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.

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.

Marvin Mitchell: Making a 20x ROI with Virtual Assistants!

/in , , /by

Marvin is a top-ranked, nationally recognized financial advisor with a focus on helping people invest & save more wisely for their golden years. As the founder of Compass Retirement Solutions, his team leverages MyOutDesk virtual assistants for both administrative & inside sales roles, and on average, they’re making him over a 20x ROI – and sometimes even more.

“My virtual assistant made me $43,000 in commissions less than half an hour ago, so if you’re still on the fence about hiring one, my advice is: just do it. The ROI on our virtual assistants is amazing – it’s definitely going to finish the year over 20x…”

Marvin isn’t just leveraging his ISAs for prospecting: he’s also using them to prequalify prospects, which saves his team of advisors countless hours – and lets them focus on advising only qualified prospects who are ready to take advantage of his expertise. This is only one of the many strategies Marvin has used to grow his business into the #3 financial advising firm in the United States. Take Marvin’s advice: just do it! Schedule your Double My Business Strategy Session now!

Marvin grew up in a working-class family in St. Louis, with little money. The first in his family to earn a college degree, Marvin put his law school education on hold to help care for his grandmother after she was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. Marvin soon discovered that, although his grandmother had worked her whole life, she was still susceptible to financial turmoil as a result of poor financial advice and a stock market crash. Inspired to help other, hardworking retirees, Marvin became a broker for a large financial institution in 2005 before founding Compass Retirement Solutions.

“Once we get that lead, that’s where my MyOutDesk virtual assistants come in – they’re following up on those leads, getting them on our calendar and making our time more efficient. It saves us literally hundreds hours of time because we don’t have to skim through all of those individuals to find the most qualified people – and it’s changed our average case size from $325,000 to over $850,000!”

In 2016, he received the Salute to Business Excellence Award as voted by the St. Louis American Newspaper, and also that year, he was an honored recipient of the St. Louis County NAACP Distinguished Legacy Award. Schedule your Double My Business Strategy Session now, and drill down on doing your one thing to the absolute best of your abilities.

Bill shares his strategies to lead in today’s uncertain times.

  • Lead Without a Plan — Although this sounds like terrible leadership, IF you relay that you’re FIGHTING through any crisis and problem, and when you work collectively with your team, you can figure out and make astounding pivots with your leadership.
    • Continue to hold the vision and communicate
    • Fight like hell
    • Ask your people for help
  • Radical Requests — Get access to improving the situation. Instead of feeling confined, ask what you really need! Don’t wipe yourself out, BUT work with a solution — For example, with clients & prospects, you can ask, “What do you need? What can I do for you instead?” It can help you turn situations around and come out with success and growth!
  • Name That Feeling — it takes courage to show emotions, and courage needs strength, to be a whole human! Nobody’s great—there are moments that you are, and moments that you’re not. Emotions make you human. There is power and courage in being a leader. Being human as a leader gives your people a truth, that you’re not faking it to make it. Self-awareness & mindfulness. Calling it out as a practice of acceptance—it becomes a powerful thing. Call it out and go with it!
  • Execute Flexibly — Working remotely to keep the business going. Technology can help you manage virtually. At the same time, don’t change or abandon your long-term vision and goals. Shift priorities, or even strategies! Metrics and dashboards? It might be missing since you moved virtually. Some tools and apps can help you out and keep it up. This helps people know if we’re collectively hitting metrics and KPIs. Keep the progress visibility out there!
  • Let People Get Off the Bus — People who continually resist might not be a good fit in your environment. There might be a better place for them to win. How do you get people in this space and get the right request out there? By leading up in the front and leading by example. Work with your team, and ask them what they can do. Keep nudging them up. Make a list of radical requests and have them do one while you are encouraging and helping. Fully appreciate and acknowledge the radical request from both perspectives.
  • Be a Trend-Spotter — Acknowledge the weaknesses and strengths in the world and yourself right now. What do they need? What can you do better? Pivot your business around what people need, and you might see opportunities. This might be the same business to different people, or a different business for the same people. Look for trends far outside the norm, and look broadly across the world. Bill shares his SWT tool—strengths, weaknesses, and trends. Start using this tool for in your industry, then for your region, and afterward go even broader!

In today’s unprecedented time, there is a real opportunity to grow your business.

BIG NUMBERS: 50k people per day are applying for unemployment. This is a time to take advantage of the short-term trend. Talent has never been more available and affordable.

Normally, there is a huge gap between the number available workers and the number of available jobs. Usually, there are more available jobs than qualified, quality workers. 

When COVID-19 hit, this caused lots of layoffs

Today during the pandemic, the trend has changed, and there are more quality workers who are ready for hire. This massive shift in the market will eventually go back to normal.

If you have the foresight, start talking to candidates now and have the opportunity to get better people who were laid off by older, destabilized companies.

The labor opportunity window is open right now.

 

TALENTED LABOR WITHOUT DISTANCE LIMITATIONS

For almost any function that can be done remotely and doesn’t require physical space, virtual assistants for recruitment, marketing, & administrative jobs are cost-effective and allow us the adequate focus & time for our functions.

MyOutDesk Virtual assistants are known to exceed expectations in providing excellent customer service and seamless administrative operations.

Patrick Johnson, CEO of Talentuition (a MyOutDesk client) provides Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services to Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). They focus on “process outsourcing” more so than traditional headhunting or recruiting.

 

Recruitment Fundamentals
  • The mistake in prioritizing skills & experience over culture fit & talent.
  • Recruitment should follow this order: Culture fit, talent, skills and experience
  • There are two things you can’t teach people: culture fit & talent. So skills and experience can follow.

 

What is culture fit when hiring?

The right candidate who matches your culture is the one you’ve considered once before, (think this mentality) : “We’re not ready to hire yet, but as soon as we do we want you.”

When hiring, culture fit usually gets bumped down when skill sets & experience get prioritized over. Again, remember to prioritize in this order: culture fit, talent, skills, experience. This webinar goes into detail on the technicalities of posting your jobs while attracting the right culture fit.

 

How to know if it’s talent or not

In basketball drafts, Player A has played ball 10 years and they know how to do everything (he has the skills & experience). Player B is someone who can do the shots, the dunks and the plays — he has the talent! With the both of them together, the culture is the team.

Tip: People apply to several companies at the same time — so the response you make puts you out there in front of other companies for the candidate. Never be that employer who doesn’t reply to any questions.

 

2 Reasons to Recruit Now

#1 Lots of people got laid off with the pandemic, even those who had 10+ years & are highly sought after — you can get them now!

#2 Now is also the perfect time to make time investments to your business, use the downtime so you can push your curve steep when you bounce back.

Growing Your Digital Marketing Agency & Drive Revenue | With Matt Buchanan

/in , , , /by

Marketing agencies need bandwidth in order to create impactful reach for their clients and to continue to scale their business.

To scale an integrated enterprise of marketing professionals, it can get very expensive, and without strong capacity meets less marginal profits. (FYI: You can save over $90k per year.)

 

 

With any growing marketing agency, more clients means balancing more nuanced tasks and roles. When marketers take on too many assignments, their creativity can take a dip. Often, marketing agencies opt to use freelancers to complete minuscule tasks on the agency’s behalf on an ad-hoc basis.

Matt Buchanan is the founder of Pioneers of Marketing. His marketing agency helps well-known clients each earn over 1.5M on social media through direct messaging — and that’s only one revenue stream!

Matt has 4 MyOutDesk Virtual Assistants working for his marketing agency! “They are very professional & very timely. I’m grateful for them and for all the wisdom shared by MyOutDesk. The people you bring to us are top notch people. In all seriousness, I have to say that!”

If you need help or want to explore some ideas, schedule a free Strategy Consultation today.  

 

Monetizing Social Media: Direct Messaging to Drive Revenue

In this interview, we’re truly diving deep on tried & true methods to scale through direct messaging marketing. Social media is all about principles, guaranteed 100% to work every single time.

Matt shares the idea of having the right mentality about the marketing principles:

  • Be open minded
  • Be patient
  • Execute what you set

If you follow these proven principles of social media, they’ll 100% drive results. 

 

The video elaborates on the 2-step process for social media success:

  1. BRANDING
  2. ADVERTISING

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.

 

Reference: https://www.instagram.com/matttbuchanan/ & https://www.instagram.com/pioneersofmarketing/

As you can see promotional posts aren’t on the business accounts too much. Use your personal page for credibility building and brand association.

 

OFFER:

For a free social media evaluation, text Matt: (908) 914-1888.

Follow and DM Matt on IG: https://www.instagram.com/matttbuchanan

 

Additional Tips:

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.

What We Can Learn from a Billionaire About Today’s Market

/in /by

A friend of mine was recently on a call with Mark Cuban. Who else can say they’ve been taught by a billionaire?

Entrepreneurs, it is certain that the businesses who act diligently and stay informed will rise to the top. We are tired of hearing about today’s uncertainty. Instead of pausing with the rest of the world, the proactive business is reinventing itself.

[Considering a Virtual Assistant?]

 

Lessons from a Billionaire

Here are billionaire Mark Cuban’s advice and lessons on how to handle today’s market downturn. He is VERY bullish on the US and on American ingenuity. Once we are out of this recession, he thinks the country’s economy will bounce back and be so much stronger as a result.

Take a step in the proactive direction with MyOutDesk with a free, no-obligation strategy call & business guides. Schedule a strategy call today!

Take today’s data with a grain of salt.

Of all of the “models” that the experts share as “data,” this is not actual data but rather an opinion or projection. Today, the data that we are looking at now is skewed by a huge outside factor that is making it more difficult to trust and analyze.

Look at it but take it with a grain of salt. Most of our best analysis and learning will be reflective.

Pay attention to the said data, but remember that the data presented AFTER this situation will be considered the “real” data.

 

It’s always the time to sell

It’s never the time to be selling and pitching items and services of value even in this current environment.

Authenticity is critical more than ever when selling. If you are calling on a prospect, empathy is key. Mark said that it’s ok to tell prospects that you are scared too (if that’s true). A great way to sell to continue rapport building, at a time that people are seeking to connect. Your authenticity will make you more relatable.

Understand EFFECTIVE inside sales operations — by boosting your prospecting engine starting with a free business STRATEGY call with MyOutDesk!

[Considering a Virtual Assistant?]

 

Learn something new daily

Make it a point to learn something new daily. Even if you don’t think you need to know it. Mark mentioned he is going deep into learning about the future of A.I.

This is a common lesson of many billionaires, including Jeff Hoffman (founder of Priceline). Bill Gates reads at least 50 books a year. If you hear it more than once coming from a billionaire, then it must be a valid point, right? Mark pointed out to the group to take notes in the book margins and reflect chapter by chapter on what you’ve learned.

Learn how billionaires and millionaires are leveraging the remote workplace with a free MyOutDesk Business strategy call. Be proactive in today’s downturn!

 

You won’t get it unless you ask for it

You will never get anything without first asking. In the call, the moderator tested Mark’s advice and promptly asked him for an introduction to another influential person that the group could learn from. After laughing, Mark offered to connect the group with Barbara Corcharon. Point taken.

 

Stay proactive

When you look in a decade from now, there will be around three to five huge companies that were formed during this time. Why not grow your business during these times? Mark said that all the improvements that you have been thinking about HAVE TO BE implemented now both personally and professionally. Get your unfair share and it starts by making those changes now.

If you wanted to implement that new system or software, do it now. Make that huge shift in your offering or streamline processes. Make it happen now.

Scale your business operations by leveraging experienced virtual assistants in your industry.
