Delegation Day Two

Problem: Your web-generated leads & past clients are not being properly followed up with, put into 8 X 8, 12 Direct, 33 Touch, or 5 or 10 Year Campaigns because you are too busy taking care of other day to day tasks. Before you know it you are back logged with leads who are not being followed up with.

Solution: Have your VA design and create a system of email drips in your Top Producer or other CRM program, as well as setting your Touch system up for you in an Action Plan. Then delegate your VA to make sure your touches are going out. If you are not consistently touching your leads, someone else will!

There's one good reason to delegate something to a Real Estate VA!

A real estate virtual assistant is like the missing piece of your business' puzzle. Having someone available to you to help you with the the 'small stuff' while you focus on the big picture - the things that will earn you the most income is key. Once you get that into place, you'll be growing your business faster than ever before.

Laura, I am enjoying reading your series and how you are showing our fellow rainers just how much a VA can handle so they are focusing on their clients and growing their business. It really is a true partnership. Will check back again for Day 3 - like Debbie, I'm not skipping ahead - this is fun :) ~Anne Marie

The more I read your posts, the more I am thinking about hiring a VA to do some of the tasks that I hate to do and thus never get done. I end up paying for it, and the lead slips through my fingers. I am beginning to understand the advantages of using a VA in my business.
