The service industries use virtual assistants and assistant companies, which can provide individuals to handle seller and buyer calls. Some of these companies train their employees where the scripted contents help to improve services and such services can produce significant leads. Some owners can sell leads and one can source it online or hire assistants to handle the leads. Some websites sell lists that can be used and reused. Such lists can help to drop emails, stamp, and prints and to create new leads.
