What Exactly is Vicky Virtual?
Vicky Virtual is a virtual assistant company, which began in 2014, that hires virtual assistants to basically answer the phones for companies.

Outside of answering the telephone, Vicky Virtuals also schedule appointments or forward messages from those phone calls as well as they perform basic administrative tasks. Each client will have a team of 4 to 6 virtual assistants to answer their phone calls. You could be answering the phone for several different clients at the same time. Some clients will provide a script to be read and some will basically leave it up to you to engage the customer.
Calls may be inbound or outbound and from those calls you may set appointments, make dinner or lunch reservations, and/or educate a client on a service or product.
Clients may choose several different plans. There are:
- The Starter is $99 a month and includes 75 minutes.
- The Entrepreneur is $199 a month and includes 180 minutes.
- The Executive is $299 a month and includes 300 minutes.
All plans are on a month-to-month basis with the client receiving a 7-day free trial. Should the client require more than 300 minutes per month, then a custom plan may be set up by the company for the client.
