Good work to hand off first

  • clean duplicate contacts
  • send first follow-up from a script
  • book qualified calls
  • update lead stage and next task

Keep these guardrails

A simple ramp plan

Day 5: review replies, booked calls, and wrong-fit leads

Provider script

Copy this into your first call.

"We want to start with a small pilot for crm and lead follow-up assistant work. The first tasks are listed and repeat each week. Can you explain who screens the assistant, who checks quality, how replacement works, and how tool access is removed if we stop?"

FAQ

Is this lead generation?

This role is best for follow-up and CRM admin. Cold outreach and sales strategy need separate management.

What scripts should we give the assistant?

Give one short first follow-up, one reminder, one break-up email, and one handoff note for hot replies.
