Okay, so you know you've got the best darn designer tap shoes and weather resistant tutus around, but you're still falling short of the first million.
Well, here are just five of the countless ways a VA can increase your revenue.
1.
Constant Cash Flow Rev up your Receivables.
Do you invoice your clients promptly? If money isn't coming in as quickly as you'd like, and your deposit slips are gathering dust, it's time to turn over your billing to a Virtual Assistant.
A VA will invoice your clients as frequently as you like, provide your customers a gentle reminder if something becomes overdue, or if you like, give them an assertive nudge when necessary.
2.
Word of Mouth Happy customers keep coming back, see the value in your service, and quickly spread the word of their happiness.
Cha-Ching.
Are your current customers and prospective clients provided the luxury of hearing a human voice when they call your place of business? Think about your personal preferences.
Don't you experience a certain level of satisfaction when leaving your message with a real person? Compare that to the vacant, impersonal feeling you're left with after entrusting a machine to hold and deliver your communiqué.
Give your customers good feelings! Forward your calls to your own personal Virtual Assistant who will professionally answer your phone calls and assure all of those who call that your business is indeed run by people who care about its customers.
3.
Perception is Key.
The one vital factor, that's critical for your success, is how people perceive your operation.
Did you know that the actual size of your company isn't important? Do you realize it doesn't matter how smoothly things genuinely run? Honestly! If your office is a closet, your files are stored in a shoebox and your desk is a cardboard box, it's okay..
A Virtual Assistant can help ensure that true professionalism is evident throughout your company.
Quality correspondence, frequent and friendly follow-up, and first rate customer service are a few of the ways a VA can secure a professional presence for your organization, hence keeping the money coming.
4.
Do the Right Thing! If you want what they've got; do what they do! You're a successful entrepreneur, right? I bet your business card says something impressive like President, CEO, or Owner.
Great! Do you work smart? Have you created a vision for your business? Do you have a Plan B prepared for the next time a potential client tells you why he doesn't need your product or service?You can't be too busy to plan.
Spending your time fumbling around a keyboard, hunting and pecking your way out of a "beginning dump of physical memory" error won't bring money in the door.
If you're going to call yourself a CEO, act like one! Delegate! Find yourself a Virtual Assistant, spell out your short comings, and stand back.
You'll be rubbing elbows with the bigwigs in no time.
5.
Customer Satisfaction.
The best way to grow is to keep your current client's happy! Have you got a great client you haven't heard from in a while? Would you like to give them a little reminder that you're available? Have your Virtual Assistant give them a call.
This can pay off in several ways.
First, your client will see you're not such a little guy after all.
You've actually got someone working with you.
Hmmm.
Interesting.
Second, you took the time to have someone follow-up.
You do care! Let's see.
With one phone call, you've told your client you're growing, you're professional, customer service is important to you, and you want their business.
With service like this, clients will keep coming back!
