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

• Schedule estimate appointments
• Follow the company’s established conversational call script
• Build rapport with warm leads and provide a friendly, professional customer experience
• Follow up consistently with leads and customers
• Escalate technical painting questions to the appropriate team member when needed
• Leads are primarily inbound, and the emphasis is on communication, relationship-building, follow-up, and moving qualified customers toward a scheduled estimate appointment

Office & Operations Support

• Maintain accurate lead, customer, and job information in DripJobs
• 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
• Monitor open tasks and flag items requiring owner attention
• Keep backend records and deadlines organized
• Help develop and improve checklists, workflows, and SOPs

Coordination & Follow-Through

• Proactively identify missing information, unpaid deposits, incomplete tasks, or upcoming deadlines
• Follow up with team members or outside contacts as appropriate
• Help the owners stay on top of outstanding operational items
• Assist with coordinating marketing activities and ensuring assigned marketing tasks are completed

Each engagement is based on a defined scope of work and is governed by an independent contractor agreement. Services must be performed professionally, with adherence to any timelines, guidelines, and deliverables agreed upon in writing.
