Deliverables and KPIs
AssistBPO reports 6 measures on the influencer outreach desk: what lands on your desk, what we count, and how often you see the number.
| Deliverable | KPI we report | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| Qualified prospects added | New vetted creators or partners per week | Weekly |
| Outreach sent and followed up | Messages sent, reply rate, follow-ups on time | Daily, in the end-of-day report |
| Partnerships confirmed | Agreements signed against the monthly target | Weekly review |
| Content delivered | Posts live on the agreed dates with disclosure | Per campaign |
| Results tracked | Reach, engagement, clicks, code use and revenue by creator | Monthly report |
| Tracker accuracy QA | Team lead audit of the pipeline sheet | Monthly |
KPIs are what we measure and report, agreed per engagement in the weekly review. Service-level commitments are set in your agreement, not on this page.
How does the influencer outreach desk work?
-
Match
A 20-minute discovery call on your audience, ideal creators, budget rules and past campaigns. Within 72 hours we propose a named outreach assistant with a track record in your category, plus a trained backup.
-
Onboard
You share your brand guide, rate card, deliverable standards, disclosure requirements and any creator history. We build the vetting criteria, the outreach templates in your voice, the brief and agreement templates, and the tracker in Airtable, Notion or your CRM. The first ten prospects are approved by you before outreach starts.
-
Daily rhythm
The assistant starts with replies and follow-ups due, then prospects new creators, sends approved outreach, updates the tracker, routes content for approval and logs any post that went live. The end-of-day report shows messages sent, replies, confirmations and anything waiting on your decision.
-
Weekly review
Twenty minutes with the team lead: pipeline by stage, reply rates, partnerships confirmed, posts due and the budget position. Next week's targets are set on the call. Monthly, the team lead audits the tracker on the QA scorecard and reviews the campaign report with you.
Hours, coverage and models
AssistBPO staffs the influencer outreach desk on 3 models. US Eastern to Pacific, UK and Canadian business hours from the group's two offices; Australian Eastern shifts available on request. Outreach is sent in each creator's local business hours.
- Dedicated outreach assistant, 80 or 160 hours a month

These are rate-card starting points. What you pay depends on the hours, the desk and the coverage window, which is what the staffing plan sets. Rates improve as you add assistants. Your staffing plan states the rate for the number of seats you need. The rate card carries the other currencies, the add-ons and the six things that move a plan off it.
How much does influencer outreach cost?

Frequently asked questions
How much does an influencer outreach virtual assistant cost?
Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. For orientation, PayScale lists US virtual assistants at $19.45 an hour on average and Indeed at $27.15, while marketplace freelancers sit around $13 an hour with higher turnover (Wishup 2026; Zedtreeo and Nacho). AssistBPO prices a dedicated assistant per person for a block of hours; creator fees and gifting costs are yours and are logged in the tracker.
How do you find the right creators?
From your criteria: niche, audience location, follower band, engagement quality, content style and brands they already work with. The assistant searches platforms, hashtags, competitor tags, creator marketplaces and podcast and newsletter directories, then vets each candidate for fake engagement and audience fit. You approve the first shortlist before any outreach, and the criteria tighten from your feedback.
Will the outreach sound like a template?
No. Each message references the creator's recent content, says why they fit and states the offer plainly, written from templates you approve and adapted by hand. Messages go from your accounts, so replies land with you and the assistant. Follow-ups are spaced on a schedule you set and stop when someone declines.
Can the assistant negotiate rates?
Within a rate card and deliverable standard you set in writing, yes. Anything above the card, or any unusual usage or exclusivity request, is flagged in the end-of-day report for your call. Agreements are issued from your template and countersigned before product ships or content is briefed.
Do you handle gifting and product seeding?
Yes. The assistant collects addresses, places orders in your store or with your 3PL, sends tracking, confirms delivery, chases the post on the agreed date and logs it. For larger programs the tracker shows every unit shipped against posts received, so you can see which creators deliver.
How do you track results?
Every partnership has a row in the tracker with deliverables, dates, live links, reach, engagement, discount code or affiliate link, redemptions and revenue where your store reports it. The monthly report ranks creators by cost per result, and the weekly review looks at pipeline and posts due. Data comes from your platforms and the creators' screenshots.
What about disclosure rules?
Every brief includes the disclosure the creator must use: FTC Endorsement Guides in the US, ASA and CAP Code in the UK, Competition Bureau guidance in Canada and ACCC and AANA rules in Australia. The assistant checks each live post for the tag or label and asks for a correction if it is missing before the post is logged as delivered.
Can you run podcast and newsletter outreach for a founder?
Yes. The same pipeline works for B2B: shows and newsletters in your space are researched and vetted, pitches go from your founder's email with a one-page speaker sheet, bookings are coordinated with your calendar, and each appearance is tracked with the link and the leads it produced. The podcast support assistant can prepare the founder for each recording.
