Cost Vs Quality

As a business manager or business owner the decision of who performs the work or tasks is yours. You review your options and make the decision based on several factors. Two of the factors that play a leading role are cost and quality. Your business must show a return of investments or ROI, so this may have your leaning to the cheapest option. Understanding the investment and planning for the business’s future could have you considering the option with the highest level of performance and quality.

The old saying is true that you get what you pay for and when you select the more economical or cheaper source to perform the tasks you might be surprised to learn who is performing the work. The lower the cost per hour typically results in a less experienced, skilled, or trained person performing the work. Always keep in mind experts and experience in a field will require a higher cost per hour. Paying more per hour may result in a higher cost per hour, but could have the potential to generate more revenue justifying the higher cost per hour.

The quality level of the work performed is a direct reflection of your business and can grow your business or send customers to your competition. When you are selecting who will perform the work, select the candidate that provides you with professional grade quality and takes your business forward. Poor quality work is negative for branding, reputation, and referrals. Making the investment in a professional that provides high quality work will build your business.

Cost and quality are two factors that you must consider when hiring the company or person that will work as an extension of your business. Understand how each impacts your current and future business, so that you are able to make the best decision.

Social Media in the Real Estate World

Why do you need an effective social medial strategy in the real estate industry? The answer is in the question…..social. Regardless of whether you are a real estate agent, mortgage broker, stager, inspector or any of the many other professions that makes up the real estate industry, your job is based on making personal connections. Isn’t that what social media is about? Making personal connections?

All real estate starts with a personal meeting. From the very start, to be effective, the agent needs to make a connection and ask questions to gain an understanding of the client’s needs. With the increasing influence of technology and the Internet, much of this now happens online. A solid social media presence can allow your clients and professional clients to learn more about you and gain a comfort level faster than a single meeting can do.

Social media has become a part of most people’s day. Prospects are engaging with agents every day. What better way to stay connected to leads and past clients, then interacting with them about things that are important to them?

Buyers and seller are also searching for agents that utilize the latest technology as both tools and marketing techniques. They expect their agent to stay current. Social media is no longer just for young people, it’s become a popular form of communication. Facebook messages, tweets, snapchat, Instagram…all the ways users interact with each other. If you’re not on these platforms, your competition is.

“But, I don’t know what I’m doing”
“I don’t have time to learn about social media”
“What should I post? And When?”

Great questions! And more detailed than we can discuss in this post.  But it’s important to get started on the basics. At a minimum, you need to have a Facebook Page, Twitter Account and YouTube Channel. Still finding this daunting? The good news is that the management of these sites can be outsourced to a virtual assistant.

You don’t make your own for sale signs, do you?

Your clients are online every day, sometimes all day. You need to be in front of them on those sites. The savvy, successful real estate professional is using social media to engage with clients and prospects, market properties and services and staying in touch with past clients. It’s a personal way to connect with leads and clients in a way that can be fun as well as relevant. You need a social media strategy that works. If you need help, and then hire someone to help you manage this important part of your business plan. 

Virtual Assistant vs In-house Assistant

Benjamin Franklin once said “Lost time is never found again”. But what does that sentiment mean to your business?  Does your business need a full staff of assistants and the office space that they will require to work in, as well as the furniture and equipment? Will you be able to find the right assistants to do the job? Do you have the time to hire, manage, and possibly fire assistants?  Do you keep a steady workload in order to keep these assistants busy? Will there be times that you need your assistant to work outside the normal business hours?  

Today, finding the right people for the job is virtually a key stroke away. I’m talking about a virtual assistant. Entrepreneur magazine writes “Using a virtual assistant can shave hours from your workweek,…, whether you’re starting or growing a business”.   

A virtual assistant can manage as many aspects of your business as you choose, while continuously changing with the needs of your business. A virtual assistant can  recruit staff, schedule appointments, conduct research, create documents and flyers, coordinate transactions, complete database entry and management and so many more endeavors, that cost your business time. And as we know- time is money. A virtual assistant is like having access to an office filled with specialists, but without the office and high overhead.  Best of all, you are in control of what your virtual assistant does and you are only paying for that work.  

The business world of 9-5 hours, an office filled with assistants, and a handshake to seal a deal is long gone. Today, we live in a fast paced world of technology.

Today, every minute counts in the world of business!

At BizeBee Virtual Assistants, you can count on us for all your business needs.
