Great Call Tonight!

Monday, March 26th, 2007

I just hung up from Ralph Robert’s call and Kandra and Lois did a great job presenting “How to Explode your Business Through the Use of a Virtual Assistant”.
I wanted to add another awesome benefit of working with a virtual assistant: Many VA’s tend to network and share ideas. That can be of great benefit […]

Are You Missing Important Emails From Clients?

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

I’ve found that sometimes, after corresponding a few times with a new client, my emails erroneously end up in their  Spam folder. Often they don’t even know I’ve responded to their emails unless I can reach them some other way.  How many important emails are you missing?
If you’re having this problem too, I may have […]

Information Overload: Is it helping us or hurting us?

Monday, March 19th, 2007

With the proliferation of available information, it’s almost as if we know about something before it even happens. Ok, that’s an exaggeration but the speed at which we receive the latest news, it’s not that far off the mark.
Seriously though, consider the information and communication technology we have available to us every minute of every […]

In over their heads…

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Spring is on the way and that’s supposed to mean the real estate market will pick up, right? 
Well, it may depending on what part of the country you’re in, but there is a lot of buzz out there right now about the shrinking buyer population, and sellers struggling to get their heads above water after […]

The Ultimate Portability Tool: Accessing your computer remotely

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

“Out in the woods or in the city, it’s all the same to me, when I’m driving free.” When The Who wrote “Goin’ Mobile,” I doubt they had any idea how easy it could be to work while away from home unless you were a traveling salesman or rock band. Well, guess what? It’s no […]

Oh, the Trials and Tribulations of Computer Security

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Computer security, and antivirus software in particular, is driving me nuts! This summer my laptop had been slowing to a crawl, then it actually froze to a complete halt. Finally, I couldn’t even boot it up at all.
I rely solely on my laptop when I’m in Northern Virginia visiting my husband. We’d done this several times over the summer […]

Effective Feedback

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

I have a question. 
Do any of the other VA’s out there (or agents that handle this piece on their own) think making feedback calls on showings is that effective? How often do you make these calls? Every 24, 48 and 72 hours? Or do you just make one live attempt and then send email requests […]

Sometimes Marketing Doesn’t Have to be Expensive, Just Creative

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Marketing is essential to a successful business. In fact, without it a business cannot survive. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or costly; it just has to reach the appropriate market. Your target market is anyone that could use your services. By marketing specifically to those most likely to use your services, you can direct […]

Freedom Voice

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Does anyone have it? If so, what is your experience with it and average monthly payment. I am looking into the program, however I am not sold yet. Do you know any similiar companies that offer the same type of service?

CRM - keep it clean!

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

What does your client database look like? Do you have a client database? I sure hope so…or how else would you keep in touch with clients, reference their information, log key information from conversations with them, and keep track of your resources (repair and maintenance companies, title agencies, mortgage brokers, etc.).
Do you keep your client […]
