Integration Today – How Even Your Business is Functioning like E-Commerce

e-Commerce, Inside Sales, Marketing, MOD Virtual Assistants, Recruitment

(Sales Development Strategies)  Today’s preference for e-commerce has brought in a whole new way of doing business that benefits some and harms others. As a CEO and entrepreneur, it’s on you to ensure the internet is always to the advantage of your business.

Still, many are not considering the effects of the e-commerce business trend. Those who are at a disadvantage due to e-commerce are losing out on business and income, but there is no indication that it will be over soon.

In this article, you’ll find out:

  • Physical businesses aren’t tapping into their online resources enough!
  • E-commerce strategies work with any business to INCREASE market share
  • What fresh “WORK FROM HOME” businesses need to consider for virtual success
  • Sales development strategies by leveraging remote work
  • What is the history of e-commerce?

Whether you know it or not, ALL businesses already incorporate e-commerce functions in parts of their operations.

 

Integrating a physical business into the online marketplace

 

Even when operating from a commercial location might be necessary, business owners of franchise locations, medical offices, brokerages, financial services, and further professional firms CAN FURTHER BENEFIT their already-existing online presence.

 

How? By leveraging the e-commerce style operations

What are those? How is my physical business already virtual?

 

Your business is already functioning like in an e-commerce standpoint because:

  1. Your business is listed on search engines (Hours, phone number, location)
    Yelp, Google, Bing, Facebook
  2. You use email, contact forms, and further messaging platforms
  3. You might be already setting & confirming appointments online
  4. Your newsletters and campaigns are online

It seems to be rather obvious that, in the modern age of technology and connectivity, we have come up with many new ways of doing things that were previously done via traditional methods or other means.

HOWEVER, THERE IS MUCH MORE TO LEVERAGE ONLINE!

To learn exactly how to leverage e-commerce strategies for your business, continue to “Sales Development Strategies.”

History of e-commerce & e-commerce strategies

 

E-commerce (also known as electronic commerce, e-business, Internet business, or online shopping) is the buying and selling of products or services over computer networks.

It is an umbrella term used to describe the buying and selling of products or services over computer networks such as the Internet. This form of electronic business allows CEOs & entrepreneurs to conduct commercial transactions over the Internet. It includes retailing, services, and entertainment.

 

Why has e-commerce become so widespread in today’s marketplace?
  1. The first reason is the advent of computers and their widespread use. Computers provide unprecedented efficiency for businesses, allowing small ventures to compete with big ones.
  2. The second reason is the advent of the internet. The internet allows for easy communication between businesses, customers, and suppliers.
  3. The third reason is the availability and relative ease of use of mobile technology such as smartphones. Mobile technology allows for access to information on demand, which in turn provides people with more choices.
  4. The fourth reason is the relative ease of setting up online businesses, which are cheap to set up and don’t require a lot of overhead.
  5. The fifth reason is the relative ease of setting up online stores on sites such as Amazon, where sellers can easily set up and start selling their products with very little overhead.

E-commerce is the embodiment of a more equal, globalized playing field for anyone to tap into a data-driven and information-driven network and grab more market share.

Is e-commerce the future for every small business?

 

Small businesses that incorporate e-commerce style practices have seen how it has greatly changed the way they communicate, sell and buy.

The negative effect of e-commerce is that it has also hurt traditional businesses. Brick and mortar stores have been closing at an alarming rate.

Thus, more traditional businesses are adapting by hybridizing their operations, being able to reap the benefits of accessing an online marketplace for the physical location. People are simply not going out anymore unless they have a reason!

Sales Development Strategies + Case Study

There are three universal ways to think about sales development strategy. Which approaches are you taking for accelerating your results & profitability?=

Most CEOs & entrepreneurs say they rely on one (or all) of these approaches:

  1. Relationship-driven service & value using excellent people skills & soft skills.
  2. Numbers-driven decision-making based on reports & data (such as a daily number of leads, average close rates, etc.)
  3. Heavy emphasis on marketing and creating content for attracting & converting leads.

Sometimes a company will use all approaches, they hire different talents to fill each capacity. For example, one person may be great at talking to people on the phone. Another person might be great at networking and bringing in new leads from other companies or industries. A third person might be great at creating content to attract visitors to their site and then converting them into leads.

Luckily, we offer relentless talent matching to support the growth and success of your business. You can benefit from adding new talent to your team!

Instilling effective change to keep your business thriving must be adopted at all levels. Here’s how.

 

 

Experience The Difference
MyOutDesk can save you up to 70% on employment costs

Learn: Bulletproof Systems & Process (MOD Style)

  1. Document the process (Play-Pause-Do)
  2. Add it to a system (IT & project management)
  3. Create a training guide
  4. Create a presentation about the standard
  5. Creating change – Name it, Brand it, Wear it, Teach it, Institutionalize it, Reward it.  

 

In today’s global economy, many companies are leveraging talent between both physical and remote employees. To prepare — when your organization implements a new remote work culture or hires a MOD Virtual Professional, they will need to be onboarded and trained like any other employee. At the same time, the team will determine and adapt to best practices, technological tools, and procedures for training a strong blended team.

 

Document the process (Play-Pause-Do)

Try the Play, Pause, Do Method. This method requires that every standard operating procedure has a video attached alongside all written documentation. What is it exactly? It’s step-by-step, documentation that outlines each of your processes and what to do when things go awry.

This method is part of crafting your Virtual Playbook. You will be amazed at how efficiently you can bring all employees up to speed when you have a play-by-play, documented process.

Craft your own FREE Virtual Playbook, and schedule your ‘Grow Virtual’ Business Strategy Session now to learn more!

 

Add it to a system (IT & project management)

Use a task assignment & management platform.

There are many services to choose from to help organize tasks and projects. Choose from Slack, Microsoft Teams, Workplace from Facebook, Monday.com, Trello, Asana, and many more.

Here at MyOutDesk, the Monday.com platform has worked well to keep our team organized.

 

Create a training guide

A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of step-by-step instructions compiled by an organization to help workers carry out complex routine operations. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output, and uniformity of performance while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with industry regulations.

With any new hire, it is important to have SOPs in place. SOPs ensure that tasks are completed in a uniform manner throughout the organization. Download MyOutDesk’s FREE SOP Guide & Sample here.

 

Create a presentation about the standard

Use visuals to articulate your messages. Videos and images can greatly improve communication among virtual teams. Visual learning is the most effective training tool. Invest your time right and create video documentation to get your employees up to speed in working uniformly!

Video conference calls are the new (virtual) conference rooms and allow team members to show body language, facial expressions, posture, and hand gestures—all important aspects of communication. A more in-person experience encourages all to have more open communication and build trust.

Best of all — all video meetings can be recorded & used in the future. (You can save your breath a bit. No need to keep repeating yourself!)

Creating Change

Name it, Brand it, Wear it, Teach it, Institutionalize it, Reward it.  

The Organizational Change Model is a great framework to bring change into effect and to breathe life into any idea, any concept, any organizational culture change, and procedural change.

Here is the framework we use at MyOutDesk.

Let’s turn your list of ideas into existence. Pass them through this Organizational Change Model framework:

  1. Name it
  2. Brand it
  3. Wear it
  4. Teach it
  5. Institutionalize it
  6. Reward/Recognize it

Understand and apply the framework: Read more.

 

Don’t do this alone, but with the MOD Family.

US Economic Recovery Tracker + Solutions for Your Business

From our businesses to our homes & our groceries, Covid-19 has disrupted every aspect of our lives. While CNN Business is tracking America’s economic recovery, we examine the most important points.

 

It’s safe to say — your business will never be the same post-pandemic.

  • Office workers have shifted to working from home (See also: Remote Work Success)
  • Millions of other Americans have filed for unemployment  (See also: Labor Market Opportunities)
  • Essential workers in hospitals & grocery stores are hailed as everyday heroes

 

During the pandemic, Americans have tightened their spending and chosen to save more, as they grapple with a historically weak job market. (See also: Preparing for AFTER COVID-19)

 

It definitely got harder to sell your home during the pandemic. No open houses. Virtual closings. And many owners hesitated to put their homes on the market. (See also: Virtual Residential Real Estate Trends)

As of July 4th, the total hours worked in small businesses is down 52.61% since before the pandemic.

 

The unfamiliarity of what the future holds is the source of the roller-coaster of emotions. And, the best best way to ultimately overcome this recession is to ramp up on staying informed and mitigating risk.

One factor has remained the same — businesses and customers want speed & efficiency. And in today’s stay-at-home culture, experienced virtual assistants who are well-practiced in providing an effective remote operation are the key to business growth.

 

Solution: Why Virtual Assistants?

You are probably wondering, why hire a Virtual Assistant then? Why not just hire someone in-house? If cost was your immediate concern then a Virtual Assistant is exactly what you need. You save on office space, you don’t need to buy the equipment and if you work with a company like MyOutDesk, all HR concerns are handled for you. Beyond the monetary cost is lower, you will also have a larger pool of talent to choose from, thus guaranteeing that you find a perfect match for you and your business.

 

Dynamic business duo Olivia Cooley & Charles Pulliam share:

“Without virtual assistants (VAs), it limits us and we have more responsibilities in-house. A VA is significantly more affordable to the business pattern. We get more value for the price. This is essential and instrumental for our growth, not only now but long-term… 3 to 5 years out, we will continue to grow our number of VAs.”

Remote Work Has Never Been Managed Easier

High-caliber providers of virtual assistants & remote work services should provide you with the tools you need to easily manage and track the productivity of your virtual assistant & remote employees.

Typically, when you hire a virtual assistant, you have to provide these kinds of productivity tracking systems yourself. MyOutDesk understands the importance of having these systems in place, so we created the top virtual assistant platform for our clients.

Manage your virtual assistant’s (or assistants’) department, teams, service accounts, schedule & PTO, and payroll.

  • Real-Time Visibility – This feature allows you to have real-time visibility into your Virtual Assistant’ productivity as they are working during their shift. You get real-time status updates, so you are never left in the dark as to what your Virtual Assistant is working on!
  • Billing and Invoicing – Through our client portal, you can also keep track of your billing and invoices. You can manage your information and view and print your invoices as well. You won’t need to wait for anyone to send you your invoice or call anyone as all the information will be ready for you here.
  • Work History – On MyTimeIn, you will be able to access historical data on your Virtual Assistant’s work hours.
  • Support – If you need any assistance with your Virtual Assistant, say, for example, you need help to train them on a particular system, or you want to change their schedule—whatever need arises, you can get support by merely logging in to our Client Portal.

The Stats: Blended Teams Outperform Competitors

Stanford Studies have shown that remote workers show increased productivity by 16%. Those who work from home seem to be more focused with fewer distractions. They also found that employees working in open offices took 62% more sick days than virtual employees.

Deloitte’s Millennial Survey 2017 found that remote work arrangements are “strongly linked to improved performance and employee retention.” Furthermore, 38% of respondents reported they were likely to leave their current employer within the next two years, with much citing work/life balance and flexibility as major contributing factors.

Large companies are benefitting from using a blended employment model. In fact, a new regulation stemming from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has given us a clearer picture of the extent to which some of the largest U.S. companies employ global talent.

You might be surprised at the high percentages of global talent that successful companies have reported so far:

  • Kellogg: 80%
  • General Electric: 66%
  • United Technologies: 68%
  • Whirlpool: 80%
  • Merck: 55%
  • Honeywell: 58%
  • Hanes: 80%
  • Mattel: 78%
  • Wal-Mart: 35%

If these major companies employ this strategy, there is no reason that you cannot for your own business as well.

The Remote Work Success Method ☑: Creating Systems & A Culture of Productivity

Accelerator, MOD Virtual Assistants

Launch your remote teams & virtual assistants the right way & get results sooner with this checklist!

How to prepare for collaborative & productive remote work

In today’s global economy, many companies are leveraging talent between both physical and remote employees. 

When your organization transitions to remote work or hires a virtual assistant, they will need to be on-boarded and trained like any other employee. At the same time, the team will determine and adapt to best practices, technological tools, and procedures for training a strong blended (remote & physical) team.

Luckily, MyOutDesk offers training materials and resources that will help prepare you to interact successfully with a virtual team member. We equip all clients with a service portal, a dedicated account manager, and a virtual solutions trainer.

Remote Team Success: Launch Checklist – ☑

Setting clear objectives is foundational to a successful team. On a weekly basis, reiterate your goals and procedures to allow the team to access how they can best contribute. When virtual professionals are given a collaborative space to voice their thoughts, you can see how productive and collaborative remote teams can be for your business.

To ensure our ongoing success, ensure you clearly note procedures on:

 

✔ Phone/email/messaging

Encourage open communication, and use the platform as a means to carry the same conversations that you would otherwise have in the office.

How will you communicate and how often?

    • Establish the best way to communicate – preferably via a real-time medium such as:
      • Skype, Google Meet, Ring Central, Slack, and/or a VOIP phone system
    • Discuss alternate means of communication – email, text
    • Client can provide VP with an office email specific to their role in the business  
    • Leverage different types of communication with VP, not just email

 

 

✔ Training and Supervision

Neuroscientists and psychologists proved that it takes about 90 days to solidify a habit. The same goes for a remote team still figuring out how to work best together—for successful adoption, allow an adjustment period and repeat key messages regarding the change intentionally and consistently. By doing so, you will get everyone on the same page.

What is your plan for training for your Virtual Professional and who is the main point of contact?

    • Refer to SOP Framework & Play, Pause, Do
    • Foster an effective work culture: Building a Remote Culture & Organizational Change Model

Consistently train and repeat key messages, as well as regularly use effective frameworks like SOPs (Point 3) and Play-Pause-Do (Point 7). These guides are part of the 7-Figure Business Roadmap, and additional resources are available through a free strategy call with MyOutDesk.

 

✔ Productivity

A variety of organizational tools will help employees and the business stay productive. Here are some tips and trips to immediately keep teams accountable and for managers to recognize patterns in productivity. Remember that during an adjustment period to remote work, employers should not expect employees to immediately produce the same amount of productivity.

When will you set up Virtual Professional logins to essential tools such as CRMs or other databases?

    • Use a password manager, like 1Password.
    • Manage projects & tasks with Trello, Asana, or Monday.com.
    • Store files on a cloud drive, like Google Drive.

 

 

✔ Scheduling

Videos and images can greatly improve communication among virtual teams. Video conference calls are the new (virtual) conference rooms and allow team members to show body language, facial expressions, posture, and hand gestures—all important aspects of communication. A

Find time to meet regularly & Confirm Virtual Professional work schedule & client availability restrictions

    • Manage schedules & track productivity on the MyTimeIn Client Portal
    • Submit support tickets for further assistance

 

Key Takeaways

Remote work requires an adjustment period for all employees. A business cannot simply apply the same systems and procedures from the physical office and expect the same productive output immediately. Treat the transition to remote as a retraining process where employees need to relearn how to work effectively in this new environment.

It is important for the management to maintain a fully supportive and flexible state of mind. Encourage and communicate a reasonable adjustment period for allowing mistakes, offering training, and consistently repeating key messages in order to foster a fully functional remote workforce. Key themes to embody at this time are that your team is a connected, supportive, and positive force; and mistakes are reinterpreted as positive opportunities.

We have a vested interest in your success! Every MyOutDesk client wants to maximize the ROI on their investment in virtual assistants. Our CEO Daniel Ramsey hosts a live mastermind discussion with MyOutDesk clients and discusses tactical, practical & utterly invaluable strategies to best utilize a virtual assistant while you scale your business!

  • College-educated professionals who will work in your time zone.
  • Skilled with experiences desired by your organization.
  • Extensively screened and vetted through MyOutDesk.
  • Interviewed by your organization prior to being hired.
What will a MOD Virtual Professional bring to my team?

MOD Virtual Professionals will be a dedicated team members and trained by your organization. Since certain tasks and responsibilities can be distracting and preventing your team from focusing on more important work, they will be assigned to focus on a particular need within administrative duties, sales, communications, or another function. In short, the virtual assistant will specialize in specific business needs and save the team’s time and energy for their own projects.

Our virtual professionals, serving MyOutDesk’s 7500 clients, are responsible for phone calls, emails, paperwork, data, appointments, social media, IT, data maintenance, and much more — specific to the client’s industry.

For example, in sales, a MOD Virtual Professional would make appointments and handle prospecting calls for the entire day. In marketing, they would learn your company’s brand and voice to support with email campaigns and a full-time social media presence. For the reception, they would answer all incoming calls, book meetings, and triage the caller’s request. Once your hired virtual assistant is fully onboarded and equipped, expect to see overall increased productivity and improved results in your team.

Preparing for a MOD Virtual Professional & A Blended Organizational Model

In today’s global economy, many companies are leveraging talent between both physical and remote employees. Small- and mid-sized businesses increasingly have remote workers. This means businesses are adopting a blended organizational model. Most top US corporations developed a blended model over the last five decades.

To prepare — when your organization hires a MOD Virtual Professional, they will need to be onboarded and trained like any other employee. At the same time, the team will determine and adapt to best practices, technological tools, and procedures for training a strong blended team.

MyOutDesk offers training materials and resources that will help prepare you to interact successfully with a virtual team member. We equip all clients with a service portal, a dedicated account manager, and a virtual solutions trainer.
