Facebook Marketplace Posts

We are not just looking for a Virtual Assistant to just fill a job. This position is a stepping stone to joining a cutting edge business coaching & digital marketing agency.

As you review the description, we welcome any questions you may have about the position or our team. The position will start 5-10 hours per week and gradually increase to 30 hours per week over a 30 day period as we train you. All possibilities for raises based upon work performance.

This posting is for an audition. We will be selecting 3 – 5 candidates to hire for a test project. After seeing your work, we’ll choose who to bring on to the team. Strong English grammar is the only “requirement” for this position, basic Spanish language training is helpful by not required, (we can train you on everything else).

Position Overview
Your role will be creating Facebook Marketplace listings for cars and trucks and then responding to the messages for each listing. Each week we post 80+ vehicle listings on Facebook Marketplace and respond to hundreds of messages which results in 5-10 sales per week. You will be given a list of vehicles to post and the website to get the photos and the information for each vehicle.

It will be your job to take that information and produce:
+Facebook Marketplace Listing
+Respond to each message in a timely manner
+Ask them basic questions
+Schedule a test drive or Have them fill out an application to finance

The requirements of each are listed below:

+Facebook Marketplace Listing
Using the list of vehicle and the website, which has the details and photos of each vehicle, you will create the initial marketplace post for sale.

+Respond to each message in a timely manner
After you post the vehicle for sale, messages will start to come in and will need to be responded to in a timely manner (best time period is 5-10 minutes). If they are interested in the vehicle, you should direct them to come in for a test drive or fill out an online application for finance.

This will require to you have a solid understanding of English and basic grammar skills as you will be responding to customer questions as if you lived here locally.

+Ask them basic questions
Most of the time you will be responding to “is it still available” and you will be trying to engage them to talk to you about what they are looking for and them persuade them to come in and test drive the vehicle and/or fill out a credit application.

+Schedule a test drive or have them fill out an application to finance
The sale is made when they come in and test drive the vehicle, that is when they decide to buy. You will be asking them to come in to test drive and to talk to Kevin. It is important that they ask for Kevin so that our company can be paid for the referral.

Qualities Needed to be Successful
Skills are something that can be learned and perfected over time. As corny as it sounds, there are 3 qualities that we are looking for:

Integrity, Commitment, and Desire to Learn

Integrity. You are a good fit if you can be honest with your fellow team members. Open communication and honesty are paramount to myself and the team. If you aren’t able to hit a deadline or made a mistake, be upfront about it, we are all human after all.

Commitment. We’ve had freelancers for one project and others for over 10 years. We are looking for someone who is looking for a long term relationship with the expectations that this will become full time. If you’re just looking for a few months of work, this is not for you.

Desire to Learn. We are a small team, but growing fast. We want people who are open to learning new skills and taking on new projects. If you’re not excited about improving your skills and trying something new; this is not for you.

If this sound like you, please apply below and I will personally read your application, work samples and answer any questions you may have (seriously, the more questions the better!) In your proposal please start the first line with “Starship Enterprise” so that I know you actually read the complete job description.

Thank you for your time!
