Whether you're an estate agent, an electrician or private landlord, there are often ways in which you can improve efficiency within your business.
Are you setting up a new office and in need another pair of hands, but not the commitment of a costly, monthly wage?
Are you short-staffed because of the summer holidays?
Or do you want to focus more of your precious time on your sales and clients to increase your revenue?
Then we have the perfect solution…
Hire a Virtual Assistant and you will be able to hand over those tedious tasks, which are required to sustain and grow your business but are time-consuming and prevent you from doing what makes you the most money.
Hiring a full-time assistant can become quite costly and often, unnecessary.
Unless you have 35+ hours of work every week to give to your Assistant, it probably won’t be worth your while to employ a member of staff.
BUT, one of the main benefits of hiring a Virtual Assistant is that you can use them as and when needed!
Only need a couple of hours work each week? Not a problem!
Additional support needed just for a month? That is fine too!
Whether you’re a Home Stager in need of some marketing materials creating, a Private Investor needing your portfolio managing or a busy Plumber in need of diary management, a VA can do all of that and more!
You can’t be good at everything OR have the time to do everything, so a Virtual Assistant will do the tasks you don’t want to do!
What do some of those jobs include?
1. Creating & Scheduling Your Social Media Content
Running your social media channels is probably the least of your worries. It can often be time consuming and, if you don't specialise in it, creating content can be tiring, frustrating or boring! A social media presence is key for many businesses, especially those in the property world. Why not outsource this task and focus on what you're best at or enjoy most?
2. Updating Your Website
An engaging, up-to-date website is KEY for many property professionals but having the time to update it frequently can often fall to the bottom of your to do list! A VA can often quickly make text, content or image updates for you.
3. Managing Your Calendar and Contacts
VAs are known for being very organised,
so will be the perfect candidate for helping you to manage your busy schedule! We can update systems, book appointments, confirm viewings and valuations or carry out over-the-phone consultations or surveys. We can also manage and coordinate scheduled works to a property, house cleans on holiday lets, EPCs and gas & electrical safety checks and so much more.
4. Feedback for the Future
Everyone loves to see positive reviews when researching for the best plumber, estate agent or decorator in the area, but if you don’t have time to compile them, they’re no use! It's worth investing time in gathering testimonials as they can result in more potential clients and sales.
5. Email Management
Is your inbox in a constant state of ’58 unread emails’? Say no more! A Property Professional VA can respond to day-to-day emails, remove the junk and file relevant emails away, leaving the important ones to you.
6. Competitor Analysis
Keeping an eye on what your competitors are doing gives you the edge. This is only possible with proper research and evaluating customer needs.
7. Marketing Matters
We can often become complacent or too busy to prioritise marketing. Sometimes we feel that 'if it isn't broken don't fix it' but, when it comes to marketing, your branding and your advertising, it needs to be a reflection of who you are and the service you offer. Need a re-brand, new business cards, a magazine advert, leaflets to deliver to potential clients or a roller banner for an exhibition? A VA with graphic design skills can help with all of that!
8. Invest In Yourself
When working for yourself, it can be easy to fall into doing everything by yourself as well as juggling your personal life. This isn’t sustainable! Enjoy time off and relax knowing your business is in safe hands with a VA.
So, whether you need some marketing materials creating, social media management, your portfolio managing or invoice and diary management, a VA can do all of that and more! To read more about how we can support property professionals, click here.
