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

 

Today we talk about how virtual assistant services produce TOP real estate teams. Real estate agents who are tapping into admin, marketing, and ISA virtual assistant services are the biggest gainers in market share.

 

MyOutDesk helps to onboard virtual assistants with quick and easy service. It only takes 3 steps.

1) Sign up.

2) Thorough Interviews To Find Your Perfect VA.

3) Virtual Assistants are ready to work for you!

 

COMPOUND LEVERAGE

If you understand compound interest, then you can apply that same principle to leverage.  Once you delegate a task and create a process and a procedure, you are able to recover your time.  And get this, since you have now developed a repeatable process that someone else can handle … you get that time back for the rest of your career!  That’s compound leverage! Training means stepping back and expecting a decline before you bust through the plateau and grow.

How to keep your virtual assistant (VA) busy

You don’t need to do this directly—when you integrate them into your business, they become part of the business and tasks will come in naturally. Have systems in place for your VA success.

The Grow Virtual Guide helps give you a deep understanding of how to align many important facets of your business within your growth strategy.

Getting GHOSTED by clients because of this one thing…

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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 the 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.

Disruptions Are Catalysts: The 4 Laws for FOLLOW-UP with Dr. Lee Davenport

, , , , , ,

Recognized by Inman News and numerous real estate organizations as one of the top 25 U.S. real estate coaches, Dr. Lee Davenport is a nationally-respected real estate educator, celebrated author, and blogger (with features in Inman News, Realtor Magazine, and Huffington Post to name a few). She trains real estate agents and brokerages on how to work smarter with technology.

MyOutDesk Founder & CEO Daniel Ramsey sits with Dr. Lee Davenport for a special interview. A short backstory –– During the recession in 2007-2008, Dr. Lee went against the flow and chose Facebook as her main mode of social media marketing, instead of the popular site Myspace at the time. This move boosted her business so much that she had to build a team later in the year just to keep up with demand and sales.

 

Disruptions Are Catalysts

 

Daniel & Dr. Lee discuss how to take the mentality of disruptions and turn them into catalysts, bringing things back full circle. At times, buyers will not want to keep paying for your service. What you provide to them might be threatened & interrupted, while customers attempt to build DIYs to replace the service. This concept is not sustainable — and eventually, buyers will realize again that they need someone who has expertise.

 

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has people with no choice but to adapt to virtual work and use more video.

 

4 Laws of Follow-up

Universal and evergreen rules for any business at any industry

 

#1 – Offer Items of Value

Having something to give. It can be a link, a download, an article, as long as its an item of value in every piece of communication. You can have only one item of value — but you can keep repurposing it!

Pull snippets & excerpts, small chunks that make people know that you are an expert. It’s truly an item of value when people take your material and say, “Tell me more!”

 

#2 – Automate What You Can

You don’t have to go crazy and keep repurposing the materials from the #1 rule manually. Automate texts, website posts, video content to provide, emails, and social posts. Remember, relationships can’t be automated, so the initial steps to nurturing can be automated before the sale.

If you are not automating, then you’re being inefficient. If you’re working solo and you’re not automating, then you’re more than likely to let things slip through the cracks.

 

#3 – Give away & Remove Your Inefficiencies

If it’s a poor use of your time, get rid of it and give it away. Don’t be afraid to invest time in training. Think how much time you can save by removing inefficient work.

Tune in to Daniel & Dr.Lee to explain more about this important rule!

 

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

 

#4 – Be A Time Block Blocker!

Block time to save yourself time. Guard your precious time against interruptions that keep you from focusing, and be ruthless about it! This will keep doing what you’re best at, so you can produce the best dollar-productive results. So, if you’re a salesperson, just use your time to sell! The rest of the work can be managed by those who are good at those tasks! (Virtual assistants are key!)

COVID-19 Today: Banks Left to Guess on Credit Decisions

Some observers are predicting that the pandemic could wipe out more global wealth than the Financial Crisis of 2008.

Banks have pulled back sharply on lending to U.S. consumers during the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis. The main reason: They can no longer tell who exactly is creditworthy.

With today’s economy in shambles, experts are trying to figure out what is going to happen to all of the debt that Americans have racked up during better times.

 

“Banks don’t know who is going to pay and who isn’t. It’s like flying blind into a credit storm”

– Michael Abbott, head of banking for North American at Accenture PLC

 

One of the keys to thriving during a recession is to focus your time on finding out opportunities to thrive and survive during this uncertain time. Spend the next 90 days of quiet time for deeper planning and preparing.

[Solved] “Why do my employees keep screwing up?”

, , , , ,

So you’ve got an employee who keeps making mistakes. Perhaps they’re small ones, but it happens too much. Even if you see potential in them, you still don’t want to cut your losses.

What can you do to get employees on track?

As the boss, your employees will watch how you do it. Ultimately, it goes without saying how you need to lead by example and coach your team to do the same.

Questions to consider:
  • Do I have a system and process in place?
  • Is there effective training provided for those systems & processes in place?
  • Do I have the right person and talent?

It’s what leaders do that ultimately make or break the team. A huge factor in employee performance is the business’s leadership competency.

The 3 DONT’S (Why they aren’t buying from you right now)

, , ,

If your sales & marketing efforts are going unheard, it’s time to question ways to change and adapt to market needs and demands.

During the COVID-19 crisis, business leaders are actively reimagining their products & services to produce new value for the buyers’ current needs.

Keep calm and thrive on. Realize that a market downturn is an amazing opportunity for you to gain market share as competing businesses are reducing their staffing & capacity. Now is the time to double down on the projects and ideas that will drive future growth and scale. You can further develop your marketing content & sales pitches.

 

MyOutDesk can save you up to 70% on employment costs

The 3 reasons someone doesn’t buy from you

If you aren’t generating enough profits, there is something still to fill to capture your leads’ interests. Buyers aren’t coming to you for the following reasons.

 

1) They don’t trust the salesperson

Many times, the sale will fall through if the customer doesn’t believe the sales rep has their best interest at heart. You need to conduct effective team exercises to train all salespeople to effectively build rapport for multiple customer personas. Create multiple pitches and angles. At the end of the day, if these pitches are not generating the right amount of interest, your product or service may not meet the market’s needs.

MyOutDesk virtual assistant services provide you with the flexibility, scalability, and cost-savings to adapt quickly to today’s changing business & market conditions. Here is a list of all that a virtual assistant can do to uplift your business during a recession.

 

MyOutDesk can save you up to 70% on employment costs

 

2) They don’t trust themselves

The customer might not have confidence in their own preparedness and abilities. If this is the case, the customer will see your offerings as a burden. You will need to convince and help them visualize how your product or service will make a great improvement in their way of life, instead of a burden. It takes an empathizing voice to show that you care and willing to help them through any difficulty. 

People want to maintain their livelihoods, and it’s up to you to help produce what is needed and wanted among the community. You get paid to add value to our customers, clients, vendors, and the people in our communities.

3) They don’t believe the product will solve a pain point in their business

The customer might be interested, yet reluctant to buy. This means either someone else is doing it better than your business, or, your product might not meet their needs. It’s always time to generate sales, which is why adjusting your communication style is important.
