Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed with your task list?
Would you like to regain more time and freedom in your life without sacrificing your production?
Have you ever considered hiring an assistant or virtual assistant?
In this episode, Scott catches up with Richard Smith to discuss virtual assistants and how you can use them to help you build your mortgage business. If you are like most people in our industry, you have little to no experience in hiring and managing virtual assistants. That lack of experience can make the whole endeavor seem harder and scarier than it actually is in reality.
The Benefits Of Hiring A VA For Your Mortgage Business
Hiring a virtual assistant for your mortgage business will give you back the freedom of mind and time that you need to make it as a Millionaire Loan Officer or leading branch manager. When you hire a virtual assistant you are essentially buying more time which you can use to devote to more valuable tasks that require your personal touch.
Aside from the obvious benefit of having more time and freedom, you should also consider these additional benefits of hiring a virtual assistants:
- You can significantly reduce labor costs because most virtual assistants will work for wages far below what you would have to pay an administrative assistant or marketing manager. You also don’t have to worry about paying for insurance and other benefits.
- Virtual assistants are dedicated to your happiness because it is their business and livelihood that depend on your satisfaction. Therefore, they will work hard to deliver high-quality work.
- Virtual assistants save you on office space and supplies so you won’t need to waste those valuable resources on a full or part-time employee.
- You can use a virtual assistant to automate key and unenjoyable tasks that are essential to growing your mortgage business.
How To Use A VA To Grow Your Mortgage Business
Once you have accepted the idea that a virtual assistant will be a valuable resource to help you grow your mortgage business, you need to decide what you will use them for. Make sure that you utilize your VA for as many “low value” activities as possible so that you can fully focus on “high value” tasks.
Make a list of all tasks and responsibilities that don’t absolutely require you to perform them and try to outsource them to your virtual assistant. Make sure that you run your list by any potential VA’s before you hire them. Here are some great starting points for inspiration:
- Transcription (transcribing voicemail, video or audio, podcasts etc.)
- Following up with clients/customers (sending thank you and other reminder emails and cards)
- Set-up and manage your social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube)
- Receptionist duties (answering occasional calls)
- Calendar management
- Database building (updating email or contact lists on your CRM)
