Some clients who need telemarketing services hire 2 VA’s which each one working only 4 hours every day; the first one works in the morning and the second in the afternoon.
This set up allows the client to have 8 hours of continuous telemarketing work. Because each VA only works 4 hours, they are less tired, work with greater focus and are not required to take 30-minute breaks.
On a 22-day work schedule, this set up adds 11 more hours of productivity for the client.
