For Marsha Allen of RE/MAX Realty Professionals in Wichita, Kansas, delegating administrative tasks to an assistant was easier said than done. She believed in the concept, but lived an administrative horror story right in her own office. There’s a happy ending – read on to see how a referral to REVA Teams led her to seamlessly achieve her goal.

Dear Michael,

I am feeling such relief that I have finally found a solution to handing off administrative tasks. Over the years I was introduced to the concept of Virtual Assistance through your seminars, but in the past had been fortunate to have terrific onsite assistants. However, when an excellent assistant graduated from college and left for greener pastures, my headaches began.

The replacement looked good on paper and as a graduate student in a highly skilled field I just assumed she had the basic skills to take care of my tasks. The bottom line of my sad tale is that at the end of six months she made as many mistakes as in the beginning. Not only was I spending time training and retraining, but I ended up redoing nearly everything in order to have professional materials and accurate work. Six months later I was back where I started, and not happy about the prospect of repeating the experience.

Fortunately, I remembered that Judy McCutchin used virtual assistants and emailed her asking for a recommendation. She referred me to REVA Teams and I haven’t looked back.

In less than 3 months, my team is handling listing activities for me with a minimum of input on my part. We notify my team lead when we have a new listing; photos and details are accessed directly from my server, photos are uploaded and copy added to my websites and a virtual tour is created. They create wonderful flyers that my clients love; because REVA Teams works with clients all over the country they bring fresh design and marketing ideas that are new to my area. This has really been a seamless transition for me in turning over the work – and the lag time has been cut significantly. Rather than 3-4 days, the listing is up and flyers created in a day or so, which really impresses my clients.

What a wonderful change it is not to have to worry about how the work is going to get done! REVA Teams has people that are experienced, professional and creative – all the attributes I look for. I don’t have to reinvent the wheel in finding and training someone – my team comes in knowing how to do it and do it well. Although I’m probably a micromanager about some things, I have the confidence in my team to let them go in and do the work.

Thanks for all you do to get the word out about this new way of working – it has brought wonderful results to my business!

Marsha
