BUILD
Instruct your VA to make a complete list of potential connections using the criteria you've set. They should search on LinkedIn, check out profiles that match, and put together a database of potential connections. Also, create ready-to-use scripts so your VA can easily reply when someone responds to your messages. This makes the process smoother.
Example: Thank you for connecting message - How would you want to thank the lead for accepting your request
Call to Action Message - Explain your service and how it will benefit the lead
Your VA will then build the list of leads in a Google sheet with the information that you asked for.
