Take advantage of this short-term trend: LABOR MARKET Opportunities

, , ,

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 qualified 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 investment 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.  

 

 

 

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.

How to take advantage of short term opportunities in our labor market

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 to 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.”

Remote Work: Are you going back to the office? The millionaires say…

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 processes.

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 the 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 and needed to be around people. We’ll see how it goes to get back to it.”

 

A more efficient team, anywhere

MyOutDesk’s MyTimeIn software allows teams to stay accountable and track productivity effortlessly. Managers can access IPC- and GPDR-compliant productivity tracking software through the MyOutDesk’s Client Portal with MyTimeIn timesheets.

MyOutDesk MyTimeIn: Team Productivity Software

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 much 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.

TURNKEY TALENT for Turnkey Investing + Property Mgmt. | Virtual Assistants at Memphis Investment Properties

, , , ,

At first, Sean Tagge was a biomedical engineer who specialized in artificial heart research. His passion to connect with people and solve problems led him to a career change into real estate and turnkey investing.

Today, Sean is Chief Operating Officer & Partner at Memphis Investment Properties. Using his strengths in analytics, research, problem-solving, and engineering, Sean makes extensive use of data to make very informed decisions!

An important decision since 2018 — Sean has a team of 6 MyOutDesk Virtual Assistants.

Before hiring Virtual Assistants, Sean said “things would just fall through the cracks… If I just had someone to fill in these numbers for me, I’d be able to know if we’d miss something. With VAs, I can call 20 more clients if I don’t have to type these numbers”

He researched the data and statistically found how answering calls is the key to drive results. With MyOutDesk VAs, they have 90% coverage to answer a call live at any time! If you need help or want to explore some ideas, schedule a free Strategy Consultation today.  

“With so many deals going in and out. Virtual Assistants free up time for me and for the acquisitions & sales managers to do more of the higher-value stuff. (Highest & best use of the people I’m paying.) VAs give them assistance so they can do what they’re best at, which is closing deals.”

Nowadays, the company flips around 300 properties per year and manages over 2,700 doors in Memphis!

 

Don’t do this alone, but with the MOD Family.

Sean’s MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant Experience

 

Tune in to find practical advice to best train and manage a virtual assistant team!

Instead of paying into a limited call center subscription, Sean created his very own internal call center. Where he can control all scripts, decisions, and monitor for feedback.

Scorecard System: How do you know if you’re winning a game if you can’t see a scoreboard? Sean set up all employees & VAs to see how they score and the progress they make daily, setting up the company and employees to best understand how to win.

Key Takeaways:

  • If you don’t have the experience, go find someone who can do it.
  • Compound leverage & delegate.
  • Have a service mindset.
  • Understand the learning curve in training.
  • Systems used: Podio and Investors 1.0.
  • VAs are as good as you train them to be.
  • When VAs are told to do what they need to do, they do it forever and they do it very well — it’s great!
  • They got so busy, needed help—acquisition teams spending unnecessary tasks, taking them away from dollar-productive activities.
  • VAs helped them systematize.
  • The company sees at least 5x ROI than what they pay MOD VAs.

Beware of the ‘false prophet’ — Determining a REAL business opportunity apart from FAKE ones

, , , , , , , , , ,

There’s a huge sea of self-proclaimed business gurus on the internet.

How do you pick apart a false business ‘prophet’ from a trusted business leader? The real question is — who is true to their words? Or am I being lured by good marketing with zero backings?

As the very saying goes, ‘false prophets’ know how to impress people with outward shows of success (in the business world). The problem with false prophets is that they usually tell partial truths.

Whenever you search for a service, a Facebook ad appears shortly afterward. They’re the flashy, in-your-face, “be like me” folks: the Social Media Guru, the Marketing Guru, the Entrepreneur Guru, the Real Estate Guru, and etc. The labels are endless.

These ‘fake gurus’ are also the very same individuals who follow the phrase, “fake it till you make it,” much too radically.

They all promise the same lie — “Take my hook & bait. Buy into my product … for the promise that you’ll make a million bucks.” It’s too good to be true. So this is how to decide the real value in these deals …

 

Find trusted partnerships, such as MyOutDesk, where we exist ONLY through your success! If you need help or want to explore some ideas, book a free ‘Grow Virtual’ strategy consultation today.

MyOutDesk can save you up to 70% on employment costs
with experienced, career virtual assistant professionals.

 

How to confirm the stats behind the name
Determine the REAL value of businesses of interest

Some of these so-called prophets are claiming that they’ll spoon-feed you their success strategy. It’s just too easy. You need to confirm the legitimacy of their business.

 

Step 1: Use https://web.archive.org/ to search for the origins of the main business website, and look back at their historical marketing content.

Step 2: Find out the actual start date of business & website on: https://lookup.icann.org/lookup

Step 3: Check for employees on LinkedIn. Any real company will have employees listed.

 

Other Useful Tips

✓ Check for VERIFIED Google reviews & Facebook reviews
Beware of paid review sites. Many websites are paid to look like reviews, but in reality, they have sponsored media.

✓ Look for the creation dates of their Social Media pages.
If they have relatively new pages, then you might need to triple-check their legitimacy. Although, sometimes companies do in fact start new pages for new campaigns.

✓ Ask your professional network for any bad experiences with the company of interest

✓ Check with the Better Business Bureau

The COVID-19 craziness has caused people to stress out and scramble to work remotely. This crisis is pushing everything forward technologically. Why not hire a virtual assistant (VA) to scale your property management business?

Jason Hull brings Daniel Ramsey, CEO of MyOutDesk to the DoorGrowShow!

This episode explains how an entrepreneur can do the same.

“When I hired my first VP, in 2007, I was like most Americans: I had no idea how advanced and motivated people were. Back then, I owned a couple of different businesses, and over the subsequent ten years, I learned all that virtual professionals can do for a business from a talent and motivation perspective. I have also learned how rewarding it is to provide hope and opportunity to as many people as possible throughout the world by giving them wages and benefits that reflect their true value.”
The heart of the journey is getting the right people working for you.
The ability to leverage global talent makes it financially attainable, even
for smaller companies, to do so. America’s biggest companies already know
this, as we are beginning to discover.
Leverage is compound interest and entrepreneurs’ biggest swing.
When I hire somebody, I’m hiring them to grow my revenue. I’m hiring them to save money. I’m hiring them to own an entire process for my business.
The biggest cure for the economy is businesses and entrepreneurs staying productive.

  • Weed delivery is in high demand, seeing a 65% percent spike in March 2020 alone.

Mark Zuckerberg: ‘There are some very clear benefits to remote work’

, , , , , , , , , , ,

 

“My own thinking on this has changed over the past few months.”

 

In May, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a thoughtful, heartfelt memo on his social media regarding his new perception of the power of remote work.

 

“There are some very clear benefits to remote work. It lets us access talent pools outside of traditional tech hubs in big cities — and that should help spread economic opportunity much more widely around the country and world while also helping us build a more diverse company.”

 

From the beginning, MyOutDesk has been helping businesses grow and develop hybridized remote & physical businesses with virtual teams. Now more than ever it’s important to embrace smooth & modernized business, all while allowing businesses to scale up.

 

You can spread economic opportunities in your business by hiring full-time virtual assistants at up to 70% less than the cost of a traditional employee!

The flexibility afforded by remote work

 

Zuckerberg shares, “I’ve always felt that our teams worked better when they could physically be together. We even designed our offices so there are places where people can walk freely and have those serendipitous conversations that can lead to really good ideas.”

 

This is true. There is the power of creativity in working together in a space, and there’s the power of productivity with remote work.

 

What Zuckerberg is experiencing is a crash course in the power of the blended business model.

 

He also explains that more and more, the virtual workplace can emulate the physical workplace through technological advances. “I think that technology can help us overcome this, and the lockdown has shown us what’s possible with the tools we have today.”

 

“As a tech company we’re fortunate that a lot of our work can be done remotely. Not everyone has that flexibility. But as the technology improves, the number of jobs that can be done fully remotely will likely increase across the rest of the economy too.”

“Over time, location will hopefully be less of a factor in how many people work and we’ll have the technology to feel truly present no matter where we are. I think this is an important direction that the world is going to go in after Covid, and that’s why we’re building products to help more organizations find ways to work remotely, as well as more ways for people to connect and feel present socially.”

 

>> Stay on top of the competition with the Organizational Change Framework

 

“It’s going to take time to make this work for everyone. We’re going to learn a lot from this, and we’ll have more updates and details to share in the months ahead as we figure this out.”

Blended Organizations are the Future

A blended or mixed organizational chart is the structure that many businesses are adopting today.

Growth in outsourcing is a rising trend. Demand for virtual talent is increasing because it works for most business owners and many employees, and it is simply a profitable practice. You can adapt it in your own business – schedule your Virtual Strategy Session now to learn exactly how!
