Less than two months ago, Richard Bolen of the Bolen & Bolen Team at McCall Realty, Inc. in Lake Tahoe, had never even heard of Mr. Internet®. Now a short time later he walks the talk like a pro. Here’s how this quick thinking agent recognized a solution to a very big problem and took decisive action without a second thought.

Michael,

Talk about being in the right place at the right time! When I was encouraged by someone at our agency to attend a seminar and listen to someone calling himself Mr. Internet®, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had taken the e-PRO course and I realized many of the suggestions were necessary – but I was already so busy I couldn’t see straight, and definitely not in a place where I could incorporate anything new. I expected to hear more of the same from the man who created the original e-PRO class.

But what I heard instead was a message that instantly changed the way I viewed my business. As I scanned through the materials while I waited for the seminar to begin, I came across the term Virtual Assistants on page 10 and knew I was getting ready to hear about the solution I had been seeking for such a long time.

Over the past year I’ve had four assistants, none of whom were trained for this kind of business. There are tremendous skills and expertise from many different directions necessary to support our business. These include administrative, sales, keen computer skills, database management, knowledge of graphic design software, photography and retouching, internet and website management etc. There’s a very profound learning curve, and expecting to find someone who has the technical expertise to set up all the systems needed is just not realistic. In short, the solutions I’ve tried have been dreadful! Working with a team of specialists is the answer.

All of the materials from the Total Solutions Telecoaching program are great, but it’s the ePOWER! PRO book that gets religion. We’re pulling out the action items at the end of each chapter, splitting up the tasks and we are going to assault it…with eager vigor!

I’ve hired one VA to do monthly database maintenance and coordinate website upgrades with a custom design team. A second will handle our transaction coordination – online of course! And we’ll work with a third VA who will primarily handle marketing and listing coordination. When we’re ready, the next step will be to hire a VA for our drip marketing.

I haven’t been this excited in a long time about something, because I can see the end result very clearly. I love the fact that VAs are self starters and can take care of tasks without a lot of conversation.

The biggest difference for me so soon into this arrangement is a huge mental relief in finding someone to handle the critical tasks, and knowing I have a support team to implement the steps I know I need to take in my business.

What’s most important to me at the end of the day is that everyone on the team feels good about what we’ve done. They can point to our website or marketing materials and say this is an example of my work, and be proud of it.

There are several more online tools we’re implementing in the business…we never heard of any of this before we met you.

See what you’ve started!

I really don’t know how we could thank you enough.

Richard
