[Considering a Virtual Assistant?]

Recruit and Retain

 

R&R has a different meaning from 9 to 5, and it isn’t rest and relaxation; it’s recruit and retain. We talk about exactly how to best do that, here in this webinar series with Dan Stewart, president of Happy Grasshopper.

[Virtual Success Webinar Series] This mastermind webinar shows you how to:

  • Leverage recruitment strategies. What you need to know to attract instead of recruit. Attract competitive talent without seemingly “recruiting.”
  • Nurture & break the cycle. Break the churn-and-burn cycle & nurture productivity with your current team.
  • Scale business & improve processes. Understand the entrepreneur’s scale strategy. Build an engine to efficiently process recruits & new hires.
  • Use VIRTUAL best practices. Metrics, tools, and filters. How to recruit remotely.

 

Key Takeaways
  • Identify, Attract, Retain. If you’re more certain of what you want, you WILL get it!
  • Know the Power of Questions. Slow down and think about the right questions to ask. What’s the purpose of your prosperity? What’s your overall GIANT GOAL?
    QUESTIONS lead to… CONVERSATIONS … which lead to RELATIONSHIPS … then to OPPORTUNITIES … and lastly to SALES. (Read more)
  • Recruitment is a process of EXIT and ARRIVAL EXIT. Receives a signal that they’ve outgrown their former life ARRIVAL – In a new, fantastic adventure, opportunity, career, or way of thinking. Ask yourself, “Are you going to be the HERO of the story, or the GUIDE, the MENTOR?” — YOU ARE THE GUIDE!
  • 2 Recruiting Styles. 1) OBI-WANs recruit and depart. They show up, and then they’re gone! 2) LUKEs stay on a mission with the recruit, someone they go to battle with. They stay on the mission together.

Blended Business Model: Remote Work with Traditional Employees & Virtual Assistants

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

We all know that businesses are thriving online in today’s information age. So why aren’t businesses proportionally blending their physical and remote practices?

Working from home is actually more productive than working from the office. According to studies from Stanford, it turns out work-from-home employees work a true full-shift (or more) versus being late to the office or leaving early multiple times a week and found it less distracting and easier to concentrate at home.

The fact that the Internet and other modernizations have globalized our economy gives you a chance to scale your business faster and further than ever before, using a blended business model, as many big companies do.

What exactly is a Blended Business Model?

A blended business model is an engineered organizational chart where part of an organization works in-house and another part works virtually.

Symptoms when without a Blended Business Model:

  • Company revenue productivity is suffering because most of your time as the CEO is spent on on-revenue efforts.
  • Your growth curve is flat because you’re stuck with administrative work.
  • You know you need support but do not want to go through the tedious process of hiring, only to have your hires leave after a period of time, thus putting you in a vicious cycle.
  • Your workload is starting to get overwhelming and the quality of your life is suffering.

Hiring Virtual Assistants solve a lot of problems and actually bring many benefits. For example, a full-time Virtual Assistant will cost you 25%-30% the cost of an in-house employee. A Virtual Assistant will have their own equipment and software, and will not take up any precious office space, so overhead costs are cut-down as well. Organizations like MyOutDesk cover HR concerns, benefits and even things like paid time off; while all you do is pay your monthly subscription.

Still curious about MyOutDesk Virtual Assistants? Schedule your Go Remote Business Strategy Session now to learn more!

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 many 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.

Implications of Outsourcing: Virtual Assistants + Traditional Employees = Growth

Employing a Virtual Assistant means that the company is making an investment for the entire team and looking to achieve the next level of excellence and performance. A Virtual Assistant is a full-time addition to the organization, but they will work with you virtually. They can shoulder specific daily responsibilities, help maintain smooth operations, and allow the physical team more freedom to focus on their work.

Imagine not needing to take every distracting phone call anymore, until a relevant call is forwarded to you!

We’re helping to level the business playing field by helping small & medium-sized businesses offshore as the big companies have for years. It doesn’t mean that jobs are going away, but it does mean that more work is available and more income is generated because entrepreneurs finally have the affordable help they need to close more transactions & generate more commissions.

Don’t do this alone. Come out stronger with MyOutDesk.

Virtual Assistants & Blended Teams

When we founded MyOutDesk 13 years ago, we realized that a virtual assistant living in the Philippines could do all of the clerical work online that an assistant could here in the USA for a fraction of the cost, and when we started helping small businesses to hire them we realized that it was a win-win proposition for everyone.

Virtual assistants have all the qualifications (and often more) than local labor, but at 1/3 the cost — which means you can afford to hire better help for a lower price, and you can afford to employ MORE of that help to grow your business. They’re high-quality labor, with great education and an outstanding work ethic, and available for wages that similarly qualified Americans typically won’t work for.

Blended teams are exciting because it finally means that entrepreneurs can employ a competitive advantage in their business formerly reserved only for top-tier manufacturing companies — like the folks who made your iPhone. Just like them, you’re able to delegate repetitive, non-dollar productive tasks to a virtual assistant, which in turn helps you focus your time & energy on what actually makes you money.

The fact that the Internet and other modernizations have globalized our economy gives you a chance to scale your business faster and further than ever before, using Virtual Assistant services. Demand for virtual talent is increasing because it works for most business owners. Simply put: it is good for business.

To learn more comprehensively about the blended business model (as well as other awesome strategy guides) schedule your Go Remote Business Strategy Session today and find our how a MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant can support you to boost your business.

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

/in , , , , /by

(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 for 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 you 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 who 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 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!

Getting GHOSTED by clients because of this one thing…

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Are your hot leads suddenly not responding anymore? When you seem to be hitting it off, this is probably why, all of a sudden, you’re getting ghosted.

Earlier today, a sales guy shared with me this extremely common incident:

“I had a great call, but now they’ve ghosted me. I don’t know what happened. We had some great conversations, and it felt good. I liked them, and they seemed to like me … BUT I can’t get them back on the phone!”

Building Rapport Requires COMPETENCY & SINCERITY

Here’s the thing. Foundational in the sales process, building rapport is akin to building trust. You can build rapport either by showing your competency or your sincerity.

  1. Showing your competency means that “I know what I’m doing, and I can help you.”
  2. Showing your sincerity means that “I actually care about you and your success.”

These are the two ways to establish trust and ultimately grow your rapport.

Building rapport is only the first step. Your rapport alone is NOT going to get leads to call you back.

 

Salespeople getting ‘ghosted’ are missing: CREATING VALUE

Building trust and rapport is only going to get leads to have the conversation with you & listen to what you have to say – but they aren’t going to call you back unless you create value.

How do I get them to actually be in a client relationship with me?

Adding value is the quality that all salespeople struggle with. It takes intention to uniquely engage each lead. The questions you should be asking yourself with every call are:

  • How can I add value to somebody’s life?
  • What expertise and qualities can I contribute to somebody’s business? to my clients?

In every industry, whether your role is an insurance broker, a real estate agent, a mortgage person, a construction person, you must answer you are continually adding value in every interaction … and that’s how you get them to call you back.

 

It’s time to maximize your productivity:
Leverage virtual assistants!

 

If you’re struggling to get people to call you back, you need to implore your customers and ask for feedback. The best sales professionals will ask the:

  • How’s your progress going today?
  • Do you feel like I’m helping you?
  • Do you feel like I’m adding value to your business?

 

If they respond along the lines of …

  • “I want you in my world moving forward … Would you support me?” 
  • “This has really changed my thinking”
  • “I appreciate the great ideas you’ve taught me”

 … That’s when you know that you’ve added value.

 

Salespeople have to overcome this hurdle and break down the difference between building rapport and adding value. Once you distinguish yourself with these concepts you’ll get your customers to call you back.

They share important stories & examples of business owners who are doing it and all the lessons which they have learned.

 

 

What Management Is Learning from the COVID-19 Shutdown

There is hardly a business in America which has not been adversely impacted by the corona virus pandemic. Yet many are learning how to thrive, even while their employees are working remotely for the first time ever.

Daniel Ramsey shares lessons which he has learned from many of these business leaders who have chosen to tackle the challenges of the COVID-19 shutdown with a CEO’s mindset. They are mastering the art of leading teams in a virtual environment, a skill which they never expected to need.

Not only does Daniel relate the lessons which they have learned, he also relates what he has learned as he manages his own MyOutDesk team remotely.
