Virginia Agent Grows His Business The Sure Way
...
For Virginia agent Peter Scherman, founding member of
The B&B Team, learning how to interact with Internet
Empowered Consumers and using VAs has changed the way
his team responds to potential clients, and has helped
them present a highly professional image that speaks
directly to a very specialized niche market of
innkeepers. Here's Peter's story...
Hi Michael,
At the time I heard you
speak at a local seminar about two years
ago, I had already chosen a niche market,
and was focusing on ways to grow my
business. I had a logo and The B&B Team
name, and was being approached by people who
wanted to be a part of the team. The logo
and name needed to be protected. In your
Total Solution™ 10-Week Telecoaching
Program, I found the information I needed to
begin protecting our intellectual property,
and start building a team to help me handle
many aspects of the business.
As a class exercise I
put out bids on Elance.com and Guru.com for
an IP attorney to trademark The B&B Team
name. I chose someone from Guru.com, who was
well-educated about every aspect of this
process, and took me through it step by
step.
The B&B Team's niche
market is very specialized, providing broker
services and in-depth consultation to
innkeepers and bed and breakfast owners. We
help clients buy and sell properties in
Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Maryland, and Maine, and provide
consultation services nationwide, so it's
very important that we have a system to give
potential clients what they need and at the
same time identify those clients that are a
good fit for us. One of the key concepts for
me in your program was the importance of a
call-to-interaction, and we've developed our
Website with this in mind. I also have a
better understanding of the Internet
Empowered Consumer, and this helped me
develop a standard response to inquiries
that is very friendly, and makes the person
feel comfortable with sharing information as
we begin to develop a relationship. Asking
for more information helps us screen buyers
early in the process, and avoid sending out
large quantities of information to people
that aren't a good fit for our services.
Education is a very big
part of what we do, and we've built a wealth
of content into our Website to give people
the information they need and at the same
time showcase our knowledge, understanding,
and expertise in this market.
The concept of Virtual
Assistance was also new to me, but I didn't
want in house help, so this was a perfect
solution. I put in an application with REVA
teams and got a terrific team leader who
manages projects like database building and
management, and newsletter preparation and
mailings. With a branch office, having a
virtual team to help with essential tasks
has really been a good fit.
The 10 week course
really opened my eyes to possibilities I had
never conceived of, and which are making it
possible to grow my business in ways I never
dreamed possible – and we're just getting
started!
