SUCCESS STORY: (full story)
50% Increase This Year And Loving The Business! ...
Joan Prout is part of a successful husband/wife team that took action on hiring an awesome VA after hearing me speak at their regional sales rally. Here is her story of how their business is way up from last year while being unshackled from much of their business’s day-to-day
drudgery.
Dear Mr. Internet,
I want to thank you for the
inspiring presentation on Virtual Assistants you
gave at the Spring 2002 NJ RE/MAX Sales Rally. I
had to mull the information over for a couple of
months, but, finally, about 11 months ago, we
expanded our husband/wife real estate
partnership to include the services of a
talented Virtual Assistant named Carrie Gable,
located a time zone away.
We have never met her
face-to-face, but she has become integral to our
business as she continues to take over more and
more of the administrative functions of our
business. She checks voice mail, inputs listings
to MLS, sets up showing appointments, handles
data base management, website enhancements, deal
tracking, and client follow up, etc. She sends
out pre-listing packages and has prepared a
PowerPoint presentation for my CMAs and CD
business cards.
So far business is up this
year by about 50% and I am continuously
astounded by how many tasks I can delegate and
how much more enjoyable I'm finding the real
estate business.

Congratulations Joan! You did the one thing
that separates the top performers from the
"wannabe's" -and that is taking action.
I normally discourage agents from giving their
VAs too much to do outside their specialty.
However, in this case Carrie
Gable (Joan's primary VA) has extensive
executive assistance experience.
In speaking to her recently, Carrie indicated
that she's able to administer a broader range of
tasks because she also outsources to other VAs as
needed. This is totally transparent to her clients
like Joan who (rightfully so) are more interested
in things getting done, rather than how they get
done. This makes Carrie a classic Phase III
Virtual Executive Assistant which I refer to in my
workshops.
Because Joan is our success story of the month,
she has her pick of the three valuable tools
below, ranging in value from US$139 - $199 !
