Numerous articles have been written about why it makes sense to hire a Virtual Assistant as opposed to a full time P.A. I myself have written articles on it and have shown business owners the many ways that hiring my business V-Assist can make your life easier and – yes of course …save you money.
Have you ever thought however about the fact that a Virtual Assistant, who offers what I personally do, can not only give you peace of mind and save you money, but can actually give you a great Return On Investment (or ROI as it is commonly referred to)? Well I can …and I can prove it. I have a few very happy clients that can testify to how I have actually made them money through my additional services. So, here are 4 ways a V.A can make your business pay! …
Cold calling – I may be proven to be wrong, but as far as I know only V-Assist offer ‘cold calling’ as a part of their services. I will not only be your personal, professional first line of telephonic communication, but I am quite happy to ‘cold call’ clients, who you believe may be interested in your service or product, for you! This has proven to be vastly advantageous to some of my clients and has made them far more money than what they pay for my service. Now, how’s that for a good R.O.I?
Networking – My clients also all quickly come to learn that I am a skilled networker and part of the largest networking organisation in the world – Business Networking International (B.N.I). I have not just once or twice, but consistently, won ‘Networker of the month’ in my ‘chapter’ (Group of networkers) and so am a great ‘word of mouth’ referral source for any business that employs me.
Online marketing – At B.N.I we learn that gaining business is achieved through building relationships with people. ‘Giving’ them referrals and gaining their trust engenders ‘getting’ business ourselves. Therefore no ‘selling’ is involved. Because we offer an online service, we accomplished Virtual Assistants know that online marketing works in much the same way …and we offer a service to our clients of providing advice, blogs and articles and social media posts that will get them known and engaging on the internet. This too invariably leads to new connections …which means new business …and new business translates as more income!
Time is money – I charge for my time, so obviously I’m acutely aware exactly how much valuable time I’m saving my clients. Time is money, because it frees my clients up to do what they should be doing – building a bigger business! Once again, new business means more business and more income.
I hope these 4 ways a V.A can make your business pay have convinced you that a Virtual Assistant not only can save you money, but actually be a great Return On Investment! I have made many of my client’s money, so let me do the same for you. Contact me to find out more and to start simplifying your life and building a better, more lucrative business!
