Maximize Your Productivity – and Profit – with a Virtual Assistant
As a professional in the real estate space, your main focus is always reaching more buyers and selling more properties. But behind the scenes, a lot of tedious tasks go into the sales process. By some estimates, as much as 75% of a real estate agent’s time goes into administrative tasks - that is, tasks that don’t need to be handled directly by a licensed real estate agent. It may seem counter-intuitive to pay someone else to handle tasks you can do yourself, but imagine how much more you could do if you could spend less time focusing on the administrative side of selling properties and more time just selling.
Many tasks required in the real estate process don’t require a real estate license - tasks such as email management, customer service, data management, and more. A virtual assistant can not only take your business to the next level by providing top-notch customer service when you need it most, but can also save you thousands of dollars in lost time.
Email & Calendar Management
A virtual assistant can stay on top of your overflowing inbox, ensuring that prospective and current clients receive responses quickly, while flagging you for anything that needs your attention. They can also keep your calendar organized, move appointments and meetings when you need, and help you maximize your time with prospects and clients.
Customer Service & Lead Generation
With a conversion rate of around 0.5%-1.2%, it’s vital to ensure a consistent stream of leads and great customer service. A virtual assistant can help with lead generation tasks such as cold calling, responding to emails, phone calls, and texts from prospects, and more–providing you with a steady influx of leads to increase your earnings potential and maximize your time.
Client Data Management
A robust CRM is vital for any business, and real estate is no exception. By tasking a virtual assistant with setting up and maintaining your CRM, you can ensure that you have accurate and up to date information on everyone in your pipeline and you can focus your energy on connecting with your prospects and closing sales!
When is it time to consider hiring a virtual assistant?
If you find yourself spending more time staying on top of your emails and lead generation, answering your phone dozens of times a day, or finding that administrative tasks are eating up more of your time than it’s worth, it might be time to consider hiring a virtual assistant to help you maximize your profits by focusing your time and attention on closing more sales.
