As a small business owner, it’s part of the journey to wear all of the different hats within your business. Sometimes you’re in finance, sometimes in sales, other times in admin… 

However, if you really want to grow and evolve the business, then this will require time being spent working on the business, rather than in the business. In order to achieve this reality, you have to leverage other people and delegate tasks; there’s simply no other way you can do everything and do it successfully.

But hiring staff is costly, and comes with a whole heap of other expenses and responsibilities, such as HR and Payroll. Opting for a Virtual Assistant, however, will actually save you money!

How? Because your cost per hour and the amount of income you can generate for your business per hour is more than you pay your VAs!

10 hours per month from a VA means that you are likely to get more than 10 hours back. 

Why? Because we are specialists and professionals at what we do. We work at a speed that only comes with a high level of experience. Meanwhile, what could you do with that extra time? Write a killer proposal? Attend a networking event? Maybe write a sales manual, complete with 10 different types of sales pitches?

Here’s a few ways in which a VA can help boost your sales cycle…

Identifying daily, weekly and monthly tasks

As VAs, we are experienced in identifying those core tasks. We understand which tasks require our daily attention, and which ones can be completed once a week/month. 

We will manage your email lists, respond to social media queries, delegate tasks and manage calendars, but can also research prospective clients.

We use tools such as search engines, social media platforms and business directories to get the best results.

Isn’t hiring a VA the best decision ever?

CRM management 

We understand the value of leveraging your CRM and maintaining contact with clients and prospects. 

Not only will we set up your CRM, but we will keep it up-to-date with important information such as full names, phone numbers, email IDs, official websites, office addresses and important dates to remember.

We specialise in automating your CRM and creating follow-ups and reminders, making sure you never miss an important opportunity to surprise and delight.

For most businesses, email loyalty campaigns and monthly newsletters maintain a close connection with your leads, and an assistant with the right skills can do all of this for you. This consistent communication with your database drives repeat business and referrals, by keeping your business top of mind.

Set up email forwarding

Your virtual assistant can take care of those general administrative emails for you, and let you know if anything urgent comes in.

You’ll be checking your calendar and watching your week fill up with important sales calls… and you won’t have played a single second of email tennis!  

Automating follow ups

Often the neglected workhorse of your online marketing, we can forget just how powerful automated follow-ups can be in building relationships.

A virtual assistant can set these up, allowing you to nurture qualified leads, boost your customer satisfaction and drive conversations. All while saving you time and money!

Physical lead nurturing

This one is a crucial process designed to develop and maintain relationships throughout the customer journey, yet it often takes a backseat in your marketing.

The best VA will give your leads and customers a personal experience, helping you to win and maintain business.

We all wish we had time to send handwritten notes and gift-wrapped thank-yous, but as our businesses grow, this becomes less and less feasible. By delegating this task out, you get to keep those personal touches at every stage of your customer experience. It’s the little things that make all the difference.  

Digital lead nurturing

Liking, sharing and commenting on your leads’ and clients’ social media content is a great way to amplify their message, as well as showing that you’re engaged with their work and keeping you top-of-mind. 

We can also email thoughtful articles and blogs to your prospects, keeping them warm and ensuring they continue on their buyer’s journey and don’t become forgotten leads. 

At Virtual Administration, we firmly believe that anyone on the payroll should become a profit centre for your business. That is the essence of leverage.

We know that we can have a positive impact on your business, which is why we offer a full 30-day money back guarantee.

Using a VA in your sales process is just one way we can ensure you get a positive ROI when working with us – get in touch today and we can explore how one of our VAs could help you grow your business.
