MyOutDesk Founder & CEO Daniel Ramsey sits with Dr. Lee Davenport for a special interview. A short backstory –– During 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 cracks.
#3 – Give away & Remove Your Inefficiencies
If it’s poor use of your time, get rid of it and give it away. Don’t be afraid to invest time on training. Think how much time you can save by removing inefficient work.
Tune in to Daniel & Dr.Lee 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 sales person, 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!)

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 VPs with a completely revamped organizational model in short order, and he told MyOutDesk, “Our virtual professionals have shaved $250,000 off our monthly overhead.”

In today’s unprecedented time, there is a real opportunity to grow your business.
How? Take advantage of today’s change in the labor market.
Before COVID-19, the traditional labor market had a higher demand for talented workers — with more jobs available than talented workers. Over 36 million Americans lost their jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic. This means that, for once, there are more quality workers than there are jobs.
Initial jobless claims, per week VS 36 million+ jobless claims filed in the last two months
Source: Labor Department
The unemployment rate skyrocketed over the last two months, meaning talented workers want to be hired. You have the advantage as an employer now to find more talented workers than anytime before.
Similarly, if you would have invested in the stock market in March. Today a 50k invest could be 4000k, had you invested in March. There was a short term opportunity.
How do you take advantage of this opportunity?
By hiring a recruiting, administrative, or marketing virtual assistant, you can leverage greater talent, all at a fraction of the cost.
If you’ve been wanting to improve your business, today is the time to invest in gaining high quality talent — at a lower cost! This is a short-lived time window and there is no real prediction of when you can find this opportunity again.
To build a stronger organization, today is the time to focus on improving the organization, rather not “going back to normal.” If you need help or want to explore some ideas, schedule a free Strategy Consultation today.

Charles and Olivia share, “If the small business owner is impacted, everyone is impacted. The TOP 2 things that CANNOT be cut are the people who we are committed to, which are our employees and virtual assistants.”
Take our clients’ words for it. “Virtual Assistants are key. Without 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 3-5 years out, we will continue to grow our number of VAs.”

COVID-19: Are you going back to the office yet or not?
We posed this question to over 500 millionaires, entrepreneurs & CEOs and asked for their thought process.
Here are the results:
18% Back at the office
19% Never left the office (+ essential work)
12.3% Creating a transition plan & not back in the office
23.7% Because of COVID-19, we’re staying remote
27% We’ve been 100% remote since before COVID-19
From these business owners’ responses, there is a slightly greater lean towards working remotely. Nonetheless, businesses are seeing value in both physical and remote locations.
MyOutDesk advocates for the ‘blended business model,’ where teams leverage the power of working remotely in any profitable business — especially for businesses still requiring physical commercial space. If you need help or want to explore some ideas,schedule a free Strategy Consultation today.
Sample Responses:
“Working in the same place you live is rough. Need physical separation between the two hats. I expect to be back in full office swing by July with social distance + masks.”
“My work-life balance is so much easier out of my home office. I will probably end up going in one day a week, but that will be it.”
“I am committed to never returning to the office in my capacity.”
“I never had an office, but the closure of Starbucks was a real kick in the junk.”
“Our team wanted to go back to the office so we started back 2 weeks ago. Although I’m working from home way more now than before. It’s probably around 40% office, 60% home.“
“This experiment with working virtually has made me like my home office even more. COVID-19 gave us a reason + incentive to go 100% remote, something we have been talking about doing months before pandemic.”
“My staff is back at the office as of a month ago. I’m not and don’t plan on returning. I’ve been wanting my office at home and COVID-19 gave me a big reason. Very comfortable here and way more productive. When my office lease is up, I will be moving my staff home and going virtual.“
“I worked from home full time for the better part of 10 years, opened up an office in September, only to go back to working from home. The first few years it was great, but then I realized I was building unhealthy habits andneeded to be around people. We’ll see how it goes to get back to it.”

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%

Free Grow Virtual Guide + Strategy Consultation
THREE PILLARS OF CREDIBILITY and BRANDING for FB, IG and LI
(The main social media networks you focus on)
1 – Audience
You need an audience and followers, having the audience gives you the altitude and credibility — we live in a world of perception, remember that!
How to build an audience: Go to an online event or an in-person event. Make it your intention to connect on socials. Have the goal to make viewers follow you on socials, like “follow me on XX, YY, ZZ for more updates, for a replay, for a special offer, to connect, etc.”
Your goal is to take offline relationships online and vice-versa. You may also collaborate with people who already have an audience or have a good reach.
2 – Content Through Facebook and Instagram Stories
Post IG stories, at least 6x a day from your personal account
What should you be posting? Cycle between these 3 types: personal, professional and lifestyle
Professional — brings value for your audience
Personal — connect as a person instead of just a logo—remember people want to do business with a person, not a logo
Lifestyle — documenting the life you live (your “human interest aspect”)
3 – Content Through Wall Posts
Stories vs. Wall Posts: Wall posts are highlight reels. they stay forever unless you delete it! Stories drive traffic and are more intimate since it’s available for just 24 hours. Stories shouldn’t be edited too much or not edited at all!
All the while, wall posts are permanent — it’s the face of your brand and company. They will never go away. So, only post what you want to last, but use the three content types mentioned. Throw in a lot of content, especially when you’re starting out. But, keep it to 3-4x a week if you’ve built an audience already. All of your promotions and posts should also go to your personal account.
Are you afraid of DMs? What do you say when you start a convo?
Understanding it in simple basic form — all social media is just a networking event
When you meet somebody in person — think about how you do it in real life: Introduce yourself!
“Hey how’s it going, saw your page/profile here, and want to get connected”
“Nice connecting with you, I have a great idea. I’d love to share it with you, what’s your cell? Can we chat about it?”
If they reply, send a text from your phone.
Ask: “When’s the best time to talk with you”
Depending on how credible you are, that’s how many people will reply to you. A response rate of 5-6 people out of 25 is a good start.
The higher your credibility, the more responses and messages you’ll get.
If they don’t respond, move on to the next.
Get used to rejection, don’t take NO personally—it’s going to happen.
Focus on the few that respond.
Don’t do this alone, but with the MOD Family.
