Brian Beers and his family currently own and operate 12 Midas® franchises in the Philadelphia area. He shares what talent means for his franchise businesses and his journey to getting the leverage that he needs.

 

“We used outsource companies in the past and have some varying experiences. I really like about [MyOutDesk] is all the work that you guys do upfront to find the right virtual assistant — ensuring that we’re getting a high-quality, well-vetted candidate because the biggest challenge or a roadblock is TRUST.”

 

How to scale profits with a franchise business

 

Brian’s family has been in business of owning franchises for a long time. With a virtual assistant, they doubled their business in the last 3-4 years, and the next couple years they’re looking to double again. His virtual assistant, Ann, handles tasks independently. Brian compliments her achievements in our interview.

 

The virtual assistant directly works with his managers to get things done. These tasks are now completely off his radar, and Brian shares his “great experience for his franchise locations!“

 

“We got to try to multiply our efforts, and that’s really where the virtual assistant comes into play. They take away the everyday tasks, so that I could focus on higher-value outcomes and continue to work towards these larger goals.”

 

 

Did You Know?  MyOutDesk’s origin story is set during the last global financial crisis of 2008. Yes, that’s right — our business started by scaling businesses with virtual assistants during a recession! Our first client in 2008 went from five to seventeen VAs with a completely revamped organizational model in short order, and he told MyOutDesk, “Our virtual professionals have shaved $250,000 off our monthly overhead.” 

 

ENVISIONING OF A NEW REALITY FOR YOUR FRANCHISE BUSINESS

Simply put, MyOutDesk equips entrepreneurs & franchise owners with tools, strategies, and virtual employees – and when combined, businesses have a competitive edge and find growth while efficient systems and processes are put in place.

Top Takeaways:

  • These are strange and unprecedented times. In a very short amount of time, the United States has shifted from having only 5% of its workforce working remotely to over 50%.
  • Virtual assistants and workers can help you deliver your value proposition by handling essential tasks that don’t necessarily drive business—such as answering the phone, managing calendars, etc.
  • On average, it takes companies 60-90 days to find, hire and onboard a new employee. Turning to a virtual assistant or remote staffing option can reduce that time to about one week.
  • Businesses must devise new systems, processes and technologies to better manage a remote workforce.
  • During this time, organization leaders must seize the opportunity to connect with their employees and their customer base in an authentic and empathetic way.
  • Many people are scared and confused during this time. Reach out to them not to sell a product, but to simply ask how they’re doing. This will strengthen your relationship both now and in the future when things return to normal.
  • Communication is moving faster than ever before, and with people working remotely, you must communicate more frequently than in the past. For example, try having a group call with your team three times a day—start-of-day, mid-day and end-of-day.
  • Appoint a Director of HR—humor Have this person find something funny or uplifting to share with the team at large once a day to keep morale up.
  • Many businesses have slowed down. Be there to support your clients as best you can while acknowledging these changes. As the old saying goes, hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
  • Ramsey’s company, MyOutDesk, has put together a guide to working remotely to help businesses adapt. The Go Remote Guide is available for free by texting “MOD” to 31996.

Quotes:

“I believe it’s our civic duty to stay productive as a country. Let’s stay productive as a country and get through this together.”

“The times have changed. You have to lead differently, think differently and interact with your vendors differently. The CEOs and leaders who don’t shift are missing a huge opportunity to show authenticity, empathy for their team and create brand loyalty.”

“Your employees and customers are nervous, uncertain and even scared. You owe it to them to communicate at a much higher frequency and much more empathetically than you ever have before.”

/in /by


Work relentlessly to deliver complete customer satisfaction, and strive towards constant improvement of your methods & procedures: those are only a couple of the many secrets to exceeding your client expectations – part of a very special interview MyOutDesk founder & CEO Daniel Ramsey just completed on the aptly titled “Exceeding Expectations” podcast!

Back in 2008, Daniel was inspired by his own time-management struggles to find a better way to help agents leverage their time & energy, and created MyOutDesk to provide a trusted, reliable solution to the office administration, marketing & prospecting tasks that every agent has – but most lack time to focus on. We’ve served over 5,000 clients, and in this interview Daniel will take you behind the scenes to explore the challenges & victories involved with providing the highest quality customer experience in the virtual assistant industry!

Find out how a MyOutDesk Virtual assistant can bring you the leverage you need to work ON your business instead of IN it. Schedule your Double My Business Strategy Session today!

Daniel is a guest on the Exceeding Expectations podcast with Tony Winyard. Tony spent 15 years as a club DJ working at iconic venues in London, around the UK and abroad, including Holland, France, Norway, Japan, Hong Kong, and Italy. He has performed as the DJ at prestigious wedding venues, including: Claridge’s, The Savoy, Grosvenor House, Emirates Stadium, Highclere Castle, and many places overseas.

“Either you have an assistant, or you are the assistant. It’s your choice.” – Daniel Ramsey

Tony has spoken to millions as a radio presenter and DJ around the world, including interviewing celebrities such as Jon Bon Jovi, Dionne Warwick and many more. He also speaks at events helping audiences with a talk about improving their income. He has undertaken considerable training in professional speaking, improvisation and stand-up comedy, MCing and DJing, and continues to develop his knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis. He is also a member of the Professional Speaking Association and Toastmasters International (the public speaking organization). Over the last few years, he has been speaking at many events and conferences.

In this episode, Daniel will discuss:

  • How clients grew their real estate businesses with the help of virtual assistants
  • How Daniel began exploring the larger role of business process & systems outsourcing and key growth stages in real estate – which led to the development of the “7 Figure Business Roadmap” and the publication of his best-selling book, “Scaling Your Business With Virtual Professionals”
  • How to create a 7 Figure Business, Double my Business & 7 Figure Roadmap.
  • Hiring Virtual Assistants, Executive Assistant, Outsourcing, Virtual Teams.
  • Onboarding a Virtual Assistant and making it work.
  • The book “Scaling Your Business with Virtual Professionals”.
  • Time Freedom for Entrepreneurs & Compound Leverage.
  • How to Benefit from, Manage, Motivate: Virtual Professionals, Virtual Teams, geographically dispersed team, distributed team, or remote team.
  • What is a blended model with a Virtual Assistant?
  • What is “Time Freedom” and how can they buy you back time?
  • What is a Virtual Professional & how can they help you scale your business?
  • What is the principle of “Compound Leverage”?
  • How does an Entrepreneur Scale a Business?

 

Each episode of Exceeding Expectations features an interview with a person that loves their work and tries to exceed the expectations of their clients far. This results in a win-win situation for the person doing the work and for the client. The client is delighted that they received more than they expected, which often leads to them writing fabulous testimonials and passing on more referrals to their friends and business associates. It also results in the work being more enjoyable.

That is the aim of the show – to inspire listeners to come up with ways to over-deliver to their clients; to create things that aren’t typically being done by most in their industry. The episodes feature people in many different industries that will give you ideas for things you could tweak slightly, to use for your business. To provide you with something very unique in your industry. Obviously not all the ideas will work for you, but some will and some will require a little creative thinking to get them to fit for your clients
