About InoVA Local InoVA Local is a virtual assistant agency specializing in home service businesses — cleaning companies, landscaping, HVAC, and more. We don't just answer phones — we run the back office for our clients so their businesses can grow without the chaos. Our VAs are the voice, the scheduler, the closer, and the problem solver all in one.

About the Role We're looking for a sharp, personable Virtual Assistant who thrives on the phone, knows how to sell, and can essentially run the day-to-day operations of a home service business. This isn't a typical VA role. You're the first voice customers hear, the person closing bookings, and the one keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

This role is ideal for someone with open daytime availability who wants the flexibility of working from home. Hours start part-time with real potential to grow as your client roster scales.

What You'll Be Doing

Answering and managing inbound calls on behalf of clients
Converting leads into booked appointments — you're not just taking calls, you're closing them
Following up with prospects and handling objections confidently
Scheduling, customer communication, and day-to-day operations management
Representing your client's brand with professionalism and genuine warmth

What We're Looking For

Confident and comfortable on the phone — this is a phone-first role
Sales experience is required — you need to be able to close a booking, handle a hesitant customer, and follow up without being pushy
Prior virtual assistant, remote work, or customer service experience
Highly organized, self-motivated, and reliable
Personable enough that clients' customers feel like they're talking to someone who genuinely cares
Available Monday–Friday with an 8-hour on-call window
Home services industry experience is a major plus

Why InoVA Local

100% remote
Flexible, work-from-home schedule
Start part-time with real potential to grow your hours
Be part of a small, fast-growing team that actually invests in its people
