We hire direct through Upwork, no agencies. Overseas VAs run about $5 to $15 an hour depending on experience. “Cheap” and “good” comes from the vetting and training, not the hire. Run a test call before hiring, look for strong English, sales experience, and coachability. Then give them a clear script and review call recordings weekly. Expect 2 to 3 weeks of heavy training up front.

We have been using BatchDialer which has been our go-to for cold calling. We pair it with PropStream or Propwire for pulling lists, and Launch Control for our texting platform

Texting as a marketing channel could be a better move here @M G
