How One VA Helps 2,000 Agents Rise "Above The Crowd" ...

Mark Schilling is the Information Technology Manager for the New Jersey Region of RE/MAX, and a very proactive student of mine. Here is how he is able to keep his region's agents on top of the search engines through the clever use of a talented Virtual Assistant.

Hello Michael,

Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how my Virtual Assistant covers an important responsibility for me.

As you know, I am both the Information Technology Manager AND the hot air balloon pilot for the New Jersey Region of RE/MAX. This dual responsibility keeps me away from the office quite a bit, covering regional events, training, and appearances with the RE/MAX balloon. Of course mobile computing helps me to keep in touch with the world, but my personal schedule varies, and Internet access is not always available while traveling. This is where my virtual assistant becomes indispensable.

One of my responsibilities is to maintain the premium search engine placement for our regional website. I use both Overture and Google to pay for top placement of our web address in real estate search results. Since these services are priced by bid on a sliding scale, it is important to check your placement at least daily and adjust your bid accordingly. My schedule makes it nearly impossible to check these accounts on a regular basis, so I have assigned this task to my Virtual Assistant. Although it only takes a few minutes each day, my VA is always working at her desk, and schedules this task into her regular work rotation. For only a few cents daily I can assure that our regional website is driving prospects through our listings directly to over 2,000 agents in the New Jersey region. This is just one of the many ways that my VA helps to keep me on track, whether I am on the road or even "Above The Crowd."

My personal VA, Cheryl Allin, is a member of REVA, The Premier Real Estate Virtual Assistant Network. You can find her and many other talented Virtual Assistants at www.revanetwork.com.
