Our Story
Here’s our story
Valerie Schlitt
Owner and Founder
Valerie Schlitt, started VSA Prospecting in 2001 from
her family room with two close friends as her first employees.
“Starting my own business was never something I thought about,” Valerie remembers, “Until I realized I had more of an entrepreneurial spirit than my corporate peers. I gravitated towards building something new. I loved generating tangible, quantifiable results that directly impacted the bottom line.”
VSA’s first client was an Elder Law Attorney who wanted some telephone calls made to connect him to other professionals who served seniors and their caregivers.
From there, the business started to take off. When more of Valerie’s colleagues realized that her team could make sales calls, VSA branched into B2B Appointment Setting, mostly for local businesses in the area. With each successful campaign, word started to spread, and we were increasingly approached by larger, more complex clients.
Our clients are no longer just local businesses, either. Most are funded start-ups, middle market, or enterprise companies that span multiple industries and are scattered throughout the country. VSA even counts several international firms as clients.
