics and costs far less than domestic callers. Give the VA a small equity stake (1%) plus fair wages to incentivize long-term performance.
