In short

- Every call, email and meeting logged in the CRM the same day
- Duplicates merged, required fields filled, stale deals closed or revived
- A pipeline report you can trust at Monday's sales meeting

## How does cRM management work in Canada?

A Canadian CRM carries a compliance job as well as a sales job. Every contact needs a consent basis recorded, express or implied, with the date and the source, because implied consent from an existing business relationship expires two years after the qualifying event and CASL puts the burden of proof on you. Add National DNCL screening dates for anything that gets called, a language preference field for Quebec contacts and a retention rule that satisfies Law 25, and the database becomes something that has to be maintained rather than filled. Your assistant does both. Month one is usually a clean-up: duplicates merged, dead deals closed, provinces and postal codes normalized, missing fields recovered from email history, consent basis backfilled where it can be evidenced and flagged where it cannot. After that the routine runs: leads assigned within the hour on your shift, stages updated from rep notes, sequences built and paused on opt-out, and a pipeline report before your Monday meeting. Quotes are in CAD.

## What is different about running this desk in Canada?

The same desk, run to the rules, hours and vocabulary of this market.

1. ### Consent fields that satisfy CASL
Each record carries the consent type, the source, the date and, for implied consent, the expiry. The assistant adds these properties where your CRM lacks them and backfills from the form, event or email the contact came in on. Records with no evidence are flagged rather than assumed, and a monthly report lists implied consents about to expire so you can re-permission before they lapse.
2. ### DNCL screening dates on the record
Any contact that will be called carries the date the list was last washed against the National Do Not Call List and the result. The CRTC's Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules also govern calling hours by province, so the record holds the province and time zone rather than leaving a rep to guess. Opt-outs from any channel are applied across every channel the same day.
3. ### Law 25 retention and deletion
Quebec's Law 25 expects a defined retention period and a response to deletion requests. The assistant runs your retention rules monthly, lists records due for archive or deletion, and acts on your sign-off with a log of what went. Deletion requests that reach the assistant are flagged to your privacy officer the same day rather than handled quietly inside the database.
4. ### What CRM support costs in Canada
Canada-based virtual assistants publish C$25 to C$60 an hour, a revenue operations hire in Toronto or Vancouver costs considerably more loaded, and managed offshore assistants are advertised at US$699 to US$899 a month full time (Virtual Gurus, VantaStaff, Wing and 2026 roundups).

## What does your assistant handle?

- Daily logging of calls, emails, meetings and next steps per deal
- Deal stages, amounts and close dates chased and corrected
- Duplicate detection and merging across contacts, companies and deals
- Required-field audits so reporting and automations do not break
- Contact and company enrichment from your own sources
- List segmentation, static and dynamic, for campaigns and territories
- Email sequences and workflows built, tested and documented
- Lead scoring rules maintained and reviewed with your sales lead
- Consent, opt-out and do-not-call status recorded on every record
- Pipeline, activity and source reports rebuilt each week
- Dashboard for the sales meeting, refreshed before it starts
- Change log of every bulk edit, import and merge the assistant runs

## Deliverables and KPIs

| Deliverable | KPI we report |
| --- | --- |
| Contacts deduplicated and complete | Duplicate rate and records with required fields filled |
| Leads assigned and stages current | Minutes from lead to assignment, deals untouched for 30 days |
| Consent and DNCL fields recorded | Share of records carrying basis, source and screening date |
| Sequences built and maintained | Sequences live, opt-outs applied the same day |
| Monday pipeline report | Delivered before the sales meeting, every week |

## How it works

1. ### Match
A 20-minute discovery call on which CRM you run, how many records and users sit in it, what your deal stages mean, which reports your leadership actually reads and what is broken today. Within 72 hours we propose a named assistant who has worked in your CRM daily, plus a trained backup.
2. ### Onboard
Week one is an audit: record counts, duplicate rate, empty required fields, dead deals, broken workflows and unsubscribed contacts still in sequences. You get the findings as a short list with a fix order. The assistant gets a user account with the permissions you choose, then works the list from the top.
3. ### Daily rhythm
The assistant logs activity as it happens, chases reps for missing next steps, merges duplicates found that day, clears workflow errors and updates any deal that moved. The end-of-day report shows deals updated, records merged, fields filled and anything a rep needs to confirm before tomorrow.
4. ### Weekly review
20 minutes with the team lead: pipeline hygiene score, duplicate and completion rates, sequence performance, workflow errors and the clean-up target for next week. Monthly, the team lead audits a sample of records and bulk edits against the change log to check nothing was overwritten.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a CRM virtual assistant cost in Canada?

Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. For orientation, Canada-based virtual assistants publish C$25 to C$60 an hour, a revenue operations hire in Toronto or Vancouver costs substantially more once benefits are loaded, and managed offshore assistants are advertised at US$699 to US$899 a month full time (Virtual Gurus, VantaStaff, Wing and 2026 roundups). We quote in CAD, and a clean-up month is scoped inside the same plan.

### Do you have CRM staff in Canada?

No. Your assistant is employed by SS Support Network LLC and works Canadian hours from the group's offices in Vancouver, Washington and a second office in Pakistan. They are trained on CASL consent categories, National DNCL screening and Canadian address formats before touching a live database. We have no Canadian office and we do not use freelancers, so the person who cleaned your records is the person who keeps them clean. Tell us at the first call if you need staff resident in Canada.

### What does the first month actually look like?

A clean-up with a number attached. The assistant audits the database, reports duplicate counts, empty required fields, stale deals and records with no evidenced consent, then works through them in an agreed order with a weekly count of what moved. Merges follow a rule you approve about which record wins. Nothing is deleted without sign-off. By the end of month one you have a database you can report from and a written list of what could not be recovered.

### Can the assistant build automations and sequences?

Yes, inside your CRM's native tools and tested on a sandbox contact first. Lead routing, task creation, stage-change alerts and email sequences are built to a specification you approve. Every sequence checks the consent field before enrolling a contact and carries an unsubscribe, so a CASL problem cannot be automated at scale. Each workflow is documented with its trigger, steps and owner, and the list is reviewed quarterly to retire what nobody uses.

### How do you handle a bilingual contact database?

With a language preference field that actually gets used. The assistant sets it on every record from the source of the contact, routes French-preference contacts to French templates, and keeps the two template sets in step so a change to one is made to the other. Where a bilingual assistant is on your account, which is available on request, French records are worked directly. Where one is not, those contacts are held for your own staff.

### What does the Monday report include?

One page, built in your CRM's reporting tool or a shared sheet and sent before your sales meeting. Pipeline by stage and owner with movement since last week, new leads by source and province, deals with no activity for 30 days, sequences running with their reply rates, consent records expiring soon, and a short list of records the assistant could not complete without a rep. The format is fixed in month one so weeks are comparable.
